    We saved the best for last! Volume 9 completes the Handbook of Mammals of the World series, focusing on bats, the Chiroptera order.

    Our knowledge of bats has exploded in the past two decades, and all this information is reflected in this volume. The number of recognized species has increased by more than 400 during this time and continues to grow. Bats occupy nearly all habitats across six continents, and their ecology is incredibly diverse. Pollinators and seed dispersers of thousands of plant species, bats are crucial for maintaining tropical ecosystems.

    As always, the text includes up-to-date information on each species, with each one carefully illustrated. The family accounts include color photographs documenting a variety of behaviors of these fascinating mammals.
