Cranial size has increased over 133 years in a common bat, Pipistrellus kuhlii: a response to changing climate or urbanization? (2014, background): “Although temporal trends in the body size of bats are poorly known, spatial pattern analyses have revealed a general increase in body size under seasonal climatic regimes and higher daily minimum temperature (Storz et al., 2001; Richards et al., 2012).”
Effects of climate change on life history: implications for extinction risk in mammals (2009, background): “…further demonstrated that variation in breeding seasonality among populations of species which occupy large geographical ranges can also influence the degree of sexual selection, secondary sexual characteristics and the degree of polygyny (Quin et al. 1996, Storz et al. 2001, Isaac & Johnson 2003).”
