Bats are one of the most successful mammalian orders, and probably the most diverse. The 1,110-plus species provide an unparalleled exhibition of variations on the mammalian theme, and a broad lesson in biology. In the bats we see excellent illustrations of adaptive radiation, optimal foraging, coevolution, convergent evolution, reciprocal ...
15 lip 2008 · Scientists and engineers have also considered the problem — they know that differences between maple bats and the more traditional ash bats, as well as the ways that a bat is shaped and...
23 maj 2019 · Bats (order Chiroptera) are the second-most diverse order of living mammals, with over 1,400 species in 21 families (Burgin et al. 2018). Although there is consensus regarding the monophyly of the order, relationships among its constituent families remain to be fully resolved and stable ( Amador et al. 2018 ; see below).

Populations of bats in many habitats are declining because of an infection referred to as white-nose syndrome. The pathogen forms mycelia, fuzzy tangles of white filaments, on the nose of the bats. When scraped from the nose of bats and observed under the light microscope, the filaments display cells with a nucleus and cell walls.
Information presented and the examples highlighted in the section support concepts and Learning Objectives outlined in Big Idea 3 of the AP ® Biology Curriculum Framework, as shown in the table.
20 cze 1996 · This book covers all the bats and their natural history and biology. Starting with a look at their origins and evolution, and a complete review of all known families, the topics range from the most distinctive features of bats (echolocation of prey, and flight), through to their behaviour as individuals and groups, their modes of reproduction ...
