Neotropical Ghost-Faced bats of the genus Mormoops (Order Chiroptera, Family Mormoopidae) have a radically upturned rostrum, or snout, while the other mormoopid genus, Pteronotus, has only a slight upturning of the rostrum. This type of difference in morphology between closely related taxa is likely to be the result of some sort of specialization. Observation of Mormoops blainvillei, the Antillean Ghost-Faced bat, reveals that they can open their mouths very wide relative to the size of their heads. Mormoopid bats are insectivorous with Mormoops blainvillei having a prey preference of large moths, but related species, such as Pteronotus quadridens, the Sooty Mustached bat, have a more varied diet with a large component of smaller hard-bodied beetles. While there have been many studies on feeding ecology of phyllostomid bats, available research on mormoopids is limited and functional relationships between craniorostral shape and feeding mechanics have not been established. The objectives of this study were to quantify structural and functional differences in craniomandibular function between Mormoops blainvillei and Pteronotus quadridens by analyzing maximum gape, bite force, and masticatory muscle configuration and relate this to prey preference previously described in the literature. Results showed that Mormoops blainvillei had a much wider maximum active gape and reduced normalized maximum bite force than Pteronotus quadridens which corresponded to the size and hardness of their respective diets. Mormoops blainvillei had a greater percentage of masticatory musculature allocated to wide gape than Pteronotus quadridens where the narrow gape chewing muscles were favored. Upturning of the rostrum reduces range of motion limitations at the craniomandibular joint which could have resulted in the ability to achieve wider gapes in Mormoops blainvillei.

"An interesting and enjoyable read. . . . Rich detail presented in well-written, logical fashion about the bat fauna of this interesting island." --Acta ChiropterologicaThe Caribbean islands are home to some of the most unusual species of bats. A number of them are endemic, living in no other region of the world. On Puerto Rico alone, thirteen different species have been found. Bats are the only naturally occurring mammals there; all others were introduced after settlement of the island, first by the Taíno Indians and later by the Spanish.Puerto Rico is important for study because of its human history, tropical climate, size, relief, and isolation from the mainland. It is a useful model for understanding how historical, geographic, and environmental factors interact in a controlled environment to affect the diversity and complexity of its resident species.This volume is the first complete compilation of the distribution, natural history, taxonomy, and ecology of the bats of Puerto Rico. The coauthors, all experienced researchers, introduce the book with a discussion of Puerto Rican ecosystems and an overview of facts and misconceptions about bats in general. The main text provides detailed descriptions of each of the thirteen Puerto Rican species, as well as illustrations of their faces and skulls. The book concludes with keys to the characters of these bats and a complete glossary. Maps show the distribution of each species on the island.Bats of Puerto Rico is designed to be an easily used source of information for the general public as well as a complete descriptive record for ecologists, mammalogists, and wildlife biologists.

From reviews of previous editions: “This is the standard reference about Texas mammals.” —Wildlife Activist “A must for anyone seriously interested in the wildlife of Texas.” —Texas Outdoor Writers Association News “[This book] easily fills the role of both a field guide and a desk reference, and is written in a style that appeals to the professional biologist and amateur naturalist alike. . . . [It] should prove useful to anyone with an interest in the mammal fauna of Texas or the southern Great Plains.” —Prairie Naturalist The Mammals of Texas has been the standard reference since the first edition was coauthored by William B. Davis and Walter P. Taylor in 1947. Revised several times over the succeeding decades, it remains the most authoritative source of information on the mammalian wildlife of Texas, with physical descriptions and life histories for 202 species, abundant photographs and drawings, and distribution maps. In this new edition, David J. Schmidly is joined by one of the most active researchers on Texas mammals, Robert D. Bradley, to provide a thorough update of the taxonomy, distribution, and natural history of all species of wild mammals that inhabit Texas today. Using the most recent advances in molecular biology and in wildlife ecology and management, the authors include the most current information about the scientific nomenclature, taxonomy, and identification of species, while also covering significant advances in natural history and conservation.
