Fig. 64 in Phylogeny Of Phyllostomid Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera): Data From Diverse Morphological Systems, Sex Chromosomes, And Restriction Sites

Fig. 64. Evolution of different types of nectarivory inferred from our optimization of the nectarivory character of Ferrarezi and Gimenez (1996: table 1; see our table 8) on our strict consensus tree from the character congruence analysis. Note that the nectarivory character, as defined by Ferrarezi and Gimenez (1996) includes the consumption of pollen and petals. To prevent an equivocal reconstruction for the base of the clade that includes all phyllostomids except desmodontines, we examined trees in which the position of Brachyphylla was resolved and fixed the node at the base of the clade that includes all phyllostomids except desmodontines with the state that occurred under the two alternative placements for this genus.
