Designed to be a field guide, reference for the general public, and scientifically provocative for researchers, Bats of Puerto Rico: an island focus and a Caribbean perspective holds its own in all these categories. Three main sections make up two-thirds of the book and include descriptions of Puerto Rican ecosystems, a “primer” on the biology of bats, and detailed descriptions of 13 species of bats on Puerto Rico. The last one-third of the book comprises useful appendices that include keys to adult bats of Puerto Rico, a list of plants used as food by bats, average body measurements of bats, cranial measurements, ectoparasites of bats from Puerto Rico, chromosomal characters, technical and common names of plants and animals mentioned in the text, and a gazetteer with maps.
