A 50-million-year-old, three-dimensionally preserved bat skull supports an early origin for modern echolocation
Bats are among the most recognizable, numerous, and widespread of all mammals. But
much of their fossil record is missing, and bat origins remain poorly understood, as do the …

Complexin-1 enhances ultrasound neurotransmission in the mammalian auditory pathway
Unlike megabats, which rely on well-developed vision, microbats use ultrasonic
echolocation to navigate and locate prey. To study ultrasound perception, here we …
