Tantalian niobian titanite occurs in the IRA pegmatites on the Irgon claim, in the Winnipeg River pegmatite field of southeastern Manitoba. This titanite is a rare early component of a secondary…

Postnatal ontogeny of the cochlea and flight ability in Jamaican fruit bats (Phyllostomidae) with implications for the evolution of echolocation

The data show that the morphological prerequisite for sonar sensitivity of the cochlea significantly precedes the onset of flight in young bats and, in fact, development of this prerequisite is complete before parturition, which corroborate and support the hypothesis that adaptations forSonar and echolocation evolved before flight in mammals.

It is contended that nonflight locomotion mechanics give a deep evolutionary view into the ancestral locomotor platform on which flight was built in each of these groups.

The naphthylamidase isozyme complement of Sarcina lutea was studied. Gel filtration yielded two fractions, Sephadex I and Sephadex II. Sephadex I contained one enzyme generally resembling leucineam...
Ontogeny of vocalization in Jamaican fruit bats with implications for the evolution of echolocation

The data support the hypothesis that communication and sonar calls are discrete and independently derived at birth and thus have different evolutionary pathways as well.
Integrating Ontogeny of Echolocation and Locomotion Gives Unique Insights into the Origin of Bats

It is found clear evidence that the ability to hear high frequency echolocation-like sounds preceded the able to produce it and that a simple eCholocation system was likely inherited from a shrew-like ancestor and was not an in situ evolutionary innovation of bats.
Ontogeny of the Larynx and Flight Ability in Jamaican Fruit Bats (Phyllostomidae) With Considerations for the Evolution of Echolocation

The data suggest the larynx of echolocating bats becomes stronger and sturdier in tandem with flight development, indicating possible developmental integration between flight and Echolocation.
Reinforcement of the larynx and trachea in echolocating and non‐echolocating bats

All laryngeal echolocators exhibited mineralized or ossified lateral expansions of the cricoid for articulation with the inferior horn of the thyroid, and these were most prominent in the high‐duty cycle high‐intensity rhinolophids and hipposiderid species, perhaps suggesting relatively recent evolution of high-duty cycle eCholocation in P. parnellii.
