About This Book

The work presents an annotated checklist of mammals recorded in the Mexican state of Michoacán, compiling field collections and museum specimens to document 85 native wild species and subspecies. For each taxon the authors provide scientific names, English, Spanish, and Tarascan vernacular names, geographic ranges within the state, specimen citations with locality and measurements, and taxonomic or natural-history remarks. The text describes field methods and collecting localities, compares material from several institutions, notes species likely present but not yet documented, and includes maps, plates, and a figure to support identification and distributional statements.
