Evolution of Body Mass in Bats: Insights from a Large Supermatrix Phylogeny
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The reconstructed macroevolution of bat body size led to propose that echolocation and flight work as successive, nested constraints limiting bat evolution along the body size scale, and in terms of both neutral and adaptive evolutionary models.
