摘要: Publisher Summary Bats exhibit considerable diversity in their reproductive characteristics. These are of interest and importance for several reasons. Because many bat species both small abundant, it is feasible to collect specimens exhibiting major states conduct thorough comparative investigations. The latter can, turn, provide insights into how why particular characteristics may have evolved. This would be much more difficult or impossible with other mammalian groups (for example, primates) because animal cost and/or availability problems. can a perspective on the evolution reproduction that one might trouble acquiring through studies unrelated rodents within common but less diversified orders. A better knowledge bats reproduce important proper management rescue wild populations increasingly threatened by human activities, successful propagation captive zoological parks educational purposes. Finally, specializations which sometimes either uniquely similar those primates unusual when compared operative commonly studied mammals.
