  • Title: Molecular dating of the diversification of Phyllostominae bats based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences.
    Author: Hoffmann FG, Hoofer SR, Baker RJ.
    Journal: Mol Phylogenet Evol; 2008 Nov; 49(2):653-8. PubMed ID: 18727956.
    Abstract:
    Times of divergence among the three tribes included within the subfamily Phyllostominae were estimated using a Bayesian approach to infer dates of divergence based on mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data. The subfamily Phyllostominae is particularly attractive for such analysis, as it is one of the few groups of bats to have fossil specimens. Our molecular time analyses suggest that diversification among tribes and genera of phyllostomine bats occurred during the Early to Mid-Miocene, and was coincident with diversification events in two co distributed taxa: Caviomorph rodents and New World monkeys.
