These were found in areas involved in immune response, viral defence, and both lipid and vitamin metabolism, suggesting they have played a key role in the evolution of the bat's specialised diet.

Convergent evolution is responsible for the wings of the bat, the bird, and the pterodactyl. In each case, the forelimbs of these vertebrates morphed over time into wings, but they did so ...

Such changes in the ways moths and bats try to get the better of each other is an example of co-evolution, and it is still going on today as they battle for survival in the night skies around the ...
