A physiological foundation for studying bat life

Gerhard Neuweiler organizes bat biology through the systems that shape how these mammals function, alongside chapters on ecology and phylogeny. Echolocation receives sustained attention, placing a central research topic within a wider account of physiology, adaptation, and diversity. The geographic scope includes European, neotropical, and North American bats, giving the subject breadth beyond a single regional fauna. Designed as an accessible undergraduate text, the volume brings together a substantial body of bat research in a 310-page scientific overview.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Undergraduate students studying mammalogy, zoology, or animal physiology
  • Researchers seeking a broad reference on bat biology
  • Readers interested in echolocation, bat ecology, and phylogeny

Book overview

Well adapted to numerous habitats, bats comprise almost one quarter of all species of mammals. This book is a comprehensive introduction to their biology. Suitable as a textbook for undergraduates and written by one of the world's leading researchers, the book offers an accessible summary of the extensive body of research on bats. The book takes a broad physiological perspective and devotes separate chapters to specific physiological systems as well as to bat ecology and phylogeny. It features a thorough discussion of echolocation, which continues to be the subject of intense research, and describes many European and neotropical bats, as well as North American species. Biology of Bats is an important resource both for students and researchers.
