Behavioral evidence for cone-based ultraviolet vision in divergent bat species and implications for its evolution

Behavioral evidence for cone-based ultraviolet vision in divergent bat species and implications for its evolution

We investigated the reactions of four bat species from four different lineages to UV light: Hipposideros armiger (Hodgson, 1835) and Scotophilus kuhlii Leach, 1821, which use constant frequency (CF) or frequency modulation (FM) echolocation, respectively; and Rousettus leschenaultii (Desmarest, 1820...
