Note(s) : Recent advances in the study of bats have changed the way we understand this illusive
group of mammals. This volume consist of 25 chapters and 57 authors from around the
globe all writing on the most recent finding on the evolution, ecology and conservation
of bats. The chapters are not intended to be exhaustive literature reviews, but instead
extended manuscripts that bring new and fresh perspectives. Many chapters consist
of previously unpublished data and are repetitive of new insights and understanding
in bat evolution, ecology and conservation. New perspectives are provided on many
aspects of bat biology, evolution, morphology, development, natural history, cognition
and behavior, emotions, formation flight, migration, dispersal to islands, emerging
viruses, white-nose syndrome, speciation, bats and the human dimension, educational
and conservation challenges, global monitoring, economic value, and the state of global
bat populations. This book will be of interest to students, professional biologists,
wildlife managers, conservationists, educators, environmental consultant, and anyone
else interested in the broad and rich array of topics brought to date in this volume
