Michael R. Gannon Professor of Biology

Book Title: Bats of Puerto Rico

Author: M. R. Gannon, A. Kurta, A. Rodriguez-Duran, and M. R. Willig

Selection Statement:

I chose this book, Bats of Puerto Rico, an Island Focus and a Caribbean Perspective, because it reflects much of the research I performed while a faculty member at the Penn State Altoona College over the last 14 years. The work it encompasses has given my students and me the opportunity to live and work in a unique locality within Latin America and the Caribbean, and to contribute to our knowledge of ecology and biodiversity of that region.
