An independent molecular analysis trying to establish the dates when bat ectoparasites evolved came to the conclusion that bedbugs similar to those known today (all major extant lineages, all of which feed primarily on bats) had already diversified and become established over 100 mya (i.e., long before the oldest records for bats, 52 mya ...
1974: The lithium-ion battery is invented by M. Stanley Whittingham, and further developed in the 1980s and 1990s by John B. Goodenough, Rachid Yazami and Akira Yoshino. It has impacted modern consumer electronics and electric vehicles. [508] 1974: The Rubik's cube is invented by Ernő Rubik which went on to be the best selling puzzle ever. [509]

A 2011 study hypothesized that, rather than having evolved from gliders, the ancestors of bats were flutterers, although the researchers did not find any actual evidence for this theory. [10] A 2020 study proposed that flight in bats might have originated independently at least three times, in the groups Yangochiroptera , Pteropodidae and ...
Bats are extreme when it comes to sound production and have a greater vocal range than singers like Mariah Carey and Prince, a new study suggests. Many animals produce sound to communicate with ...
In the older literature, these three genera were placed within a family of their own, Desmodontidae, but taxonomists have now grouped them as a subfamily, Desmodontinae, in the New World leaf-nosed bat family, Phyllostomidae. [1] The three known species of vampire bats all seem more similar to one another than to any other species.
