The rapid diversification of Myotis bats into more than 100 species is one of the most
extensive mammalian radiations available for study. Efforts to understand relationships …

Leaf-nosed bats (Phyllostomidae) are one of the most studied groups within the order
Chiroptera mainly because of their outstanding species richness and diversity in …

Closely related taxa often exhibit mitonuclear discordance attributed to introgression of
mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), yet few studies have considered the underlying causes of …

Mitochondrial genomes are useful in the quantitative analysis of vertebrate evolution. We
report here the complete mitochondrial genomes for a megabat (the flying fox, Pteropus …

Order Chiroptera is a unique group of mammals whose members have attained self-
powered flight as their main mode of locomotion. Much speculation persists regarding bat …

Understanding mechanisms involved in speciation can be challenging, especially when
hybridization or introgression blurs species boundaries. In bats, resolving relationships of …

Abstract The California myotis, Myotis californicns, and western small-footed myotis, Myotis
ciliolabrnm, are 2 morphologically similar bats which have had a complex taxonomic history …

Classically, molecular phylogenetic trees of Phyllostomidae have been inferred using a
combination of a few mitochondrial and nuclear markers. However, there is still uncertainty …

Natural history museum collections represent a vast source of ancient and historical DNA
samples from extinct taxa that can be utilized by high‐throughput sequencing tools to reveal …

The complete mitochondrial genomes of two microbats, the horseshoe bat Rhinolophus
pumilus, and the Japanese pipistrelle Pipistrellus abramus, and that of an insectivore, the …
