The dichotomous presentation is both easy to follow and flawlessly compiled, including updated and expanded material that surpasses any previously available resource. Hundreds of diagnostic images are dispersed throughout the book, many showing minute details that differentiate one species from another, and introductory materials carefully explain the use of diagnostic features. The heart of the book, though, is the keys themselves, which cover every taxa—from artiodactyls and carnivores to primates and rodents—while allowing confident identification at the species level for both field and museum use. The book closes with appendices that cover preparation of specimens, a glossary, and a bibliography. Anyone with an interest in the mammalian fauna of Mexico, or mammals in general, will find this one-of-a-kind book an indispensable reference to Mexico’s rich diversity of wildlife.
Download or read book Amphibians and Reptiles of Baja California Including Its Pacific Islands and the Islands in the Sea of Cort s written by L. Lee Grismer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002-09-16 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baja California peninsula is home to many forms of life found nowhere else on earth. This, combined with the peninsula's rugged and inaccessible terrain, has made the area one of the last true biological frontiers of North America. L. Lee Grismer is not only the foremost authority on the amphibians and reptiles of Baja California, but also an outstanding photographer. He has produced the most comprehensive work on the herpetofauna of the peninsula and its islands ever published. With its stunning color images, detailed accounts of many little-known species, and descriptions of the region's diverse environment, this is the definitive guide to the amphibians and reptiles of a fascinating and remote region. The culmination of Grismer's quarter century of fieldwork on the Baja peninsula and his exploration of more than one hundred of its islands in the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortés, this book gives information on the identification, distribution, natural history, and taxonomy of each species of amphibian and reptile found there. Preliminary accounts of the life history of many of the salamanders, frogs, toads, turtles, lizards, and snakes are reported here for the first time, and several species that were almost unknown to science are illustrated in full color. The book also contains new data on species distribution and on the effect of the isolated landscape of the peninsula and its islands on the evolutionary process. Much of the information gathered here is presented in biogeographical overviews that consider the extremely varied environments of Baja California in both a contemporary and a historical framework. An original and important contribution to science, this book will generate further research for years to come as it becomes a benchmark reference for both professionals and amateurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El venado cola blanca (Odocoileus virginianus) es un animal silvestre que habita prácticamente en todo el Continente Americano. En México, prácticamente en todo el país, excepto en la Península de Baja California. Tiene alrededor de 500,000 años en su forma actual y 20 millones de evolución. Económicamente, es considerado el trofeo de cacería mayor más importante en todo el mundo. Presenta dimorfismo sexual al mostrar diferencias de forma, coloración y tamaño entre machos y hembras. Tiene hábitos crepusculares, pueden encontrarse en grupos de 2 a 6 y hasta 15 individuos. Tiene un órgano conocido como vomeronasal. Es un órgano auxiliar del sentido del olfato que le da al venado un sexto sentido y que es usado principalmente durante el apareamiento, para detectar sustancias secretadas por las hembras. Tiene hígado, pero no tiene vesícula biliar. Su carne es magra y bajo contenido de colesterol. Es rumiante y herbívoro. Forrajea la vegetación para consumir hojas, brotes, frutos y semillas, así como hongos. El hábitat se encuentra prácticamente en todos los hábitats, siempre que estos le proporcionen suficiente refugio y alimento. No es común en las partes más secas y abiertas del matorral xerófilo ni en las partes más densas y húmedas del bosque tropical perennifolio. Los microbios en el rumen, además de que sintetizan las vitaminas hidrosolubles del complejo B y la K que es liposoluble, hacen posible que el venado obtenga nutrientes que no son disponibles a los animales no rumiantes y convierten nitrógeno no proteico a proteína bacteriana, rica en aminoácidos.
Download or read book Ecological Regions of North America written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a first attempt at holistically classifying and mapping ecological regions across all three countries of the North American continent. A common analytical methodology is used to examine North American ecology at multiple scales, from large continental ecosystems to subdivisions of these that correlate more detailed physical and biological settings with human activities on two levels of successively smaller units. The volume begins with an overview of North America from an ecological perspective, concepts of ecological regionalization. This is followed by descriptions of the 15 broad ecological regions, including information on physical and biological setting and human activities. The final section presents case studies in applications of the ecological characterization methodology to environmental issues. The appendix includes a list of common and scientific names of selected species characteristic of the ecological regions.

Travelling to the Costa Brava with his long-ignored girlfriend, Ingeborg, there they meet another vacationing German couple, Charly and Hanna, and a band of shady locals.
