Malaysian fruit bats phylogeny inferred using ribosomal RNA

Fourteen species of the Malaysian fruit bats (Pteropodidae) were used in this DNA taxaonomy using 1,334bp of the 125 ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA) valine and 16S rRNA gene segments. Previous studies using DNA found contradictious between morphology and molecular data in inferring the phy...
