Hologenomic adaptations underlying the evolution of sanguivory in the common vampire bat

Hologenomic adaptations underlying the evolution of sanguivory in the common vampire bat

Adaptation to specialized diets often requires modifications at both genomic and microbiome levels. We applied a hologenomic approach to the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus), one of the only three obligate blood-feeding (sanguivorous) mammals, to study the evolution of its complex dietary adap...
