Book The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals

Download or read book The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals written by Bo Beolens and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2009-09-28 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just who was the Przewalski after whom Przewalski's horse was named? Or Husson, the eponym for the rat Hydromys hussoni? Or the Geoffroy whose name is forever linked to Geoffroy's cat? This unique reference provides a brief look at the real lives behind the scientific and vernacular mammal names one encounters in field guides, textbooks, journal articles, and other scholarly works. Arranged to mirror standard dictionaries, the more than 1,300 entries included here explain the origins of over 2,000 mammal species names. Each bio-sketch lists the scientific and common-language names of all species named after the person, outlines the individual's major contributions to mammalogy and other branches of zoology, and includes brief information about his or her mammalian namesake's distribution. The two appendixes list scientific and common names for ease of reference, and, where appropriate, individual entries include mammals commonly -- but mistakenly -- believed to be named after people. The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals is a highly readable and informative guide to the people whose names are immortalized in mammal nomenclature.

Download or read book Revision of the Pocket Gophers of the Genus Thomomys Classic Reprint written by Vernon Bailey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Revision of the Pocket Gophers of the Genus Thomomys Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith for publication as North American Fauna no. 39, a revision of the pocket gophers of the genus Thomomys, by Vernon Bailey, chief field naturalist of the Biological Survey. Pocket gophers are burrowing rodents which in pursuit of food and in running tunnels often damage crops, young trees, and irriga tion ditches. Moreover, the heaps of earth ejected from the tunnels not only cover more vegetation than the animals eat, but also obstruct the operation of mowing machines. Gopher burrows frequently penetrate and cut through irrigation-ditch banks, and the escaping water becomes a menace to agriculture and sometimes to human life. The animals are thus of considerable economic importance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
