	ANIMAL BYTES - Order Chiroptera
		The order Chiroptera is divided into two suborders: Megachiroptera (with a single family, Pteropodidae) and Microchiroptera (with the remaining 17 families).
		Chiroptera are distributed throughout the world except in the coldest polar regions of the northern and southern hemispheres above the tree lines.
		Chiroptera are heterothermic with body temperature variances of between 41° C (106° F) during flight to a hibernating and torpor temperature of 2° C (36° F).

	CHIROPTERA - LoveToKnow Article on CHIROPTERA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The mammals comprised in this order are at once distinguished by the possession of true wings; this peculiarity being accompanied by other modifications of bodily structure having relation to aerial locomotion.
		Thus, in direct contrast to all other mammals, in which locomotion is chiefly effected by action from behind, and the hind-limbs consequently greatly preponderate in size over the fore, in the Chiroptera the fore-limbs, being the agents in propelling the body forward during flight, immensely exceed the short and weak hinder extremities.
		Palaeontology tells us nothing with regard to the origin of the Chiroptera, all the known fossil species, some of which date back to the Oligocene, being more or less closely allied to existing types, and therefore of comparatively little interest.

	Chiroptera Sapiens
		The Chiroptera family, commonly known by the name "bats", has been around for approximately 50 million years and has remained relatively unchanged in all that time (Tuttle, 1988).
		Chiroptera Sapiens is an anthropoid standing roughly four feet (1.22 meters) tall and weighing 95 pounds (43 kilograms).
		It is entirely possible that this world may yet see the development of this species, Chiroptera Sapiens.

	An Introduction to Bats (Chiroptera)
		Bats may not be dangerous to mankind, but mankind is dangerous to bats, most known bat populations have undergone considerable population reductions in the last 50 years, mostly due to modern agricultural polices and the increased hunting ability supplied by guns, and many species are endangered.
		Although there was some suggestion in the past that the two suborders may have evolved separately, it is now generally accepted that they are monophyletic, meaning that the all bats arose from a single ancestral lineage.
		Although the order Chiroptera is divided into 18 families most bats (95%) are congregated into only six families; the Pteropidae in the Megachiroptera and the Emballonuridae, Molossidae, Phyllostomidae, Rhinolophidae and Vespertilionidae in the Microchiroptera.

	Chiroptera
		The entire bone structure of bats is modified for flight, and as we should expect, this is most noticeable in the arms.
		As the name "Chiroptera" ("hand wing) translates, the wings are formed by a stretched membrane across elongated finger bones to the sides of the body and all the way down enclosing the legs and tail.
		In the Megachiroptera (large bats), however, the membrane does not extend across the legs down to the feet, as it does in the Microchiroptera (small bats).

	ADW: Chiroptera: Information
		In the late 1980's and early 1990's some researchers argued that Megachiroptera, which consists solely of the family Pteropodidae (Old World fruit bats), is a sister group to the primates rather than to Microchiroptera.
		The behavior that unifies all of Chiroptera is flight.
		Bats are the only group of mammals to have evolved powered flight (although many species glide), and only the third vertebrate group to do so.

	CDC - Nipah Virus Infection in Bats (Order Chiroptera) in Peninsular Malaysia
		Preliminary characterization of a human isolate of the new virus, subsequently named Nipah virus, showed it to have ultrastructural, serologic, antigenic, and molecular similarities to Hendra virus (1-3).
		This apparently close phylogenetic relationship focused initial wildlife surveillance on bats (order Chiroptera), particularly pteropid bats (flying foxes), species of which are the probable natural host of Hendra virus in Australia (4-6).
		Additional support for this targeted approach was provided by the findings of earlier serologic surveillance of flying foxes in Papua New Guinea, in which antibodies neutralizing Hendra virus were found in five of six species tested (Field et al., unpub.

	Monophyletic Origin Of The Order Chiroptera and Its Phylogenetic Position Among Mammalia, As Inferred From The Complete ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		We analyzed this sequence phylogenetically by comparing it with the complete sequence of mtDNAs of 35 mammals in an effort to reevaluate the enigmatic relationship between Megachiroptera and Microchiroptera and the relationships between them and other mammals.
		Maximum-likelihood analysis of twelve concatenated mitochondrial proteins from 36 mammals strongly suggest that the order Chiroptera is monophyletic and closely related to Fereuungulata (Carnivora + Perissodactyla + Cetartiodactyla).
		We estimate that megabats and microbats diverged from each other approximately 76 Myr BP, which is much older than previously thought, and discuss the origin and early evolution of Chiroptera based on these findings.
