Phylogenetic relationships of fruit bats(Family:Pteropodidae) in Malaysia inferred from partial mtDNA Cytochrome b gene

The taxonomic relationships of the Old World fruit bat family, Pteropodinae, by Anderson (1912) using morphological characters have been challenged by several authors. Previous studies using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) found major disagreement between morphology and molecular data in inferring the phy...
