Book Synopsis
The second largest order of mammals, Chiroptera comprises more than one thousand species of bats. Because of their mobility, bats are often the only native mammals on isolated oceanic islands, where more than half of all bat species live. This book focuses on the evolution, ecology, and conservation of bats living in the world's island ecosystems.

Trade Review
"Island Bats will be of great interest to ecologists, biogeographers, conservation biologists in general, and bat biologists in particular - especially those interested in the biology of island faunas. The new information presented in this book should stimulate the next generation of bat researchers to increase their efforts to protect and conserve these threatened faunas." - Thomas H. Kunz, editor of Bat Ecology"
