在蝙蝠鼻腔化学感觉系统中观察到的广泛多样性已经在组织学水平上得到了很好的记录。理解这种多样性是如何进化的，并提出关于为什么存在特定模式的假设，需要一个系统发育的观点，这在解剖学家Kunwar Bhatnagar的工作中首次提出。随着遗传学和基因组学的出现，人们可能会认为形态学数据中观察到的令人困惑的模式已经得到澄清。然而，在蝙蝠化学感觉系统中，遗传和形态相关性仍然存在广泛的不匹配。新的基因组证据已经建立了新的探索途径，这需要更多的解剖结构证据。在此，我们概述了自Bhatnagar的工作以来，在蝙蝠嗅觉和舌鼻系统的形态学和分子研究方面取得的进展。嗅觉和犁鼻受体的基因组数据表明，迫切需要进一步的形态学采样，特别关注接收脑区域、腺体和导管。
The extensive diversity observed in bat nasal chemosensory systems has been well‐documented at the histological level. Understanding how this diversity evolved and developing hypotheses as to why particular patterns exist require a phylogenetic perspective, which was first outlined in the work of anatomist Kunwar Bhatnagar. With the onset of genetics and genomics, it might be assumed that the puzzling patterns observed in the morphological data have been clarified. However, there is still a widespread mismatch of genetic and morphological correlations among bat chemosensory systems. Novel genomic evidence has set up new avenues to explore that demand more evidence from anatomical structures. Here, we outline the progress that has been made in both morphological and molecular studies on the olfactory and vomeronasal systems in bats since the work of Bhatnagar. Genomic data of olfactory and vomeronasal receptors demonstrate the strong need for further morphological sampling, with a particular focus on receiving brain regions, glands, and ducts.
