Phenetic relationships among bats of the family Rhinolophidae

Phenetic analyses, using the common-part-removed transformation of Wood (1983) were performed on 2.5 - 6.4% of the variance that describes morphometric differences among bats of the family Rhinolophidae. Two ordination methods, one clustering technique, and a minimum-spanning tree were employed to assess patterns of similarity among 62 species. Two major phenetic groups were revealed.
