Thanks to the Climbats - COST Action🦇🌍 and my many coauthors for providing the data and the opportunity to conduct this study on the effects of climate on bat morphology across space and time!

Did you know?🦇Bats change size to adapt to local climate! Our meta-analysis revealed that:
🌡️ Bats are larger in colder climates (Bergmann’s rule)
🌡️ Males show positive allometry between BodyMass and ForearmLength with temperature (Allen's rule)
🌧️ Females are larger in areas with higher precipitation
