Mammals

edited by David Macdonald / Andrew Loveridge

Begins with a complete account of all 36 felid species. Following chapters then span all the topics most relevant to felid conservation science, including evolution and systematics, felid form and function, genetic applications, behavioural ecology, management of species that come into conflict with people and control of international trade in felid species, conservation tools and techniques, ex situ management and felid diseases. 19 detailed case studies then delve deeply into syntheses of the very best species investigations worldwide. Line and halftone illustrations, 784pp. 2010

With contributions from over twenty prominent marine mammal researchers, this book takes an integrated look at the biology of marine carnivores, cetaceans and sirenians. Comparisons are made between individual marine mammals and with terrestrial mammals providing a framework for basic biological and ecological concepts. Apart from discussion on all aspects of biology, the book also includes information on marine toxicants and their possible effect on the animals. Black and white photographs and line illustrations, 896pp. 1999

Knowledge of bat echolocation, calls and identification has grown significantly in the last decade. This practical guide presents the latest data in a clear and concise manner. Part 1 covers topics such as the properties of sound; how bats use sound; bat detection methods; recording devices; analysis software; recording techniques and call analysis. Part 2 comprises the species chapters. with information on distribution, emergence times, flight and foraging behaviour habitat and echolocation including parameters for common measurements. Calls are described in the context of the different technologies used. Sonograms, distribution maps, 192pp. 2012
