Research on our evolutionary cousins has a long history, but the last 20 years have seen particularly rapid progress in disentangling the interrelationships and evolutionary history of mammals. The present volume combines up-to-date reviews on mammalian phylogenetics with paleontological, taxonomic and evolutionary chapters and also summarizes the historical development of our insights in mammalian relationships, and thus our own place in the Tree of Life. Our book places the present biodiversity crisis in context, with one in four mammal species threatened by extinction, and reviews the distribution and conservation of mammalian diversity across the globe. This volume is the introductory tome to the new Mammalia series of the Handbook of Zoology and will be essential reading for mammalogists, zoologists and conservationists alike. 606 $aMammals$xEvolution 610 $aMammalogy. 610 $aMorphology. 610 $aSystematics. 610 $aZoology. 615 0$aMammals$xEvolution. 676 $a599 702 $aZachos$b Frank E.$f1974- 702 $aAsher$b Robert J. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813331703321 996 $aMammalian evolution, diversity and systematics$93938909 997 $aUNINA
