Bat Systematics in the Light of Unconstrained Analyses of a Comprehensive Molecular Supermatrix (2018, methodology): “1); specif ical ly, this backbone included the Yangochiroptera and Yinpterochiroptera suborders, the Bmicrobat^ superfamilies Rhinolophoidea, Emballonuroidea, Noctilionoidea, and Vespertilionoidea, and the large subfamily Myotinae in Vespertilionidae (Shi and Rabosky 2015).”
The role of frugivory in the diversification of bats in the Neotropics (2012, methodology): “The branching pattern and estimated times of divergence were consistent with previous works (Teeling et al., 2005; Meredith et al., 2011).”
Molecular Studies and Phylogeography of Amazonian Tetrapods and their Relation to Geological and Climatic Models (2010, background): “Recent analyses indicate that at least three dispersal events must have taken place into the continent, within the superfamilies Emballonuroidea, Noctilionoidea and Vespertilionoidea (Eick et al. 2005; Teeling et al. 2005).”
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus in Bats, Saudi Arabia (2013, methodology): “The identity of bat species yielding specific viral products was determined by amplifying and sequencing a fragment of the cytochrome B gene (10).”
The importance of temporal heterothermy in bats (2014, background): “Many evolutionary studies on bats have focused on the evolution of flight, echolocation or immune function in bats (Teeling et al., 2005; Teeling, 2009; Shen et al., 2010; Zhang et al., 2013).”
Global Completeness of the Bat Fossil Record (2009, methodology): “Teeling et al. (2005) found similar results—the origins of 73% of the 58 bat lineages in their analyses were underestimated by the fossil record.”
Evolution of Seed Size and Biotic Seed Dispersal in Angiosperms: Paleoecological and Neoecological Evidence (2008, background): “In contrast, fossil evidence suggests that one of the most important groups of extant frugivorous mammals, fruit bats, did not become abundant until the Miocene (although molecular evidence indicates an earlier origin of bats; Teeling et al. 2005).”
A Phylogeny and Timescale for Marsupial Evolution Based on Sequences for Five Nuclear Genes (2008, methodology): “Unrepresented basal branch lengths The UBBL technique for estimating the completeness of the fossil record has previously been applied to two mammalian clades—Chiroptera (Teeling et al. 2005) and Felidae (Johnson et al. 2006).”
Molecular phylogenetics of Myotis indicate familial-level divergence for the genus Cistugo (Chiroptera) (2010, methodology): “Moreover, the level of genetic distinctiveness is equal to, or greater than, differences between Vespertilionidae and Miniopteridae or Molossidae and differences between Phyllostomidae and Mormoopidae.”
Nectar‐feeding bird and bat niches in two worlds: pantropical comparisons of vertebrate pollination systems (2008, background): “Based on molecular and fossil evidence, the Phyllostomidae is about 39 million years old (Jones et al., 2005; Teeling et al., 2005), and Davalos (2004) has estimated that glossophagine bats are at least 12 million years old.”
Echolocation calls in Central American emballonurid bats: signal design and call frequency alternation (2007, background): “This pattern may in part reflect phylogenetic relationships as emballonurid bats represent the basic group of extant bats whereas vespertilionid and molossid bats form a sister group (Teeling et al., 2005).”
Bats: Important Reservoir Hosts of Emerging Viruses (2006, background): “Although the fossil record of bat evolution is incomplete (77), a recent analysis of 17 nuclear genes dated the origin of chiropterans to the Eocene period (52 to 50 million years ago), coincident with a significant rise in global temperature (147).”
The phylogenetic system of Mantodea (Insecta: Dictyoptera) (2013, positive): “…the assumption of the origin of hearing in Mantodea primarily as an answer to echolocating bats, because the latter probably evolved more than 60 My later (Novacek 1985; Teeling et al. 2005; Jones & Teeling 2006; Benton 2007; Yager & Svenson 2008; earlier assumed by Yager & May 1990: 57).”
