Bats, The Familiar Yet Mysterious Rulers Of The Night. | Evolution Story
Based on fossil records, morphology, and molecular biology evidence, bats (Chiroptera) can be divided into three groups: bats that emit ultrasound using their mouths (Yangochiroptera), bats that do not use echolocation (Pteropodoidea), and bats that emit ultrasound using their noses (all other bats, which are closely related to Pteropodoidea and may represent a paraphyletic group).
There are three potential hypotheses about their evolutionary relationships (these are my own summaries and may not be entirely accurate, but they serve as a starting point for discussion):
Non-Echolocating Ancestor Hypothesis:
Bats originated from a common ancestor capable of flight but not echolocation. This anc...

Sauropterygia Evolution Story

In the Mesozoic era, Sauropterygia, a unique group of marine reptiles, thrived despite challenges. From the cautious Lariosaurus to the elite Pistosauroidea, they evolved diverse forms, adapting to harsh environments.

Emerging as Sphenosuchia survivors in the Triassic, over 200 million years, they evolved into Crocodylomorpha, facing shifts from terrestrial to marine habitats. Thalattosuchia's oceanic attempt saw struggles against competitors. Sebecosuchia briefly dominated South America, but climate changes led to extin...

      That's just a metaphorical writing technique to help non-professionals understand the role of imaginal discs in the transformation from larvae to adult insects. I specifically recommend you look at these two books: "The Development of Drosophila melanogaster": This book details the development process of fruit flies, including the formation and function of imaginal discs. Gilbert, S.F. (2013). "Developmental Biology," 10th edition. Sunderland (MA): Sinauer Associates. This book has a chapter dedicated to insect metamorphosis and imaginal discs.

      Regarding cartilaginous fish, there's another video. In the evolutionary process, ray-finned fish indeed have a lineage that closely mimicked cartilaginous fish, which is the Chondrostei, or as you mentioned, sturgeon. However, they survived less , so I didn't specifically mention them. They are indeed not cartilaginous fish but could be considered masters of mimicry.

      While it's an intriguing hypothesis, there isn't currently sufficient evidence to support the idea.

Not only that, some of their Permian representatives, like Meganeuropsis, were just as large as their Carboniferous ancestors, even though the oxygen level was much lower and other land dwelling arthropods were accordingly smaller. They had to have had some way to maintain that size, though to my knowledge paleontologists still haven’t figured out how they did it.
