Hoxd13 expression in the developing limbs of the short‐tailed fruit bat, Carollia perspicillata
TL;DR: Bat forelimbs are highly specialized for sustained flight, providing a unique model to explore the genetic programs that regulate vertebrate limb diversity, and compared with the Hoxd13 expression profiles of other vertebrates, suggest that divergent HoxD13 expression patterns may contribute to limb morphological variation.
Delayed development in the short-tailed fruit bat, Carollia perspicillata
TL;DR: Evidence was obtained that under some circumstances Carollia can extend gestation even further, and field studies have provided evidence that females in the wild population exhibit a seasonal prolongation of pregnancy.
Reproduction in the long‐tongued Bat, Glossophaga soricina. II. Implantation and early embryonic development
TL;DR: Early development of the bat, Glossophaga soricina, was investigated histologically using 71 pregnant animals removed from a laboratory colony at timed intervals after mating to establish patterns of implantation and amniogenesis.

TL;DR: A better knowledge of how bats reproduce is important to the proper management or rescue of wild populations that are increasingly threatened by human activities, and to the successful propagation of captive populations in zoological parks for educational purposes.

Embryonic Staging System for the Black Mastiff Bat, Molossus rufus (Molossidae), Correlated With Structure‐Function Relationships in the Adult

TL;DR: An embryonic staging system for Molossus rufus was devised using 17 reference specimens obtained during the postimplantation period of pregnancy from wild‐caught, captive‐bred females by comparing the embryos to a developmental staging system created for another, relatively unrelated bat, Carollia perspicillata.
