Book excerpt: The Class Mammalia is amazingly diverse, ranging from whales to marsupials to bats to primates. The more than 5,400 species occupy many habitats, with mammals present on all the continents. They are rare only on Antarctica and a few isolated islands. Mammals present a complex set of conservation and management issues. Some species have become more numerous with the rise of human populations, while others have been extirpated or nearly so—such as the Caribbean monk seal, the thylacine, the Chinese river dolphin, and the Pyrenean ibex. In this new edition of their classic textbook, George A. Feldhamer and his colleagues cover the many aspects of mammalogy. Thoroughly revised and updated, this edition includes treatments of the most recent significant findings in ordinal-level mammalian phylogeny and taxonomy; special topics such as parasites and diseases, conservation, and domesticated mammals; interrelationships between mammalian structure and function; and the latest molecular techniques used to study mammals. Instructors: email [email protected] for a free instructor resource disc containing all 510 illustrations printed in Mammalogy: Adaptation, Diversity, Ecology, third edition.

Book Synopsis Radiology of Australian Mammals by : Larry Vogelnest
Download or read book Radiology of Australian Mammals written by Larry Vogelnest and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in the conservation and welfare of Australian native wildlife continues to grow. Veterinarians are frequently presented with injured, diseased or orphaned animals and there is increasing veterinary involvement in conservation programs. In Australia and overseas, Australian mammals are used in research, kept as pets and are popular display and education animals in zoos and fauna parks. The recognition, diagnosis and treatment of injury and disease in wildlife species present unique challenges for the veterinarian. Radiology is a fundamental diagnostic tool that can be used to further define the nature and extent of injury or disease, guide therapeutic decisions and determine prognosis. An essential aspect of radiology is the recognition and description of abnormal findings. In order to recognise abnormalities, knowledge of normal radioanatomy is necessary. Radiology of Australian Mammals provides a detailed reference on the normal radioanatomy of Australian mammals. A chapter on radiographic technique covers digital radiography of small species, and restraint and positioning to obtain diagnostic images. This is followed by chapters covering the normal radioanatomy of the short-beaked echidna, platypus, macropods, koala, wombats, dasyurids, possums and gliders, bandicoots and the bilby, and bats. Each chapter includes a detailed description of anatomy relevant to radiography and multiple images of normal radiographs with outlines and annotations identifying relevant structures. A chapter on dental radiology discusses and demonstrates normal dental radioanatomy. The final chapter includes selected radiographic pathology case studies providing an appreciation of radiographic findings seen in some common diseases of Australian mammals. A checklist of the mammals of Australia and its territories and a glossary of abbreviations and terms used for annotation of images complete the volume.

Dalton Rivers also hopes for his son Quail to join the team as well, not for management or a position on the team's board but as a player. Quail played baseball growing up, but never wanted to play professionally. Instead, he dreamed of playing for the Bandicoots. This Christmas in Pickerville, the Rivers brothers are preparing for a season with the Bandicoots baseball team. Their father's farm also requires repairs, and Quail takes on the job of insulating the barn, promising to finish in two weeks. A Bandicoot Holiday provides a story full of holiday spirit. Meet the small-town family as they work on their farm, milking cows and maintaining the barn. Sherman E. Hister delightfully depicts the snow-covered countryside and the people who inhabit it. Will Quail finish the barn in the promised time? Can the Rivers brothers bring the Bandicoots to a winning season? Join the warm-hearted Rivers family, who love each other as much as they love the town they come from, as they strengthen their baseball team and stride to succeed.
