megachiroptera การใช้

• Unlike the suborder Microchiroptera, members of the Megachiroptera, such as " P . lucasi " do not echolocate.
• In the 1980s, a hypothesis based on morphological evidence was offered that stated the Megachiroptera evolved flight separately from the Microchiroptera.
• Despite the larger size observed in the females, M . pusillus is still one of the smaller mammals in the Megachiroptera suborder.
• Out of two traditionally recognized suborders Megachiroptera ( megabats ) and Microchiroptera ( microbats / echolocating bats ), the greater noctule bat belongs to the Microchiroptera suborder.
• Bats have been traditionally thought to belong to one of two monophyletic groups, a view that is reflected in their classification into two suborders ( Megachiroptera and Microchiroptera ).
• The so-called flying primate hypothesis proposes that, when adaptations to flight are removed, the Megachiroptera are allied to primates by anatomical features not shared with Microchiroptera.
• Novacek ( 1987 ) reanalyzed morphology of " Icaronycteris " and " Palaeochiropteryx " and concluded that they are more closely related to Microchroptera than to Megachiroptera.
• Bats are mammals that are classified into two orders Megachiroptera ( megabats ), in which fruit bats belong; and Microchiroptera ( microbats ) which includes all the other bats.
• The traditional subdivision between Megachiroptera and Microchiroptera reflects the view that these groups of bats have evolved independently of each other for a long time, from a common ancestor already capable of flight.
• Bats were formerly grouped in the superorder Archonta, along with the treeshrews ( Scandentia ), colugos ( Dermoptera ), and the primates, because of the apparent similarities between Megachiroptera and such mammals.
• Bats are usually classified into two main groups : Microchiroptera ( the most numerous, and commonly found throughout the world ), and Megachiroptera ( fruit bats, found in Asia, Africa and Australasia ).
• In contrast, Van Valen ( 1979 ) argued that these fossil forms are representatives of Eochiroptera, a primitive grade ancestral to both Megachiroptera and Microchiroptera; modern researchers, however, consider this clade to be obsolete.
• Although horseshoe bats have traditionally been included in the suborder Microchiroptera ( " microbats " ), genetic evidence suggests they and a few other microbat families are more closely related to Pteropodidae, the only family of " megabats " ( Megachiroptera ).
• Like all the other bats within the suborder Megachiroptera, M . pusillus does not rely on echolocation to hunt down insects . it was originally hypothesized that M . pusillus primarily fed on nectar and fruits, but there is now images of M . pusillus feeding on moths.
