A nuclear DNA phylogenetic perspective on the evolution of echolocation and historical biogeography of extant bats (Chiroptera)
Abstract Bats (Order Chiroptera), the only mammals capable of powered flight and
sophisticated laryngeal echolocation, represent one of the most species-rich and ubiquitous …

The vocal apparatus: An understudied tool to reconstruct the evolutionary history of echolocation in bats?
Laryngeal echolocation in bats could have evolved following two scenarios: a single origin
from a common ancestor or an independent acquisition inside the two clades …

Intense natural selection preceded the invasion of new adaptive zones during the radiation of New World leaf-nosed bats
The family Phyllostomidae, which evolved in the New World during the last 30 million years,
represents one of the largest and most morphologically diverse mammal families. Due to its …

Phylogenetic patterns in mouth posture and echolocation emission behavior of phyllostomid bats
While phyllostomid bats show an impressive range of feeding habits, most of them emit
highly similar echolocation calls. Due to the presence of an often prominent noseleaf, it has …
