Résumé : |
This illustrated checklist describes and illustrates every mammal species found in Madagascar, as well as those of the nearby Indian Ocean islands of the Comoros, the Seychelles, Réunion and Mauritius.
With an easy-to-use format that is very handy for the field, this new book enables visitors to see at a glance which species are present in the region, and gives pointers that will help towards their identification.
Covering the 253 mammal species (219 terrestrial, 34 marine) occurring naturally in Madagascar, as well as 13 others restricted to the neighbouring islands.
Texts for each species include common names in English and French; scientific names; conservation status according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species; the most relevant details about habitats occupied; and brief descriptive notes.
Each species account is accompanied by one or more illustrations and a distribution map.
Two separate sections deal with the land mammals of the neighbouring islands and mammals introduced to the region by humans.
Also included is a table of selected sites for observing mammals in Madagascar, together with a note of some of the highlight species for each site.
To further stimulate mammal life-listing, a complete checklist is provided, where you can mark the species that you personally have seen in the wild.
