Bat Systematics in the Light of Unconstrained Analyses of a Comprehensive Molecular Supermatrix (2018, background): “Overall, the temporal pattern is one of near K-Pg origination, Paleocene-early Eocene major diversification (period during which 13 extant and eight fossil families appeared), followed by extraordinary crown-group diversification later during the Eocene, with the appearance of additional Neogene cro”
Global Completeness of the Bat Fossil Record (2009, background): “…volatility in hypotheses of the higher-level phylogenetic relationships of bats (Springer et al. 2001; Jones et al. 2002, 2005; Eick et al. 2005; Gunnell and Simmons 2005; Teeling et al. 2005; Hermsen and Hendricks 2008), there may be some uncertainty in estimating the quality of the fossil…”
