Phylogeographic analyzes revealed that most species showed strong structuring between West Africa and Central Africa, with the exception of four species with better dispersal abilities: Hypsignathus monstrosus, thanks to its large size; Epomophorus gambianus, Micropteropus pusillus and Nanonycteris veldkampii, because of their adaptation to savanna. Our results showed that different species Epomophorinae, including reservoirs of Ebola virus, have evolved differently to climate change Plio-Pleistocene.
Uchambuzi Phylogeographic umebaini kuwa wengi aina ilionyesha nguvu jinsia kati ya Afrika Magharibi na Afrika ya Kati, na ubaguzi wa aina nne na uwezo bora kusambaa: Hypsignathus monstrosus, shukrani kwa ukubwa wake kubwa; Epomophorus gambianus, Micropteropus pusillus na Nanonycteris veldkampii, kwa sababu ya kukabiliana na hali yao ya savanna . Matokeo yetu ilionyesha kuwa aina mbalimbali Epomophorinae, ikiwa ni pamoja na hifadhi ya virusi vya Ebola, utvecklats tofauti na mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa Plio-Pleistocene .
