AbstractTo elucidate the phylogenetic relationships of Hylopetes, the complete cytochrome-b gene sequences (1,140 bp) were determined from degraded museum specimens for phylogenetic study. The large genetic differences (18.1% to 20.7%) separate Eoglaucomys from Hylopetes as a distinct genus. Phylogenetic relationships reconstructed with maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian methods show that all Hylopetes were genetically clustered as two major groups, the Indochinese Hylopetes group including H. alboniger and H. phayrei, and the Sundaic group consisting of H. lepidus, H. nigripes, and H. spadiceus. The close genetic relationship and the recent divergence suggest that the Indochinese group rapidly extended to their present distributions with the uplifting of the Himalayas last few million years ago, whereas the oceanic tectonic movements during the Pliocene-Pleistocene resulted in the current geographical distributions of the Sundaic group through alteration of dispersal across the islands of the Sunda Shelf.

Complete cytochrome b gene sequences (1140 base pairs) in species of Megachiroptera were ascertained in order to deduce their phylogenetic relationships, using samples of Cynopterus brachyotis, Eonycteris spelaea, Ptenochirus jagori, Pteropus vampyrus, and Rousettus amplexicaudatus collected from the islands of Luzon and Mindanao in the Philippines. Genetic divergence between samples of R. amplexicaudatus, E. spelaea, and C. brachyotis was very small. On the other hand, a large genetic distance was detected between species of Megachiroptera. The phylogenetic tree using neighbor-joining, parsimony, and maximum-likelihood methods generated similar topologies, reflecting the evolutionary associations among megachiropteran species. We estimated that Megachiroptera separated from Microchiroptera 50.2 million years ago (MYA), and split further approximately 32.4 MYA, forming three lineages: E. spelaea, R. amplexicaudatus, and P. vampyrus and the P. jagori – C. brachyotis cluster. The third lineage, composed of P. vampyrus and the P. jagori – C. brachyotis cluster, branched out 31.9 MYA. We hypothesize that R. amplexi caudatus diverged from the three members of the subfamily Pteropodinae examined, and its phylogenetic relationship with E. spelaea remains unclear.
