The Placental Mammal Ancestor and the Post–K-Pg Radiation of Placentals
TLDR
A phylogenetic tree shows that crown clade Placentalia and placental orders originated after the K-Pg boundary, but phenomic signals overturn molecular signals to show Sundatheria (Dermoptera + Scandentia) as the sister taxon of Primates, a close link between Proboscidea and Sirenia (sea cows), and the monophyly of echolocating Chiroptera (bats).

THE MAMMALS OF PARACOU, FRENCH GUIANA: A NEOTROPICAL LOWLAND RAINFOREST FAUNA PART 2. NONVOLANT SPECIES
TLDR
Systematic research with nonvolant mammal specimens collected as voucher material resulted in the discovery of new taxa, documented range extensions of previously described species, and helped resolve many longstanding taxonomic problems.

PHYLOGENY OF PHYLLOSTOMID BATS (MAMMALIA: CHIROPTERA): DATA FROM DIVERSE MORPHOLOGICAL SYSTEMS, SEX CHROMOSOMES, AND RESTRICTION SITES
TLDR
Phyllostomidae is a large (> 140 species), diverse clade of Neotropical bats, and the results indicate that intermediate stages of external uterine fusion are often derived relative to the fully simplex condition, and that reversals also occur with respect to internal uterusine fusion.

Primitive Early Eocene bat from Wyoming and the evolution of flight and echolocation
TLDR
A new bat is described from the Early Eocene Green River Formation of Wyoming, USA, with features that are more primitive than seen in any previously known bat, supporting a ‘flight first’ hypothesis for chiropteran evolution.

Fossil Evidence and the Origin of Bats
TLDR
A new phylogenetic analysis indicates that several early fossil bats are consecutive sister taxa to the extant crown group (including megabats), and suggests a single origin for the order, at least by the late Paleocene.

An Eocene Big Bang for Bats
TLDR
A new bat phylogenetic tree is discussed that sheds light on the evolution of the only mammals capable of both flight and echolocation.
