AB  - Cranial size and shape variation of the greater horseshoe bat
   Rhinolophus ferrumequinum from territories in Serbia and Montenegro was
   examined using geometric morphometric methods. Statistically significant
   size and shape differences among specimens from distinct geographic
   regions (the Carpatho-Balkanides, the Internal and External Dinarides)
   were observed. Bats from the Carpatho-Balkanides have the smallest
   crania, while those from the External Dinarides have the largest ones.
   Compared to specimens from the Carpatho-Balkanides, bats from the other
   two regions have crania wider in the temporal and elongated in the
   facial region, while the basicranial region is smaller. Our analysis of
   sexual size dimorphism revealed no statistically significant differences
   between males and females. Even though significant sexual shape
   dimorphism was observed, cranial shape differences among bats from
   different geographic regions exceeded those between sexes. We also found
   that size and shape vary with climatic factors. Allometry has
   statistically significant effect on cranial shape variation and somehow
   contributes to covariation between cranial shape and environmental
   variables. Although the examined bats were from a relatively small
   territory, we have provided new insights into important issues like
   geographic variation, sexual dimorphism and allometry in this species.
