==== Bat evolution ==== Bats evolved at the start of the [[Eocene]] epoch, around 64 [[myr|mya]]. The Yangochiroptera appeared some 55 mya, and the Rhinolophoidea some 52 mya.<ref name="Teeling Springer Madsen Bates 2005">{{cite journal | last1=Teeling | first1=Emma C. | last2=Springer | first2=Mark S. | last3=Madsen | first3=Ole | last4=Bates | first4=Paul | last5=O'Brien | first5=Stephen J. | last6=Murphy | first6=William J. | title=A Molecular Phylogeny for Bats Illuminates Biogeography and the Fossil Record | journal=Science | publisher=American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) | volume=307 | issue=5709 | date=28 January 2005 | issn=0036-8075 | doi=10.1126/science.1105113 | pages=580–584 | pmid=15681385 | bibcode=2005Sci...307..580T | s2cid=25912333 |url=https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mark-Springer/publication/8051516_A_Molecular_Phylogeny_for_Bats_Illuminates_Biogeography_and_the_Fossil_Record/links/00b4951800240564a6000000/A-Molecular-Phylogeny-for-Bats-Illuminates-Biogeography-and-the-Fossil-Record.pdf <!--author's website-->}}</ref> There are two hypotheses about the evolution of echolocation in bats.
