The atlas presents the current state of knowledge of the past and present distribution of the non-flying terrestrial mammals of the Ionian and Aegean islands. It provides a distribution map for each species with extensive references and a description of all the mammalian taxa. The book also focuses on the important role of human beings in the redefinition of the insular ecological equilibrium, as well as on the environmental impact of biological invasions. The protection and study of this fauna can provide an opportunity for testing a range of different evolutionary theories. 606 $aMammals$zGreece$zIonian Islands$xGeographical distribution 606 $aMammals$zAegean Islands (Greece and Turkey)$xGeographical distribution 615 0$aMammals$xGeographical distribution. 615 0$aMammals$xGeographical distribution. 676 $a599.0939/1 676 $a599.09391 676 $a599.09495 676 $a599.09391 701 $aMasseti$b Marco$0451060 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807025103321 996 $aAtlas of terrestrial mammals of the Ionian and Aegean islands$94025324 997 $aUNINA
