Table S1 - Evidence for Repeated Independent Evolution of Migration in the Largest Family of Bats

Classification of character states for Vespertilionidae. We classified vespertilionid bats as either non-migratory (0), short distance migrant (1), and long distance migrant (2) according to the distinctions described in Fleming and Eby (8). Each species were further classified according to tropical (0) or temperate (1) species and roosting ecology (0 = tree, 1 = cave/building) as indicated by (8), by Animal Diversity Web (http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/index.html), and by Grizimek's Encyclopedia of Mammals.
