captures many themes that echo throughout the book. The photograph shows a
southern long-nosed bat pollinating a saguaro cactus, which exemplifies the
complex interactions among many organisms. This bat is an endangered species,
and it depends on the copious quantities of nectar produced by the saguaro
cactus for its survival. The cactus, in turn, depends on the bats for
pollination, and thus reproduction. The two species have coevolved in a close
mutualistic association. In addition, the ability of bats to hover as they feed
on the nectar of the cactus is an excellent example of adaptation of body form
and physiology. These themes of adaptation, evolution, nutrition, reproduction,
species interactions, and integrated form and function are ideas that are
repeated throughout the chapters of<i><span style='font-style:italic'> Life</span></i>.
