dc.description.abstractAccording to Brown's hypothesis, generalists have high niche breadth and can tolerate a wide variety of environmental conditions resulting in large geographic range sizes. Conversely, specialists have low niche breadth and small range sizes. I tested this hypothesis using African Horseshoe bats to determine if differences in niche breadth can explain variation in geographic range size.en_ZA
