Change "Most of the oldest known bat fossils were already very similar to modern microbats, such as Archaeopteropus (32 million years ago)." to "Most of the oldest known bat fossils were already very similar to modern microbats, such as Archaeopteropus (32 million years ago). The oldest known bat fossil is the Icaronycteris gunnelli (52 million years ago). The two sets of fossils were discovered in Wyoming." AAAAAA14 (talk) 13:35, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Thermoregulation subheading specifically cites Nowack, J.; Stawski, C.; Geiser, F. (2017) [1] in the first sentence as the source for information about the differential nature of heterothermy between bats. Whilst this citation is useful in the general context it doesn't specifically address this question at all, instead focusing on broadening our concept of the reasons for torpor instead!
A more appropriate source would instead be Stawski, Willis, & Geiser, 2014 [2] which has a table (Table 1) that summarises thermal physiology of bats by family. Skeletorfw (talk) 11:52, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
