Article Synopsis
- Understanding speciation is complex, especially in bats due to hybridization and interspecific variation, making it hard to unravel relationships among closely related species.
- The study focuses on three closely related endemic South American bat species: Eptesicus (Histiotus) macrotus, Eptesicus (Histiotus) montanus, and Eptesicus (Histiotus) magellanicus, which are morphologically similar but struggle to be differentiated at the molecular level.
- Findings reveal strong gene flow and recent hybridization between E. (H.) montanus and E. (H.) macrotus, while E. (H.) magellanicus is more isolated, suggesting that using both nuclear and
