This document discusses issues with using morphological data to construct phylogenetic trees for bat species. It finds that morphological characters can be highly convergent due to similarities in ecology and function. This saturation of morphological signal over time makes resolving relationships difficult. However, the study finds that dental characters provide a strong phylogenetic signal, likely because they are repeated across the dentition and show less convergence than other traits. The repetition of dental characters amplifies phylogenetic signal and helps resolve relationships that would otherwise be unresolved using morphology alone.
