内容説明

For over a century, the Indomalayan region (or Oriental region) has been recognized as one of the major zoogeographical regions of the world, comprising southeastern Asia from Pakistan and southern China to Indonesia (except New Guinea) and the Philippines. This volume focuses on its rich fauna of mammals, with over 1000 species - more than a fifth of the world's total. It provides a comprehensive guide to identification, mainly in the form of tabulations of the features of all families, genera, and species; maps and statements of the geographical range of all living species in the region; a revised classification based on a critical assessment of recent research, including biochemical taxonomy; and a nomenclature list, documenting about 8000 scientific names applied to mammals of the region.
