| Although the eyes of most microbat species are small and poorly developed, leading to poor visual acuity, no species is blind. |
| Their eyesight, unlike that of their microbat relatives, is adapted to both night and daylight vision including some colour vision. |
| The molecular phylogeny of the Chiroptera is controversial, as it points to a microbat paraphyly, which implies that some seemingly unlikely transformations occurred. |
