In the Solomon Islands, a team of scientists led by the University of Melbourne has identified a swift and unusual type of evolutionary change among local bat populations. The experts suggest that two distinct groups of leaf-nosed bats, initially thought to be different species due to their significant size differences, are actually proof of a rare case of parallel evolution. Different sizes, similar DNA Although these two species share the same environment, they have independently developed similar traits. The smaller species, Hipposideros diadema, is widespread, inhabiting...
