Book Description
Indian short nosed fruit bat, Cynopterus sphinx, is one of the common fruit bat among Pteropodidae family, which is commonly distributed throughout Indian subcontinent. Cynopterus sphinx is having some unique morphological characteristics such as dog shaped head, divergent nostril, large, prominent eyes and short ears with white margin. In males, the chin, anterior part of the shoulder, sides of the chest, belly and thighs are characteristically orange tinted. In females, the color is usually tawny brown; the rump is gray brown with paler gray belly. Both the first and second fingers have distinct claws, rostrum short two pairs of lower and upper incisors present. Dorsal fur is yellowish brown, ventral fur is darker than dorsal fur.

50 Years of Bat Research
Author: Burton K. Lim
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030547272
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
With more than 1,400 species, bats are an incredibly diverse and successful group of mammals that can serve as model systems for many unique evolutionary adaptations. Flight has allowed them to master the sky, while echolocation enables them to navigate in the dark. Being small, secretive, nocturnal creatures has made bats a challenge to study, but over the past 50 years, innovative research has made it possible to dispel some of the mystery and myth surrounding them to give us a better understanding of the role these animals play in the ecosystem. The structure of the book is based on several broad themes across the biological sciences, including the evolution of bats, their ecology and behavior, and conservation of biodiversity. Within these themes are more specific topics on important aspects of bat research, such as morphology, molecular biology, echolocation, taxonomy, systematics, threats to bats, social structure, reproduction, movements, and feeding strategies. Given its scope, the book will appeal to the wider scientific community, environmental organizations, and government policymakers who are interested in the interdisciplinary aspects of biology and nature.

Systematics, Evolution, and Biogeography of Compositae
Author: Vicki Ann Funk
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Compositae
Languages : en
Pages : 1008
Book Description
"This spectacular book does full justice to the Compositae (Asteraceae), the largest and most successful flowering plant family with some 1700 genera and 24,000 species. It is an indispensable reference, providing the most up-to-date hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships in the family based on molecular and morphological characters, along with the corresponding subfamilial and tribal classification. The 2009 work not only integrates the extensive molecular phylogenetic analyses conducted in the last 25 years, but also uses these to produce a metatree for about 900 taxa of Compositae. The book contains 44 chapters, contributed by 80 authors, covering the history, economic importance, character variation, and systematic and phylogenetic diversity of the family. The emphasis of this work is phylogenetic; its chapters provide a detailed, current, and thoroughly documented presentation of the major (and not so major) clades in the family, citing some 2632 references. Like the Compositae, the book is massive, diverse, and fascinating. It is beautifully illustrated, with 170 figures, and an additional 108 cladograms (all consistently color-coded, based on the geographic range of the included taxa); within these figures are displayed 443 color photographs, clearly demonstrating the amazing array of floral and vegetative form expressed by members of the clade." --NHBS Environment Bookstore.

Bat Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation
Author: Rick A. Adams
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461473977
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 549
Book Description
Recent advances in the study of bats have changed the way we understand this illusive group of mammals. This volume consist of 25 chapters and 57 authors from around the globe all writing on the most recent finding on the evolution, ecology and conservation of bats. The chapters in this book are not intended to be exhaustive literature reviews, but instead extended manuscripts that bring new and fresh perspectives. Many chapters consist of previously unpublished data and are repetitive of new insights and understanding in bat evolution, ecology and conservation. All chapters were peer-reviewed and revised by the authors. Many of the chapters are multi-authored to provide comprehensive and authoritative coverage of the topics.
