    Rövid leírás:

    With more than 1,400 species, bats are an incredibly diverse and successful group of mammals that can serve as model systems for many unique evolutionary adaptations. Flight has allowed them to master the sky, while echolocation enables them to navigate in the dark. Being small, secretive, nocturnal creatures has made bats a challenge to study, but over the past 50 years, innovative research has made it possible to dispel some of the mystery and myth surrounding them to give us a better understanding of the role these animals play in the ecosystem.

    The structure of the book is based on several broad themes across the biological sciences, including the evolution of bats, their ecology and behavior, and conservation of biodiversity. Within these themes are more specific topics on important aspects of bat research, such as morphology, molecular biology, echolocation, taxonomy, systematics, threats to bats, social structure, reproduction, movements, and feeding strategies.

    Given its scope, the book will appeal to the wider scientific community, environmental organizations, and government policymakers who are interested in the interdisciplinary aspects of biology and nature.

    ?This volume will be of interest to mammalogists and anyone else who works with bats ? . As a bat researcher who has attended NASBR meetings for 30 years, I found this volume both fascinating and humbling. It will be a delight to seasoned bat biologists but, more importantly, it will provide an inspirational introduction for younger researchers interested in bat biology. It belongs on the bookshelf of anyone who works with bats?or thinks that they might want to.? (Nancy B. Simmons, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 97 (3), September, 2022)
