Bat Biology and Conservation
Presenting recent research and synthetic reviews by more than thirty-five of the world's leading authorities on bats, Bat Biology and Conservation discusses bat phylogeny and evolution, functional morphology, echolocation, and conservation biology. Several contributors focus on long-standing problems in bat systematics and illustrate the value of well-substantiated phylogenetic hypotheses for understanding diverse biological patterns. Others emphasize the importance of investigating both form and function and consider how morphological and ecological constraints influence flight, mastication, and the sensory systems used in echo-location. Still others consider the conservation status of bats in most regions of the world and discuss the protection of both roosting and foraging habitats. By Thomas H. Kunz (Editor), Paul A. Racey (Editor). 1998. Hardcover, 384pp. A limited number of new books are currently available.
