A sample of the bat families studied with ecomorphological characters mapped onto the phylogeny.

<p>Bat phylogeny to show species representation based on Teeling <i>et al. </i><a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0061998#pone.0061998-Teeling1" target="_blank">[34]</a>. Family call types are taken from Jones and Teeling <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0061998#pone.0061998-Jones2" target="_blank">[41]</a>; no laryngeal echolocation (white); short, broadband, multiharmonic (yellow); narrowband, multiharmonic (purple); constant frequency (blue); narrowband, dominated by fundamental harmonic (green).
