Question

A 2013 study of the genomes of these organisms grouped them into two suborders named for yin and yang. (10[1])These organisms are the original reservoir of the Marburg virus. Infection of these organisms by the fungus Pseudo·gymno·ascus (10[1])destructans is the source of white-nose syndrome. (10[3])A dampened inflammation response could explain why these animals can survive rabies. A species of these mammals (-5[2])that consume blood (10[1])is known as their (10[1])“vampire” type. During winter, many of these animals hibernate in caves while hanging upside-down. For 10 points, name this order (10[2])of mammals which evolved the ability to fly. ■END■
