Morales et al. test predictions of adaptive radiation theory and phenotypic convergence in Myotis bats using genomic target capture and a morphological dataset that represents 80% of the species described for this genus. The authors demonstrate that ecomorphological convergence has occurred multiple times throughout the history of Myotis, despite finding no diversification rate shifts associated with phenotypic adaptation. These patterns provide evidence that parallel adaptive radiations can be the result of nonadaptive lineage diversification followed by repetitive exploitation of ecomorphological solutions.

摘要：一种用于理解生态形态趋同的新兴模型系统

莫拉莱斯等人。使用基因组目标捕获和代表该属所描述物种的 80% 的形态学数据集，测试对 Myotis 蝙蝠的适应性辐射理论和表型收敛的预测。作者证明，尽管没有发现与表型适应相关的多样化速率变化，但在 Myotis 的整个历史中，生态形态收敛已发生多次。这些模式提供证据表明，平行适应性辐射可能是非适应性谱系多样化的结果，然后是重复利用生态形态解决方案。
