Bats: Their Biology and Behavior

Description:

In this illuminating introduction to the world of bats, Tony Hutson reveals the secrets of these extraordinary creatures.

Beginning with their anatomy, Hutson explores how bats' unique characteristics have enabled them to evolve to fill a wide variety of habitats and niches. He examines their different life cycles, dietary strategies, migration patterns, and unique feats of echolocation. And he also discusses their predators, parasites, the man-made threats to their ecosystem, and how the viruses harbored by bats can have an impact on humans.

Bats also features an appendix of bat families that details the number of genera and species and their distribution and diet.

Review

I expect that many readers will be enthralled by the photographs that may give thema new view of nocturnal mammals that can be difficult to observe. Hutson has provided an excellent read about bats. This book belongs on the shelves of bat biologists everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL overview; any nature lover will love this

V.C.L. · February 29, 2024

I had a very narrow need: learn enough about bats to create aliens with some of their characteristics (flying foxes, specifically). but WOW - I devoured the entire book. Written by a real biologist but without unnecessary or unexplained jargon, this comprehensive guide covers every aspect of their feeding, their escape from predators, how/why they hibernate, how they are coping with less forest and more buildings (abandoned castles, etc. are now harboring a lot of wildlife!), how they reproduce, how they migrate - and how they are NOT birds! Different lineages, different underlying biology and metabolism.I could not put it down. So fascinating, my Pteropus that I came for and much, much more!Very highly recommended, for anyone interested in nature, not necessarily bats.
