Bats are the only true flying mammals and account for about a quarter of all mammal species. The Megochiroptera (flying foxes, fruit bats) are larger animals than the Microchiroptera which can be quite small, and the two groups have very different feeding habits. Zoologists are currently debating whether they are even closely related, thus creating a body of research as diverse as the bats themselves. This book covers many aspects of bat biology, including their evolutionary origins, roles in ecosystems, reproductive biology, foraging behaviour, hibernation, and genetics, all of which will interest both professional and amateur naturalists.

Recenzijos

Each paper is supported by copious references and the book should prove invaluable to students, researchers and bat enthusiasts. * Glasgow Naturalist, vol.23, part 2, May 1997 * '...this book is recommended to everybody who is interested in evolutionary, ecological, behavioural or conservation aspects, not just of bats but of mammals in general: I found it really stimulation to browse through the chapters and be inspired bu open questions, new facts, new ideas or new methods, and to find at least enough references to be able to initatie a much more detailed literature search.' * B.Konig, Zurich, J.Zool.Syst.Evol. Research 35 (1997) 151-152. *
