This project includes CT scans on bat feet generated for the following manuscript: Stanchak, K. E., Arbour, J. H. and Santana, S. E. (2019), Anatomical diversification of a skeletal novelty in bat feet. Evolution, 73: 1591-1603. doi:10.1111/evo.13786 In this study, we found much anatomical variation in the calcar, an additional skeletal element in bat feet that articulates with the calcaneus. These scans demonstrate the extent of skeletal diversity in the bat ankle region.
