Fig. 6: High basal HSP levels is a shared characteristic across the Chiroptera order, spanning diverse suborders, families, and diets.

A Taxonomic tree generated from phyloTv2 with supplemented information of diet, family, sub-order and order from varying species of bats - Eonycteris spelaea, Penthetor lucasi, Cynopterus brachyotis, Hipposideros bicolor, Rhinolophus refulgens, Rhinolophus trifoliatus, Megaderma spasma, Pipistrellus javanicus, Tylonycteris sp. and Myotis horsfieldii. The species of bat used in experimental heating study, Eonycteris spelaea, is highlighted in red. B Photos taken of bats in the phylogenetic tree in (A) highlighting diverse morphological variation in Chiroptera order. Eonycteris spelaea photo was taken during a routine health check and other bat photos were taken post-mortem. C Western blot of HSP70 and HSP90 in in vivo muscle tissue of bats with mice samples used in the study. The species of bat used in experimental heating study, Eonycteris spelaea, is highlighted in red.
