adaptive radiation in mammals, the New World leaf-nosed bats, using a massive dataset …

Roosting ecology has probably shaped several aspects of bat evolution. Although
Phyllostomidae species are known to use more types of roosts than any other chiropteran …

The hypothesis of Pleistocene forest refugia was tested using comparative phylogeography
