Abstract We present a complete sequence of mitochondrial genome of echolocating megabat Rousettus leschenaulti (16,704 nt, GenBank record KC702803) and provide its annotation. We also show that phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genomes of eighteen bat species, including R. leschenaulti, supports division of Chiroptera into Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiroptera.

Molecular and morphometric characterization of fruit bats of the genus Rousettus Gray, 1821 (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) in Iran

The result showed very low genetic variation between different populations of R. leschenaultii throughout its range in the Palaearctic and Indo-Malayan realms.

Comparative genomic analyses illuminate the distinct evolution of megabats within Chiroptera

The adaptive signatures discovered in the genomes of megabats may provide crucial insight into their distinct evolution, including key processes such as virus resistance, loss of echolocation, and frugivorous feeding.

Thrice better than once: quality control guidelines to validate new mitogenomes

It is shown using straightforward phylogenetic analyses of available chiropteran sequence data that the taxonomic attribution of the reported mitogenome is erroneous and the purportedly-new complete mitochondrial genome likely belongs to the Egyptian fruit bat (R. aegyptiacus) for which a reference sequence already exists.

PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS AMONG RECENT CHIROPTERAN FAMILIES AND THE IMPORTANCE OF CHOOSING APPROPRIATE OUT-GROUP TAXA

Results of the analyses strongly support other recent work indicating that Archonta is not a natural assemblage and that the sister taxon to Chiroptera may include CetartiodactylA, Perissodactyla, Carnivora, and possibly Pholidota.

Evidence for multiple reversals of asymmetric mutational constraints during the evolution of the mitochondrial genome of metazoa, and consequences for phylogenetic inferences.

This work proposes a new method for limiting this specific problem in tree reconstruction under the Bayesian approach and suggests that Chelicerata, Crustacea, Myriapoda, Pancrustacea, and Paradoxopoda are monophyletic.

Integrated fossil and molecular data reconstruct bat echolocation

A methodological approach is employed that allows for the integration of molecular and paleontological data in deciphering one of the most innovative features in the evolutionary history of mammals—laryngeal echolocation in bats.

Replication and Transcription of Mammalian Mitochondrial Dna

The basic mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA transcription and replication and the main cis‐acting elements playing a role in both processes have been determined and the regulatory mechanisms participating in mitochondrial gene expression are still poorly understood.
