Clayton South 2023, geb., 345 Seiten, viele Fotos, Großformat. Islands are special because they promote unique forms of life, and large proportions of the species they hold are found no-where else on Earth. The mammals of the South-west Pacific are no exception, with many distributed only across single islands or archipelagos. This book details the natural history for more than 180 species of marsupials, bats and rodents from 24 Pacific nations and territories. Species profiles are accompanied by distribution maps, illustrations and photographs – many being the first images ever captured for the species. By combining available knowledge with unpublished data collected over years of field work, this book forms a definitive guide to the mammals from this region.
