This illustrated checklist covers The Southern Cone of South America and its associated islands (Argentinian and Chilean Austral Zone islands, Falklands (Malvinas), Desventuradas Islands and Juan Fernández Archipelago), a region rich in habitat diversity and harboring a corresponding richness of mammalian life. Although not a traditional Field Guide, this book will equip both residents and visitors to the region with an easy-to-use resource to quickly learn all the species of mammals known to occupy the area.
Features:
- 486 species, including 17 introduced.
- Texts for each species include common names in English and Spanish, conservation status according to The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and the most relevant details about habitats occupied and descriptive notes to facilitate identification.
- Widely used common names in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay are also included.
- Every species account includes also one or more illustrations and a distribution map.
Based on texts of the Handbook of the Mammals of the World (HMW) series, with minor modifications and updates.
