Beschreibung

The present handbook falls into two parts. The first deals with the general biology of mammals and is designed to bring both zoologists and naturalists up to date with the flood of work on mammals which has been carried out, and to describe the problems and techniques with which this work is concerned. A special effort has been made to relate the British fauna and the work done upon it to the broader background of mammal studies in Europe and throughout the world. The second part presents a compressed account in systematic order of the British mammal fauna. Each order has an introductory section, followed by a brief description of field identification characters leading to a full treatment of each species unter the headings: Distribution, Description, Measurements, Habitat, General Habits, Breeding, Population, Food, Predators and Relations with Men. Oxford. Blackwell Scientific Publications. 465 pp., 60 b/w photos, 55 figs, colth bound gr. 8 [14.5 x 22.7 cm] [with dust jacket]. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers W37200
