Advances in morphological and molecular methods continue to uncover
new information on the origin and evolution of bats. Presenting
some of the most remarkable discoveries and research involving
living and fossil bats, this book explores their evolutionary
history from a range of perspectives. Phylogenetic studies based on
both molecular and morphological data have established a framework
of evolutionary relationships that provides a context for
understanding many aspects of bat biology and diversification. In
addition to detailed studies of the relationships and
diversification of bats, the topics covered include the mechanisms
and evolution of powered flight, evolution and enhancement of
echolocation, feeding ecology, population genetic structure,
ontogeny and growth of facial form, functional morphology and
evolution of body size. The book also examines the fossil history
of bats from their beginnings over 50 million years ago to their
diversification into one of the most globally wide-spread orders of
mammals living today.
