Bat patagia development is under the control of genes known to regulate epidermal epithelium. A Scanning electron microscopy right lateral images of the trunk region in Carollia, showing the development of the bat wing from St14. B, C Multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis of gene expression showing clustering of each tissue (B) and developmental stage (C). D Differential expression between St14 and St16 of plagiopatagia in each species sampled. E Common differentially expressed genes in both Pteronotus and Erophylla. F HCR In situ hybridization of Tmef2, Ripk4, and Kfl4 in Pteronotus and Erophylla at St14 and St16. Boxes in A indicates region shown in F. FL—forelimb; HL—hindlimb; P—plagiopatagium; U—uropatagium
