2. No island species on
the continent I
There are many more
species on the continent
Rojas et al. 2016 Syst. Biol.
3. No island species on
the continent II
Less diverse communities
on islands and underused
resources
=> Islands easier to
colonize

4. No island species on
the continent III
More diverse communities
on continent select for
increased competitive ability

7. Not for these bats
Multi-locus phylogeny fails
to support island origin
Rojas et al. 2016 Syst. Biol.
8. Key fossil is missing in phylogenies

9. Analyses
• Data
• Multi-locus data (7 nuclear, 3 mt)
• Morphological data
• Tip dating
• All extinct Quaternary bats in clade and
sister
• Independent gamma rates
• BioGeoBEARS
• DEC+J model (best-fit)
• Test ancestral constraint
