About This Book

The monograph surveys North American members of the mammalian order Lagomorpha, providing systematic treatments of pikas, rabbits, and hares. It defines family- and genus-level characters, reviews species and subspecies accounts with geographic records, measurements, and diagnostic traits, and discusses reproduction, dentition, and behavior such as nesting and coprophagy. Distributional notes and specimen citations accompany illustrated figures and keys that aid identification. The work concludes with literature citations and taxonomic remarks that synthesize current knowledge and clarify nomenclatural and geographic limits for each taxon.
