We sequenced the SMG transcriptomes of nine phyllostomid bats representing different subfamilies and different diets, and through analysis of orthologs characterized how selection on coding sequence and expression differences have shaped SMGs. Nine species from seven out of the 11 recognized subfamilies were chosen to maximize representation of the phylogenetic and dietary diversity of Phyllostomidae ( fig. After correcting for FDR, we found 53 genes where models of evolution allowing positive selection were significantly better fit to the data than neutrality in both M2a and M8 tests (supplementary table S2, Supplementary Material online). Moreover, given that some Golgi body-related genes appeared under selection in all branch-site tests, this organelle played some role in the adaptive radiation of phyllostomids.	./cache/cord-322286-2de6r1h6.txt	./txt/cord-322286-2de6r1h6.txt
