Genome Sequencing of Bat Species in Search of Causes of Longevity
Long-lived bats are extreme outliers in the normal mammalian relationships between species body size, metabolic rate, and life span. They are small, have a high metabolic rate, and unlike near all other mammals with those characteristics, many bat species are long-lived. But bat species do exhibit a
