Comparison of the phylogenies after Baker and colleagues (2003) and this paper. a) Molecular phylogeny of phyllostomid bats after Baker et al. (2003) [48] based on sequences of 12S and 16S rRNA, tRNA Valin and the rag2 gene. b) Our molecular phylogeny inferred from a complete independent molecular data set (see methods section: Alignment 1). The taxa Lonchorhinae, Glyphonycterinae and Rhinophyllinae are missing in our reconstruction. Support values were obtained by a rapid bootstrap inference in RAxML with 500 iterations. Both phylogenies show high congruence.
