Download or read book Mammalogy written by George A. Feldhamer and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2007-09-07 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Class Mammalia is amazingly diverse, ranging from whales to marsupials to bats to primates. The more than 5,400 species occupy many habitats, with mammals present on all the continents. They are rare only on Antarctica and a few isolated islands. Mammals present a complex set of conservation and management issues. Some species have become more numerous with the rise of human populations, while others have been extirpated or nearly so—such as the Caribbean monk seal, the thylacine, the Chinese river dolphin, and the Pyrenean ibex. In this new edition of their classic textbook, George A. Feldhamer and his colleagues cover the many aspects of mammalogy. Thoroughly revised and updated, this edition includes treatments of the most recent significant findings in ordinal-level mammalian phylogeny and taxonomy; special topics such as parasites and diseases, conservation, and domesticated mammals; interrelationships between mammalian structure and function; and the latest molecular techniques used to study mammals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dalton Rivers has owned the Bandicoots minor league team of Pickerville for the last several seasons. Mr. Rivers has decided that it was time for his oldest son, Wayne, to become the team's manager like he has always hoped for. Dalton Rivers also hopes for his son Quail to join the team as well, not for management or a position on the team's board but as a player. Quail played baseball growing up, but never wanted to play professionally. Instead, he dreamed of playing for the Bandicoots. This Christmas in Pickerville, the Rivers brothers are preparing for a season with the Bandicoots baseball team. Their father's farm also requires repairs, and Quail takes on the job of insulating the barn, promising to finish in two weeks. A Bandicoot Holiday provides a story full of holiday spirit. Meet the small-town family as they work on their farm, milking cows and maintaining the barn. Sherman E. Hister delightfully depicts the snow-covered countryside and the people who inhabit it. Will Quail finish the barn in the promised time? Can the Rivers brothers bring the Bandicoots to a winning season? Join the warm-hearted Rivers family, who love each other as much as they love the town they come from, as they strengthen their baseball team and stride to succeed.
