This revised edition of a book first published in 2010 supplements the original account of the
116 bat species then known to be found in Southern and Central Africa with an additional …

Genetic divergence in bat communities was assessed on both sides of the Straits of Gibraltar
and cryptic diversity was examined. Screening was carried out using partial sequences of …

One of the most widely distributed bats in the New World, the big brown bat (Eptesicus
fuscus) exhibits well‐documented geographic variation in morphology and life history traits …

Bats are prodigious consumers of agricultural and forest pests, and are, therefore, a natural
asset for agricultural productivity, suppressing populations of such pests. This study provides …

Animals modify their behaviours and interactions in response to changing environments. In
bats, environmental adaptations are reflected in echolocation signalling that is used for …

Bats are among the most diverse, widespread, and abundant mammals. In Argentina, 67
species of bats have been recorded, belonging to 5 families and 29 genera. These high …

More species of nocturnal primates are now recognized than in the past, because many are
cryptic species. Subtle morphological disparities, such as pelage pattern and color variation …

The genus Scotophilus contains 21 currently recognized species ranging throughout Africa
and Southeast Asia. Among the 13 species recognized from continental Africa, systematic …

Phenotypes of distantly related species may converge through adaptation to similar habitats
and/or because they share biological constraints that limit the phenotypic variants produced …
