A Natural History of Bat Foraging: Evolution, Physiology, Ecology, Behavior, and Conservation is a comprehensive resource that delves into every facet of the essential process of bat foraging. The book explores a wealth of knowledge in the field, encompassing sensory ecology, the development of cognitive maps, bat microbiomes, and molecular approaches to studying bat diets. It covers the significance of foraging in biology, ranging from evolution and natural selection to physiology, behavior, ecology, and natural history. Moreover, it provides a distinctive focus on the implications of bat foraging for conservation purposes, including the role that molecular biology can play in preventing species depletion or extinction. With over 1,400 species, bats are among the most diverse vertebrate groups, having evolved an astonishingly broad range of foraging strategies to adapt to nearly all global regions and environments. The book assesses the manmade and environmental challenges that bats must overcome to ensure survival and prevent extinction. Written by international leaders in bat research, this is an ideal resource for bat specialists, conservationists, zoologists, animal behaviorists, and academics associated with such disciplines.
