Bat Detectors
Examines rain forests in different tropical regions - including tropical Asia, tropical America, Africa, Madagascar, New Guinea and Australia - emphasizing their unique characteristics and ecology. Introduces the climate, biogeographic history and environment of tropical rain forests and chapters are devoted to plants, primates, other mammals, bird, canopy animals and insects. It also considers the impact of people on tropical forests and discusses conservation strategies that, based upon the characteristics of particular regions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, may prove more effective in preserving different forest ecosystems.
