The evolution of echolocation in bats.

Recent molecular phylogenies have changed our perspective on the evolution of echolocation in bats. These phylogenies suggest that certain bats with sophisticated echolocation (e.g. horseshoe bats) share a common ancestry with non-echolocating bats (e.g. Old World fruit bats). One interpretation of these trees presumes that laryngeal echolocation (calls produced in the larynx) probably evolved ...

Nonecholocating Fruit Bats Produce Biosonar Clicks with Their Wings

Because evolution mostly acts over millions of years, the intermediate steps leading to a functional sensory system remain enigmatic. Accordingly, there is an ongoing debate regarding the evolution of bat echolocation. In search of the origin of bat echolocation, we studied how Old World fruit bats, which have always been classified as nonecholocating, orient in complete darkness. We found that...

The K-Pg event as a key to bat evolution

Bats are unique mammals. This note discusses some questions regarding bat evolution including why they are nocturnal and why they can echolocate. It is hypothesized that echolocation was necessary for bats to survive the period of limited visibility that followed the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) extinction event. Introduction. Bats are amazing and unique animals: they are mammals which can fly a...

Bats, viruses, emerging diseases and humans

This paper reviews the unique characteristics of bats, their important roles in providing ecosystem services, their viruses in relation to emerging diseases. Bats, as flying mammals, are the second largest order following rodents, with a wide variety (over 1400 identified species among 230 genera of 21 families in the world) due to their flying power and echolocation. Despite their importance a...

No genome-wide protein sequence convergence for echolocation.

Toothed whales and two groups of bats independently acquired echolocation, the ability to locate and identify objects by reflected sound. Echolocation requires physiologically complex and coordinated vocal, auditory, and neural functions, but the molecular basis of the capacity for echolocation is not well understood. A recent study suggested that convergent amino acid substitutions widespread ...
