コウモリのゲノムと化石は、6500万年前のヨーロッパ起源を示唆している これまでで最大規模のコウモリのゲノムと化石を組み合わせた研究が行われ、コウモリは約6500万年前にヨーロッパで発生し、その後世界中に広がった可能性が高いことが明らかになった。 この研究はまた、反響定位が飛行能力と同様にコウモリの進化の初期に進化したことを明らかにし、コウモリの並外れた長寿と病気への抵抗力の遺伝的基盤に関する研究の基礎を築き、人間の健康にも関連する可能性を示唆している 論文OA Morales, A.E., Liang, Y., Thomas, W.R. et al.

An analysis of fossil mammals suggests that Mexico served as a long-term evolutionary “holding pen” where North American species adapted and diversified for millions of years before sweeping into South America 2.8 million years ago. The findings in Science clarify the timing of one of Earth's most consequential migrations and may help explain why North American mammals were more successful migrants than those from South America. scim.ag/4fKB0ZF
