About this book
Reviews
“The collection overall provides an accessible and extensive survey of current topics in bat biology, and can serve as useful entry points into many of the topics presented. As a survey, this volume does an admirable job of balancing innovations and new areas of research with long-standing traditional fields. … As a fellow bat biologist, I found it nearly as fun and exciting to read as to be part of this vibrant community of scholars.” (Deanna G. P. Byrnes, Ecology, Vol. 96 (2), 2015)
“This text provides a close look at the many challenges facing bat biologists/conservationists and the various tools that future research may bring to bear on solving pressing problems in biology and conservation. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty.” (D. A. Brass, Choice, Vol. 51 (8), April, 2014)
