Taxonomy of Australian Mammals

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Taxonomy of Australian Mammals utilises the latest morphometric and genetic research to develop the most up-to-date and comprehensive revision of the taxonomy of Australian mammals undertaken to date.

It proposes significant changes to the higher ranks of a number of groups and recognises several genera and species that have only recently been identified as distinct.

This easy-to-use reference also includes a complete listing of all species, subspecies, and synonyms for all of Australia's mammals, both native and introduced, as well as terrestrial and marine.

This book lays a foundation for future taxonomic work and identifies areas where taxonomic studies should be targeted, not only at the species and subspecies level but also at broader phylogenetic relationships.
