Bats in the Anthropocene: Conservation of Bats in a Changing World

This book summarizes major topics related to the conservation of bats. The chapters explore the response of bats to land use change; how the emergence of viral and fungal diseases has changed bat populations and our perception of bats; and drivers of human-bat conflicts and possible resolutions and mitigation. The book ends with approaches that might advance bat conservation through conservation networks and a better understanding of human behaviour and behavioural change.
