Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris , MNHN, 2014. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Broché cousu. Format 24,7 x 18 cm ( 1835 gr ). ------- 841 pages richement illustrées de photos et cartes couleurs. ************************* Madagascar, véritable laboratoire de l'évolution pour la faune et la flore, est le 2e pays au monde en matière de diversité de primates (bien qu'il représente moins de 70 % de la surface du premier pays, le Brésil) avec 98 espèces endémiques. C'est aussi un pays fragile dont les richesses naturelles s'érodent très rapidement. Ainsi, en 2012, l'UICN a révélé une hausse dramatique du nombre de lémuriens menacés d'extinction. Avec 15 % des espèces et sous-espèces de primates connus au monde, 20 % des genres et 36 % des familles, la responsabilité du pays en termes de conservation n'en est que plus grande. D'un usage facile, cet ouvrage est conçu pour être une référence pour les écotouristes et les primatologues amateurs. Les 102 taxons actuellement connus sont richement illustrés et la répartition géographique, l'écologie et le comportement de chacun d'eux sont décrits en détail. Un repère en couleur sur la tranche de l'ouvrage permet rapidement de visualiser les cinq familles de lémuriens actuels. Les six premiers chapitres présentent l'histoire géologique de l'île, comment les lémuriens y sont arrivés, les espèces éteintes, la découverte et l'étude des lémuriens actuels ainsi que les enjeux de leur conservation. Les chapitres 7 à 11 constituent l'essentiel de l'ouvrage et fournissent les données détaillées sur les 102 espèces et sous-espèces. Enfin, les annexes offrent de nombreuses cartes présentant la topographie de l'île, ses régions biogéographiques et domaines floristiques, et répertorient les lieux où peuvent être observés ces lémuriens dans leur habitat naturel. La riche bibliographie permet au lecteur d'approfondir et d'élargir encore ses connaissances. . "" ********************************.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 2006 Springer hardcover edition. Ex library copy with stamps and labels else good condition. From the cover: In this comprehensive volume, written by experts in the field, information gathered on lemur ecology and adaptation over the past 15 years is presented by both seasoned and newer lemur researchers and provides us with further knowledge concerning both well-studied and rarely studied extant species, as well as insights into the ecology and adaptation of some of the recently extinct lemurs. With the dramatic increase in behavioral and ecological studies on a great variety of lemur species in the past few decades, our knowledge concerning the adaptation of these charming primates to Madagascar's unpredictable and sometimes harsh environmental conditions has improved significantly. Lemurs: Ecology and Adaptation will be a useful and fascinating source book for researchers and students of primate ecology.

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.
