Beautifully illustrated throughout, The Biology of Small Mammals provides a valuable and updated reference on nature's more diminutive creatures.

There are close to 5,500 species in the class Mammalia, including the blue whale - the largest animal that has ever lived. Reflecting the expertise and perspective of five leading mammalogists, the title significantly updates taxonomy, and includes a chapter on mammalian molecular phylogenetics, and highlights several recently described species.
