Ebook: Mammals of Colorado

"Mammals of Colorado" provides detailed information on the identification, ecology, behaviour, reproduction, taxonomy, and distribution of the state's mammals. The first three chapters discuss Colorado's physiography and ecosystems; the evolution, anatomy, and biogeography of mammals; a history of their study in Colorado; and, the many different values that people hold in relation to mammals. The remaining chapters provide accounts of species, each including a description, the natural history, and the distribution of the particular species in Colorado. Richly illustrated, "Mammals of Colorado" features 268 distribution maps (Colorado and North America), 34 skull drawings, and a photograph of each species. This comprehensive volume incorporates and cites new research from the past twenty years on the mammals of Colorado and focuses on work conducted within the state.
