Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Sister to the Chiroptera crown-clade, the 50 million year old Vielasia sigei is suggested to have used laryngeal echolocation based on morphometric analyses. We discuss how Vielasia's discovery influences our understanding of the evolution of echolocation in bats and the insights fossils provide to the lives of extinct species.
