Mammalogy: Adaptation, Diversity, Ecology


Mammalogy: Adaptation, Diversity, Ecology by George A. Feldhamer (Author), Lee C. Drickamer (Author), Stephen H. Vessey (Author), Joseph F. Merritt (Author), Carey Krajewski (Author). The Class Mammalia is amazingly various, starting from whales to marsupials to bats to primates. The more than 5, four hundred species occupy many habitats, with mammals current on all the continents. They are uncommon only in Antarctica and a few remote islands.

Mammals present a complex set of conservation and administration issues. Some species have change into more quite a few with the rise of human populations, whereas others have been extirpated or nearly so-such because the Caribbean monk seal, the thylacine, the Chinese language river dolphin, and the Pyrenean ibex.


In this new version of their classic textbook, George A. Feldhamer and his colleagues cover the many facets of Mammalogy. Completely revised and up to date, this edition consists of treatments of the most recent important findings in ordinal-degree mammalian phylogeny and taxonomy; particular subjects resembling parasites and illnesses, conservation, and domesticated mammals; interrelationships between mammalian structure and performance; and the most recent molecular strategies used to check mammals.

Instructors: electronic mail mammalogy@press.jhu.edu for a free teacher resource disc containing all 510 illustrations printed in Mammalogy: Adaptation, Variety, Ecology, third edition.

The ebook is sweet for the Mammalogy class I received this book for. I can't really complain. It's an ordinary bio guide that I was able to get used as a substitute of late, of which my collage was going to make me pay large for. Extremely recommend Amazon for used books! Makes the cost of collage a lot smaller!

This must be the best book of its kind and is one of the most attention-grabbing and informative books ever. It got to my house very quickly and in glorious condition.
