Evolutionary relationships of the old world fruit bats (Chiroptera, Pteropodidae): Another star phylogeny? by Giannini Norberto P, Almeida Francisca C, DeSalle Rob, Simmons Nancy B

“…<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The family Pteropodidae comprises bats commonly known as megabats or Old World fruit bats. Molecular phylogenetic studies of pteropodids have provided considerable insight into intrafamilial relationships, but these studies have included only a fraction of the extant diversity (a maximum of 26 out of the 46 currently recognized genera) and have failed to resolve deep relationships among internal clades. …”
