Abstract

Island ecosystems represent outstanding natural laboratories for studying the interplay between ecology and evolution. Lavery et al., (2024) use genomic approaches to identify a remarkable example of repeated evolution in Hipposideros bats across the Solomon Islands archipelago. They show that larger-bodied bats have independently evolved on different islands, highlighting an exciting new system for exploring the ecological and evolutionary drivers of repeated evolution in mammals.

文摘：岛屿蝙蝠的重复体型进化

岛屿生态系统是研究生态学与进化之间相互作用的杰出天然实验室。在本期中，Lavery 等人（2024 年）利用基因组学方法发现了所罗门群岛河马蝙蝠重复进化的一个显著例子。他们的研究表明，体型较大的蝙蝠在不同的岛屿上独立进化，为探索哺乳动物重复进化的生态和进化驱动因素提供了一个令人兴奋的新系统。
