The Reproductive Biology of Bats presents the first comprehensive, in-depth review of the current knowledge
and supporting literature concerning the behavior, anatomy, physiology and reproductive strategies of bats. These
mammals, which occur world-wide and comprise a vast assemblage of species, have evolved unique and successful reproductive
strategies through varied anatomical and physiological specialization. These are accompanied by individual and/or
group behavioral interactions, usually in response to environmental mechanisms essential to their reproductive
success.
