Mammals of Mexico is the first reference book in English on the
more than 500 types of mammal species found in the diverse Mexican
habitats, which range from the Sonoran Desert to the Chiapas cloud
forests. The authoritative species accounts are written by a Who's
Who of experts compiled by famed mammalogist and conservationist
Gerardo Ceballos. Ten years in the making, Mammals of Mexico covers
everything from obscure rodents to whales, bats, primates, and
wolves. It is thoroughly illustrated with color photographs and
meticulous artistic renderings, as well as range maps for each
species. Introductory chapters discuss biogeography, conservation,
and evolution. The final section of the book illustrates the
skulls, jaws, and tracks of Mexico's mammals. This unparalleled
collection of scientific information on, and photographs of,
Mexican wildlife belongs on the shelf of every mammalogist, in
public and academic libraries, and in the hands of anyone curious
about Mexico and its wildlife.
Ranked as one of the world's most important ecosystems, the
Campeche rainforest covers more than seven million acres of
southeast Mexico and Belize, and contains more than 2,000 plants
species and 350 species of bird. This volume documents the region
in 100 color photographs, scientific tables, maps and
contextualizing essays.
