Bat biology, genomes, and the Bat1K project: to generate chromosome-level genomes for all living bat species
Bats are unique among mammals, possessing some of the rarest mammalian adaptations,
including true self-powered flight, laryngeal echolocation, exceptional longevity, unique …

When did plants become important to leaf‐nosed bats? Diversification of feeding habits in the family Phyllostomidae
A great proportion of bats of the New World family Phyllostomidae feed on fruit, nectar and
pollen, and many of them present adaptations to feed also on insects and small vertebrates …
