of evolutionary relationships that provides a context for understanding many aspects of bat biology and diversification. In addition to detailed studies of the relationships and diversification of bats, the topics covered include the mechanisms and evolution of powered flight, evolution and enhancement of...
The record of a bat fossil from the Eocene (Onychonyct- eris finneyi), which presented bone structures that could be interpreted as either a sign of non-echolocation or a primitive type of echolocation (see Simmons et al. [31], and Veselka et al. [37]) has given rise to some...
bat fossil from the Eocene (Onychonycteris finneyi), which presented bone structures that could be interpreted as either a sign of non-echolocation or a primitive type of echolocation (see Simmons et al. [31], and Veselka et al. [37]) has given rise to some controversy on the origin of...
Mormoopid bat species have their echolocation system adapted to different hunting strategies. To study the corresponding mechanical properties of their inner ear, we measured distortion-product otoacoustic emissions to assess cochlear sensitivity and tuning. Mormoops blainvillii, Pteronotus macleayii and ...
Early Mesozoic burst of morphological disparity in the slow-evolving coelacanth fish lineage Article Open access 13 July 2023 Introduction The analysis of morphological shape can be used to investigate key aspects of animal life history relevant to their ecology and evolution. In recent years, author...
[51] – may explain certain aspects of the evolutionary history of Colubroidea. Specifically, although colubroids experienced extensive diversification during Late Oligocene climatic warming, this wide taxonomic breadth was not matched with high relative abundance (compared to other snakes such as boo...
To gain insight into the evolution of Lissamphibia, I compared aspects of their coding gene architecture to those of the other major vertebrate lineages (Figure 2A), including the evolutionary rate and genes or gene clusters that are potentially under positive selection. The dN/dS ratio has bee...
