This review is from: Biogeographic Analysis of the Mammals of Salta Province, Argentina: Patterns of Species Assemblage in the Neotropics (Special Publications) (Paperback)

This monograph is a detailed analysis of the ecology, distribution, and biogeography of the mammals of Salta Province, Argentina, an area of great habitat complexity. Habitats range from high Andean deserts to rain forests to lowland deserts and the Great Thorn Forest. The mammals of each habitat are discussed, and the faunas among the habitats are compared. Information on the ecology of each species is presented. Several biogeographic and evolutionary patterns of colonization, speciation, and coexistence are clarified. More than 100 species are considered.
