Sequencing whole mitochondrial genomes to assess genetic divergence between proposed silver-haired bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans) populations

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The geographic distributions of eastern and western Lasionycteris noctivagans populations suggest they could be genetically isolated, but this has rarely been assessed using genetic data.

Go to the city: Urban invasions of four pipistrelle bat species in eastern Slovakia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Until now, late summer or autumn invasions into inhabited building have been regarded as phenomenon typical for the common pipistrelle, pipistrellus pipistrellus, exclusively.

Mitochondrial genome of the Harpiocephalus harpia (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) from China

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
In this study, a complete mitochondrial genome of a female Harpiocephalus harpia from Zhejiang Province, China, was sequenced using Illumina Hiseq. The genome is ∼16,400 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer

Diversity in the organization of elastin bundles and intramembranous muscles in bat wings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Unlike birds and insects, bats fly with wings composed of thin skin that envelops the bones of the forelimb and spans the area between the limbs, digits, and sometimes the tail.

A proximodistal gradient in bone structure and mechanics in the wings of Seba's short‐tailed bat, Carollia perspicillata

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Bats possess the remarkable ability to fly, and with this, distinctive wing bone properties. We investigated the structural, mechanical, and compositional properties of the humerus, radius, metacarpals, and proximal and middle phalanges of Carollia perspicillata, an approximately 15 g fruit‐eating bat native to the Neotropics.

Earth History and the Evolution of Caribbean Bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Although the natural history of the Caribbean is better understood now than ever before, a general biogeographic explanation for the peculiar faunal composition of the islands remains elusive.

High bat (Chiroptera) diversity in the Early Eocene of India [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The geographic origin of bats is still unknown, and fossils of earliest bats are rare and poorly diversified, with, maybe, the exception of Europe. The earliest bats are recorded from the Early Eocene of North America, Europe, North Africa and Australia ...

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
