Abstract excerpt
Mammals have evolved a variety of morphological adaptations that have allowed them to compete in their natural environments. The developmental genetic basis of this morphological diversity remains largely unknown. Bats are mammals that have the unique ability of powered flight. We have examined the molecular embryology of bats and investigated the developmental genetic basis for their highly derived limbs used...
