Karyotypic stasis and swarming influenced the evolution of viral tolerance in a species-rich bat radiation
Open accessAbstract
The emergence of COVID-19 and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has prioritized understanding bats' viral tolerance. Myotis bats are exceptionally species rich and have evolved viral tolerance. They also exhibit swarming, a cryptic behavior where large, multi-species assemblages gather for mating, which has been hypothesized to promote interspecific hybridization. To resolve the coevolution of genome architecture and their unusual antiviral tolerance, we undertook a phylogenomic analysis of 60 Old World Myotis genomes. We demonstrate an extensive history of introgressive hybridization that has replaced the species phylogeny across 17%-93% of the genome except for pericentromeric regions of macrochromosomes. Introgression tracts were enriched on microchromosome regions containing key antiviral pathway genes overexpressed during viral challenge experiments. Together, these results suggest that the unusual Myotis karyotype may have evolved to selectively position immune-related genes in high recombining genomic regions prone to introgression of divergent alleles, including a diversity of interleukin loci responsible for the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Some mammal species appear capable of retaining phenotypic and ecological distinctiveness from related species even in the face of substantial introgressive hybridization (e.g., mustelids, felids, bats).
“Some mammal species appear capable of retaining phenotypic and ecological distinctiveness from related species even in the face of substantial introgressive hybridization (e.g., mustelids, felids, bats; Li et al. 2019; Colella et al. 2021; Foley et al. 2024).”

The Results section (‘A link between introgression and swarming behavior?’; page unavailable) reports exceptionally pervasive introgression among distinct Myotis bat species, including species from divergent clades. It does not establish that those species retain phenotypic and ecological distinctiveness despite that introgression. The other mammal examples have separate citations and are not attributed to Foley et al. alone. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measured17% to 93% of the genomes of European Myotis bats apparently have introgressive origins, suggesting that many genomic regions can be freely exchanged as long as certain other regions are conserved, protecting the distinctiveness of a given species.
“Consistent with this finding is the observation that 17% to 93% of the genomes of European Myotis bats apparently have introgressive origins (Foley et al. 2024), suggesting that many genomic regions can be freely exchanged as long as certain other regions are conserved, protecting the distinctiveness of a given species.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
