🦇 What can 103 bat genomes tell us about bat evolution?
A landmark study from EBP-affiliated Bat1K is rewriting the bat family tree, revealing new insights into their origins and the evolution of echolocation. 🧬🌍

A bat flies with its wings fully extended against a dark background. Text reads: “Where did bats come from? The genomic and fossil evidence points to Europe. The study traces the common ancestor of bats to Europe in the late Palaeocene, followed by dispersal into Africa and eventually across the globe.”A bat flies with its wings extended in front of a rocky cave background. Text reads: “Which came first: Flight or Echolocation? The answer is still unclear. But new evidence suggests laryngeal echolocation was already present before modern bats diversified, placing it near the very beginning of bat evolution.”
