Abstract
|
|
|
|
The osteology of the atlas of phyllostomatid bats is considered. The presence of two prominent ventral spines, a midventral tubercle and accessory processes on the transverse processes are noted. Functional consideration of the atlas is presented by a study of the myology of the upper cervical region of Artibeus lituratus. Consideration is given to possible phylogenetic implications.
