Chromosomal Evolution in Chiroptera [PDF]

open access: yesGenes, 2017
Chiroptera is the second largest order among mammals, with over 1300 species in 21 extant families. The group is extremely diverse in several aspects of its natural history, including dietary strategies, ecology, behavior and morphology. Bat genomes show ample chromosome diversity (from 2n = 14 to 62).

Multifactorial processes underlie parallel opsin loss in neotropical bats

open access: yeseLife, 2018
The loss of previously adaptive traits is typically linked to relaxation in selection, yet the molecular steps leading to such repeated losses are rarely known. Molecular studies of loss have tended to focus on gene sequences alone, but overlooking other
