Abstract

This chapter covers all aspects of the biology of the pond bat, including its paleontology, physiology, genetics, reproduction and development, ecology, habitat, diet, mortality, and behavior. The economic significance and management of the pond bat as well as future challenges for research and conservation are also addressed. The chapter includes a distribution map, a photograph of the species, and a list of key literature.
