Biographie de Michel Barataud
Michel Barataud has spent many years of research working on bats, not only in Europe, but also in the Guianas and the Lesser Antilles. Over time, and with the help of technological progress, he has developed an efficient identification method and has disseminated his findings through many publications. As a passionate teacher, he has trained several hundred bat enthusiasts in ultrasound analysis and has motivated a vast network of naturalists.
Yves Tupinier, an expert and pioneer on bat sonar, is a life-long friend. His contribution to this book is a precious addition.
