Comparisons within a phylogenetic context. Species different in their diets and craniofacial length morphology were compared within a phylogenetic context. A silhouette of the primary source of food for each species is represented at each terminal node for M. natalensis (moth), G. soricina (neotropical bell-flower), C. perspicillata (piper fruit), and A. jamaicensis (fig). Dorsal views of µCT images capturing PC1 diversity from our prior principal component (PC) analysis [11] on skull shape show an ‘average’ or generalist shape in Carollia perspicillata, an extreme PC1-positive score in Platalina genovensium (nectarivore; MCZ-32948), and an extreme PC1-negative score in Centurio senex (frugivore; AMNH-M175651).
