Résumé

This volume presents the first comprehensive, in-depth review of current knowledge concerning the reproductive biology of bats. The successful adaptive radiation of these mammals, which comprise almost a thousand species occurring world-wide, is marked by the evolution of an array of fascinating anatomical physiological specializations, many of which are unique to this Order. The reader is provided with a powerful database for future research through thorough reviews of the literature, insights into current research and the presentation of new data and ideas for continued investigation on a large number of topics relative to the anatomical, physiological, chronological and behavioral aspects of reproduction in bats, and environmental controls.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie d'Elizabeth-G Crichton

Phillip H. Krutzsch is Professor Emeritus, Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. He is known for his investigations and publications on many aspects of the reproductive biology of bats with particular emphasis on the anatomy and physiology of the male and on sperm storage. Elizabeth G. Crichton's lifetime fascination with reproductive 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 Zoo in Nebraska.
