“…There are two overarching goals for this study. First, since pteropodids studied to date have a relatively unspecialized internal nasal morphology (Allen, 1882; Giannini et al, 2012; Starck, 1943), nasal capsule ontogeny in Rousettus may offer context to recognize developmental distinctions with more specialized bats, few of which have been studied ontogenetically to date (e.g., Myotis— Frick, 1954, as discussed in Zeller, 1987; Rhinolophus— Usui & Tikita, 2019). Second, in light of recent studies indicating postnatal plasticity of certain turbinals or parts of turbinals (Coppola, Craven, Seeger, & Weiler, 2014; Pang et al, 2016; Smith et al, 2007; Smith, Martell, Rossie, Bonar, & DeLeon, 2016; Van Valkenburgh et al, 2014), it may be possible to infer predominant mechanisms influencing internal nasal morphology that are specific to a certain life stage or contiguous stages.…”

Mammalian nasal capsule development has been described in only a few cross‐sectional age series, rendering it difficult to infer developmental mechanisms that influence adult morphology. Here we examined a sample of Leschenault's rousette fruit bats (Rousettus leschenaultii) ranging in age from embryonic to adult (n = 13). We examined serially sectioned coronal histological specimens and used micro‐computed tomography scans to visualize morphology in two older specimens. We found that the development of the nasal capsule in Rousettus proceeds similarly to many previously described mammals, following a general theme in which the central (i.e., septal) region matures into capsular cartilage before peripheral regions, and rostral parts of the septum and paries nasi mature before caudal parts. The ossification of turbinals also generally follows a rostral to the caudal pattern. Our results suggest discrete mechanisms for increasing complexity of the nasal capsule, some of which are restricted to the late embryonic and early fetal timeframe, including fissuration and mesenchymal proliferation. During fetal and early postnatal ontogeny, appositional and interstitial chondral growth of cartilage modifies the capsular template. Postnatally, appositional bone growth and pneumatization render greater complexity to individual structures and spaces. Future studies that focus on the relative contribution of each mechanism during development may draw critical inferences how nasal morphology is reflective of, or deviates from the original fetal template. A comparison of other chiropterans to nasal development in Rousettus could reveal phylogenetic patterns (whether ancestral or derived) or the developmental basis for specializations relating to respiration, olfaction, or laryngeal echolocation.

“…Most Insectivora have a similar structure [40]; (4) The nasal bones (os nasale) are clearly separated from one another in juvenile specimens but fused together in adult animals. In many Megachiroptera, the nasal bones remain free throughout their entire life, but, in some species, they form a single, unpaired nasal bone [3,[41][42][43][44]. The nasal bones are usually narrow and elongated in Megachiroptera, and wide and short in Microchiroptera [16,45].…”

Few studies analyze the morphology and anatomy of the bat skull, and most of them are incomplete. Some of the difficulties stem from the fact that, in the representatives of the order Chiroptera, the interosseous sutures disappear by fusing together before active flight begins, which takes place over only a few months. This study presents a detailed morphological and anatomical description of the skull of a juvenile specimen of Myotis myotis (Borkhausen, 1797). Juvenile skulls are difficult to preserve and often incomplete. Previously inconsistent terminology related to bones, sutures, and other cranial structures was unified, which will provide insight on the distribution of each structure in both juvenile and adult specimens to be investigated. The description fill in the gaps in knowledge about the cranial structures of Myotis myotis and the representatives of the family Vespertilionidae. This will allow for precise descriptions of the skulls of bats.
