MORPHOLOGICAL IDENTIFICATION OF THE SOPRANO
ABSTRACT- After the discovery of two different phonic types within the common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus), mtDNA analysis confirmed the existence of two separate species named as common pipistrelle (P. pipistrellus) and soprano pipistrelle (P. pygmaeus). The discrimination of these two c...
