Figure 2From: Evolutionary origins of ultrasonic hearing and laryngeal echolocation in bats inferred from morphological analyses of the inner earPhylogeny of the study species with key characters mapped. Characters are coded as follows: (I) echolocation type: broadband (yellow); constant frequency (red); FM (green); none (grey); tongue-clicks (blue); non-laryngeal echolocation (purple); (II) number of cochlear turns and (III) relative basilar membrane length. Clades are numbered as follows: (1) monotremes; (2) marsupials; (3) Afrotheria; (4) Primates; (5) Glires; (6) Carnivora; (7) Cetartiodactyla; (8) Perissodactyla; (9) Chiroptera. Branch colours indicate: Monotremes and marsupials (black); Non-bat placental mammals (brown); Yangochiroptera (green); echolocating Yinpterochiroptera (blue); non-echolocating Old World fruit bats (Pteropodidae) (orange). Representative examples of cochlear reconstructions for 18 species (a-r) are shown.Back to article page
