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.
- Is the first book devoted to the reproductive biology of bats
- Contains in-depth reviews of the literature concerned with bat reproduction
- Contributors are widely recognized specialists
- Provides a powerful database for future research
Libraries of academic institutions and natural history museums; faculty, undergraduate and graduate students in biology, physiology, anatomy, ecology and evolutionary biology; conservation and ecological research institutions and field stations; bat rehabitators, naturalists and mammalogists

Elizabeth G. Crichton
Elizabeth G. Crichton's lifetime fascination with the reproduction processes in bats is reflected in her many publications which describe the chronology of cycles in many North American and Australian species and also address the physiology of selected unique adaptations such as delayed implantation, delayed development and sperm storage. She is currently the Reproductive Physiology Lab Manager at the Center for Conservation and Research, Omaha's Henry Doorly Zooin Nebraska.
