This book focuses on the use of molecular tools to study small populations of rare and endangered mammals, and presents case studies that apply an evolutionary framework to address innovative questions in the emerging field of mammalian conservation genomics using a highly diverse set of novel molecular tools. Novel and more precise molecular technologies now allow experts in the field of mammology to interpret data in a more contextual and empirical fashion and to better describe the evolutionary and ecological processes that are responsible for the patterns they observe. The book also demonstrates how recent advances in genetic/genomic technologies have been applied to assess the impact of environmental/anthropogenic changes on the health of small populations of mammals. It examines a range of issues in the field of mammalian conservation genomics, such as the role that the genetic diversity of the immune system plays in disease protection and localadaptation; the use of noninvasive techniques and genomic banks as a resource for monitoring and restoring populations; the structuring of population by physical barriers; and genetic diversity. Further, by integrating research from a variety of areas – including population genetics, molecular ecology, systematics, and evolutionary and conservation biology – it enables readers to gain a deeper understanding of the conservation biology of mammals that are at increasing risk of extinction at local, regional and global scales. As such, it offers a unique resource for a broad readership interested in the conservation biology of mammals and conservation management strategies to better preserve biodiversity.

With more than 1,400 species, bats are an incredibly diverse and successful group of mammals that can serve as model systems for many unique evolutionary adaptations. Flight has allowed them to master the sky, while echolocation enables them to navigate in the dark. Being small, secretive, nocturnal creatures has made bats a challenge to study, but over the past 50 years, innovative research has made it possible to dispel some of the mystery and myth surrounding them to give us a better understanding of the role these animals play in the ecosystem.The structure of the book is based on several broad themes across the biological sciences, including the evolution of bats, their ecology and behavior, and conservation of biodiversity. Within these themes are more specific topics on important aspects of bat research, such as morphology, molecular biology, echolocation, taxonomy, systematics, threats to bats, social structure, reproduction, movements, and feeding strategies.Given its scope, the book will appeal to the wider scientific community, environmental organizations, and government policymakers who are interested in the interdisciplinary aspects of biology and nature.

The first volume of the Handbook of the Mammals of Middle and South America presents a comprehensive synthesis of the historical, biogeographic, and conservation dimensions of Latin American mammalogy. This volume offers a rigorous, region-wide account of mammalian research across Middle and South America and the Caribbean region, with country-specific chapters documenting the historical development of mammalogy in over 20 countries.A country-by-country chronicle of the history of mammalian research.In-depth analyses of speciation, mammal taxonomy, and biogeography, with cutting-edge insights from phylogenomics.Critical discussions on climate change, invasive species, wildlife trafficking, and Anthropocene extinctions.Reviews of mammal conservation strategies, human-mammal interactions, and the shifting dynamics of mammal habitats and biodiversity hotspots.Explorations of paleontological transformations from the Middle Miocene to the Holocene, including the rise and fall of megafauna.With chapters on zoonotic diseases, conservation status, and the Linnaean shortfall in species discovery, this volume is an indispensable resource for academics, students, and professionals in mammalogy, ecology, and wildlife management. Rich in historical context and scientific rigor, it illuminates the past and present of mammal science in the region—and helps shape its future.A landmark reference for understanding the mammals of Latin America and the Caribbean region—where biodiversity meets biogeography, and history meets hope.

This book provides new insights into the social behavior of bats - one of the most fascinating topics currently being pursued by researchers. After an introduction reviewing the history of research in bat behavioral ecology, it covers three major themes: bat sociality per se (Part I), bat communication (Part II), and ecological aspects (Part III). Part I offers a concise overview of the social organization and systems of bats, introducing readers to the complexity and dynamics of group structures. Part II is devoted to the innovative field of social communication, focusing on bat songs, dialects and calls. Part III discusses the influence of the environment on bat behavior, particularly with regard to roosting and foraging. This book addresses the needs of researchers working in behavioral sciences, evolution and ecology.

El proyecto que generó este libro surgió en el año 2019 con el auspicio de la Oficina de Estudios y Políticas Agrarias (ODEPA) del Ministerio de Agricultura. Su objetivo era proporcionar una mirada de largo plazo sobre la situación y las políticas para la agricultura y el desarrollo rural en Chile, pensando más allá de la coyuntura y de los gobiernos de turno. El presente libro parte de la realidad de que los temas en la agenda del desarrollo agrícola y rural han cambiado en las últimas décadas, y de que los factores que actualmente impactan al sector y a las zonas rurales son distintos de los explorados previamente en la literatura y en la discusión política.
