The social calls of bats are an area about which relatively little
is known, with more research still required to expand our
understanding. However, these calls are increasingly recognised as
a useful aid to identification: they appear to be species specific
and are indicative of behaviour – as in territorial activity of
males during the mating season. Because the gathering and
interpretation of bat echolocation data are a matter of course
during research, conservation and consultancy, it is a logical
progression to build momentum behind the consideration of social
calls in mainstream bat-related work. A better understanding of
this subject could mean that non-intrusive survey methods are
developed, ensuring that what is being observed is, as far as
possible, purely natural behaviour. In turn this will contribute to
better interpretation and more suitable mitigation, compensation
and/or enhancement solutions. The book summarises what is
understood so far about social calls of the bat species occurring
in Britain and Ireland, and north-west Europe. This new edition has
been updated and expanded throughout, now containing: foreword by
the bat authority Michel Barataud, author of Acoustic Ecology
of European Bats  almost double the number of figures
and tables as appeared in the first edition completely overhauled
call library, all in full spectrum format, with new additional
examples three entirely new chapters, covering bat-related
acoustics, settings for social interaction, and survey guidelines
The material will be useful to people carrying out bat studies, at
whatever level and for whatever purpose, and will also encourage
others to undertake further research. What's more, social calls are
fascinating to listen to: they are, after all, produced with
listeners in mind (other bats). In light of this, the book is
accompanied by an extensive downloadable library of sound files
which offer a unique gateway into the private life of bats.Â
