Abstract: Molecular phylogeography has grown explosively during the last twenty-five years and has been a pioneering field in evolution and ecology. The Chiroptera are characterized by special phenotypic traits and ecological attributes. Phylogeographical studies can shed light on the population genetic status,patterns of geographical distribution and corresponding causes in bats. This study summarizes molecular phylogeographical research on Chinese bats,especially focusing on the species studied,the methods used,the focal topics and the results achieved. We also address future directions for the field.
