Measuring Mammals, the difinitive work. by Thad J. Williams (Gainsville, Texas USA)

5 Stars
October 05, 2000
I am a mammalogist new to the field. I designed my first investigation, a mammalian bioinventory of a park in Costa Rica in 1999. The Wilson book was extremely helpful, and I cited it no less than 10 times in my permit application. I reccommend this publication to any persons hoping to work with mammals or currently employed sampling mammal diversity.
