The best field guide to North American mammals The best-selling field guide that "sets new standards" (New Scientist) and "makes all other field guides for mammals of the United States. . . and Canada obsolete" (Journal of Mammalogy) is now even better. Covering 20 species recognized since 2002 and including 13 new color plates, this fully revised edition of Mammals of North America illustrates all 462 known mammal species in the United States and Canada—each in beautiful color and accurate detail. With a more up-to-date species list than any other guide, improved facing-page descriptions, easier-to-read distribution maps, updated common and scientific names, and track and scat illustrations, this slim, light, and easy-to-use volume is the must-have source for identifying North American mammals. Roland Kays and Don Wilson have scoured the technical literature to pull out the key differences between similar species, and illustrated these whenever possible, making the guide useful to amateur naturalists and professional zoologists alike. Casual animal watchers will appreciate the overview of mammal diversity and the tips on identifying animals they can spy in their binoculars, while scientists will appreciate the exacting detail needed to distinguish similar species, including illustrations of shrew teeth, bat toes, and whale dorsal fins. The best-illustrated and easiest-to-use field guide to North American mammals Beautiful and accurate color illustrations of all 462 mammals found in the United States and Canada—including 20 species recognized since 2002 112 color plates—including 13 new ones Key identification information—fully revised—on facing pages The most current taxonomy/species list Fully revised, easy-to-read range maps Illustrations of tracks, scat, and whale and dolphin dive sequences...

Hibernation and Torpor in Mammals and Birds explores the physiological factors that control hibernation and torpor in birds and mammals. This text covers topics ranging from metabolism in hibernation to the role of endocrines, respiration and acid-base state in hibernation, and theories of hibernation. This book is comprised of 14 chapters and begins with an overview of some clear-cut definitions and why mammals and birds hibernate. The reader is then introduced to the variations from euthermia that have been observed among birds and mammals. To give some structure to this listing, the approach is phylogenetic, starting with the birds and proceeding through the primitive to the more advanced mammals. Subsequent chapters explains the process of entering hibernation and the hibernating state, itself; capability of a species in natural hibernation to arouse from that state using self-generated heat; physiological changes at the start of a spontaneous arousal; and physiological mechanisms underlying the ability of hibernators to rewarm. Consideration is also given to intermediary metabolism in hibernation, cold adaptation of metabolism in hibernators, and the response of hibernators to various extrinsic influences such as neoplastic growth, radiation injury, and parasitism and symbionts. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in fields ranging from zoology to physiology and biophysics....

Excerpt from The Sense of Touch in Mammals and Birds: With Special Reference to the Papillary Ridges The following contribution to the study of the sense of touch in Mammals and Birds is based upon certain papers and exhibitions of specimens communicated to the Zoological Society of London, the Anatomical Society of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Journal of Anatomy and Physiology. The chief of these was read before the Zoological Society, but was not published in the Transactions. Two very extensive and important papers, one by Miss Inez L. Whipple, and another by Prof. O. Schlaginhaufen, had been published a very short time before my paper was read, and as these covered much the same ground, and as, not knowing of their existence, I had not discussed them, its publication became impossible without very great alterations and additions. It seemed better, therefore, to incorporate it with certain other microscopical studies of the skin-structures of the hand and foot in mammals, and make it a small introduction or anatomical basis for the consideration of the sense of touch. I have to thank the Editors of the Journal of Anatomy and Physiology for permission to reproduce certain illustrations, and the Prosector of the Zoological Society's Gardens for a large series of hands and feet of Mammals and feet of Birds, which were placed at my disposal for study. I also wish to thank Mr. R. I. Pocock for assistance he has given me, and for some valuable impressions taken from dead specimens of Anthropoid Apes, without which my series of impressions would have been incomplete.
