Megachiropteran bats profoundly unique from microchiropterans in climbing and walking locomotion: Evolutionary implications

Understandably, most locomotor analyses of bats have focused on flight mechanics and behaviors. However, we investigated nonflight locomotion in an effort to glean deeper insights into the evolutionary history of bats. We used high-speed video (300 Hz) to film and compare walking and climbing mechan...
