Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mammals of Pennsylvania and New Jersey: A Biographic, Historic and Descriptive Account of the Furred Animals of Land and Sea, Both Living and Extent, Known to Have Existed in These States; Designed as Both a Popular and Scientific Presentation of a Branch of Nature-Study Hitherto Unduly Neglect Job, the ancient divine and naturalist, asks, Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth or maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? Owing to the difficulty of making acquaintance with those beasts of the earth which we call Mammals, because of their nocturnal, subterranean or aquatic habits, the study of mammalogy has never been as popular as that of the fowls of heaven. It is, however, no less an interesting and profitable study and even yet furnishes the investigator, in spite of the great activity of the past decade in that branch, a far richer field for original zoological study than does ornithology. To man, himself a mammal, the importance of this study, especially as regards his physical, mental and spiritual relation ships to the beasts of the earth, cannot, perhaps, be overestimated. One of the most noticeable developments in biological research at the present day is along the line of geographic distribution. It has resulted in the solution of many vexed problems which the last century biologist vainly pondered. In the prosecution of this line of research much is discovered of an incidental character relating to the life-history of created things which has hitherto been hidden away. These are some of the facts which induced me, eleven years ago, to begin the work which forms the subject of this paper. In these studies I have been aided to a limited extent by the all too - meagre and often misleading faunal publications of previous authors. More substantial and valuable aid has been received by means of voluminous correspondence and personal interviews with naturalists, trappers, hunters, old pioneers and frontiersmen living in the regions named. The main source of information, however, has been personal field experience in nearly every county in the two states. The collections of Pennsylvania and New Jersey mammals, resulting from this work, and numbering about speci mens, have recently been acquired by the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. For the use of the unrivalled literary and museum facilities of this institution and the continued courtesy of its officers I am glad to have this opportunity to express my thankfulness.

Download or read book A Guide to the Mammals of the Southeastern United States written by Larry N. Brown and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is organized according to the various mammalian orders (insectivores, bats, pouched mammals, rabbits and hares, whales, and so on) under which the species accounts are given. Each species account contains concise information about identifying characteristics, geographical range, habitat, natural history, and additional factors such as longevity and economic significance. Complementing this text are more than two hundred illustrations, which include photographs, drawings, and range maps. An eight-page selection of color plates is an especially attractive feature of the book. In addition to the species accounts, the book's introductory sections are filled with fascinating general information on southeastern mammalogy: the study of mammals, mammal conservation, the southeastern region and mammal affinities, and the preservation of mammal specimens. A checklist of southeastern mammals, a key to the terrestrial orders, and a bibliography of selected references further enhance the usefulness of this guide.

This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of mammals (excluding bats) at Colonial National Historical Park (COLO) was conducted from 2003 to 2004 to document the presence of > 90% of the mammals in the park, describe their distributions and relative abundances, quantify habitat-specific species diversity, and provide recommendations for management and conservation. Surveys relied on live trapping with Sherman, Tomahawk, and pitfall traps for small to medium-size mammals, direct observation of individuals and their sign (e.g. tracks, scats), and remote photography. We identified nine principal habitats – field (grasslands, including old fields), mixed coniferousdeciduous forest, pine forest, deciduous forest, forested wetland, field/mixed forest edge, marsh/mixed forest edge, wetland (marsh and swamp), and golden bamboo – and targeted locations for sampling.

We identified two principal habitats – grassland (fields) and deciduous forest – and less expansive tracts of mixed deciduous-coniferous forest, wind-disturbed deciduous forest, and additional targeted locations for sampling.
