LES CHAAUVES SOURIS of France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland - 3rd edition:


Due to the interest that scientists have in them, knowledge of these species has greatly progressed over the past two decades, in particular thanks to progress in bioacoustics. With this book, Laurent Arthur and Michèle Lemaire, two bat specialists, offer a fully updated update of their book.

36 species are present from France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland.

Each is the subject of a detailed monograph with description, sound emission (sonograms), ecology, biological rhythm, conservation, knowledge of the populations (distribution map)... The curious reader will also find in the general chapters information on paleontology, the diversity of bats across the continents, the biogeography of European species, the biology of bats, the relationships that man has with these species.

Chapters dedicated to identification are proposed for visual recognition and by studying their acoustic signals.

This new edition has been completely updated. Much information from recent sightings has been added and the distribution maps have been updated by a regional network of bats from across the area covered by the book. About fifty new photographs also illustrate the book.
