Synopsis
The first book to describe and illustrate every mammal species found in Madagascar. Also includes those of the nearby islands of the Comoros, the Seychelles, Réunion and Mauritius.
This illustrated checklist covers Madagascar, one of the highest-priority Biodiversity Hotspots on our planet given the amazing diversity of its flora and fauna and its long list of extraordinary endemic species. Small though the island is in a global context, it is considered to be one of the world's four major regions for primates, most notably for its more than 100 endemic species of lemur. Given Madagascar's globally unique biodiversity, and the relative ease with which it can be seen and enjoyed, it should be one of the world's premier ecotourism destinations.
Although not a traditional field guide, Mammals of Madagascar will equip both residents and visitors to the region with an easy-to-use resource that will allow them to quickly learn about the 253 species of mammals known to occur in the area.
- 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 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 across the region, together with a note of some of the highlight species for each site.
- Convenient checklists are provided for Madagascar and each island group, where you can mark the species you have seen.

Seller: Agapea Libros, Malaga, MA, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. Este checklist ilustrado cubre Madagascar, uno de los principales hotspots de biodiversidad del mundo, famoso por su asombrosa fauna y flora y especialmente por la gran cantidad de extraordinarias especies endémicas. Madagascar se encuentra también entre las cuatro regiones principales del mundo de primates, ya que cuenta con 112 especies y subespecies endémicas de lémures. Este libro está destinado a facilitar el ecoturismo de Madagascar, un país de biodiversidad única que puede ser observada y disfrutada con relativa facilidad, Es una herramienta fácil de usar, tanto residentes como visitantes de la región, que permite conocer rápidamente los 253 mamíferos terrestres y marinos que pueden encontrar. Cuenta con la información más actualizada de los mamíferos de la zona a la que le acompaña una ilustración de todas las especies y subespecies de Madagascar y de las islas cercanas del Océano Índico: las Comoras, las Seychelles, la Reunión y Mauricio. Este libro forma parte de la colección Lynx Illustrated Checklists, creada a partir del ingente material recopilado para la serie del Handbook of the Mammals of the Word y que se ha sintetizado en prácticos libros para la visita a un destino específico. La geografía colombiana es extremadamente diversa: de este a oeste se extiende desde el río Orinoco hasta el Océano Pacífico y de norte a sur desde el Caribe hasta las cabeceras de la cuenca amazónica. Los Andes están conformados por tres cadenas montañosas principales separadas por los valles del Cauca y del Magdalena. En el norte se encuentran dos grandes sierras, la de Santa Marta y la del Perijá, siendo la primera uno de los principales puntos calientes (hotsposts) del mundo para la observación de aves endémicas. En los últimos años, las rutas habituales para la observación de aves del país han ido evolucionando, focalizándose en las zonas protegidas tanto de propiedad privada como pública, permitiendo así la observación de casi todas las aves endémicas de Colombia, desde loros y colibríes con extravagantes plumajes hasta los furtivos gralláridos. En Sudamérica, no hay mejor lugar que Colombia para escapar de los caminos trillados y descubrir cosas nuevas, como lo demuestra el reciente hallazgo de un grallárido aparentemente nuevo cerca de la ciudad de Cali. 1965 especies; 94 endémicas, 101 casi endémicas, 4 introducidas, 42 accidentales. Más de 3600 ilustraciones y más de 2000 mapas de distribución. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
