Comparison of phylogenetic and biogeographic structure in Malagasy trident bats (genus Triaenops). (A) T. auritus (resurrected from synonom) (J.R. and S.M.G., unpublished work) and T. furculus show very distinct segregation into northern and southern distributions (indicated by solid line). (B) T. rufus shows diffuse distribution with no apparent biogeographic structure. (C) Comprehensive Triaenops phylogeny reveals that Malagasy taxa are paraphyletic with respect to African species, T. persicus. Sequences are deposited in the GenBank database under accession nos. DQ005718-DQ005850. (Adapted from A.L.R., E. Palkovacs, J.R., S.M.G., and A.D.Y., unpublished work.)
