High genetic variation, low differentiation, and Pleistocene expansions of the migratory and endangered long-nosed tequila bat, Leptonycteris nivalis, inferred using both maternal and paternal genetic markers.

High genetic variation, low differentiation, and Pleistocene expansions of the migratory and endangered long-nosed tequila bat, Leptonycteris nivalis, inferred using both maternal and paternal genetic markers.

Tequila bats (genus Leptonycteris) have gained attention for their critical role in pollinating different plant species, especially Agave spp. and columnar cacti.
