China's breathtaking diversity of natural habitats--from
mountains and deserts to grasslands and lush tropical forests--is
home to more than 10 percent of the world's mammal species. This
one-of-a-kind pocket guide describes the characteristics,
geographic distribution, natural history, and conservation status
of all 558 species of mammals found in China. An up-to-date
distribution map accompanies each species account, and beautiful
color illustrations by wildlife artist Federico Gemma depict a
majority of the species. The definitive text is written by leading
specialists and follows the most current global standards for
mammalian systematics.
This field-ready pocket edition of A Guide to the Mammals of
China makes the rich mammal fauna of China accessible to

pocket guide to all of China's 558 mammal species Describes the
physical characteristics, geographic distribution, natural history,
and conservation status of every species Features up-to-date

Written by a team of leading specialists
Numbering 92 species worldwide, the order Lagomorpha is a focal
point of conservation efforts. Approximately one-quarter of all
lagomorphs are under conservation concern, and a few are quite
literally on the brink of extinction. Here, leading conservation
biologist Andrew T. Smith and his colleagues bring together the
world's lagomorph experts in the most comprehensive reference on
the order ever produced. With detailed species accounts-illustrated
with stunning color photos and up-to-date range maps-contributors
highlight key ecological roles that lagomorphs play and explain in
depth how scientists around the globe are working to save
vulnerable populations. Thematic introductory chapters cover a
broad spectrum of information about pikas, rabbits, and hares, from
evolution, systematics, and diseases to lagomorph conservation
status and management. Each animal account begins with the complete
scientific and common names for each species. A description of the
appearance and unique morphological characteristics is accompanied
by a range of standard measurements of adult specimens. Subsequent
sections discuss known paleontological data concerning the species,
the current state of its taxonomy and geographic variation, and
various aspects of the animal's biology. Aimed at naturalists,
professional biologists, and students, this book will also serve as
a valuable reference for those conducting biodiversity surveys and
conservation throughout the world.
