Groves -- Family Giraffidae / Nikos Solounias -- Family Bovidae / Nikos Solounias -- Artiodactyl paleoecology and evolutionary trends / Christine M. Janis.Artiodactyls are diverse and successful hoofed mammals, represented by nearly two hundred living species of pigs, peccaries, hippos, camels, deer, sheep, cattle, giraffes, and other even-toed ungulates. In the last five years, a tremendous amount of research has been conducted on this important order. The Evolution of Artiodactyls synthesizes this research into a single, comprehensive volume. Here Donald R. Prothero, Scott E. Foss, and a team of distinguished international experts explore evolutionary topics and trends among all living artiodactyl families as well as many that are extinct. They also discuss the molecular phylogeny of terrestrial artiodactyls; phylogenetic relationships of cetaceans to terrestrial artiodactyls, and the earliest artiodactyls -- Diacodexidae, Dichobunidae, Homacodontidae, Leptochoeridae, and Raoellidae. A landmark reference, The Evolution of Artiodactyls belongs on the library shelf of every paleontologist, mammalogist, and evolutionary biologist.

Whitetail savvy : new research and observations about America's most popular big game animal / by Rue, Leonard Lee.(CARDINAL)126032;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Populations and nomenclature -- Whitetail sizes and weights -- Physiology -- The five senses -- Age and aging -- Predators, parasites, pathogens, and accidents -- Antlers -- Food and when it's eaten -- Communication -- Emotions in deer -- Instinct vs. intelligence -- The deer's year -- Deer and man.Although the whitetail population is at an all-time high, the lives of North America's most abundant and controversial deer are still shrouded in mystery. So few whitetail activities are ever witnessed that many unique traits, social habits, and day-to-day experiences have gone undocumented-until now. Here, renowned wildlife author-photographer Dr. Leonard Lee Rue III shares his lifelong research. Blending unrivaled knowledge, the latest scientific research, and personal anecdotes and observations with over 250 astounding photographs, Rue brings to life the secret world of whitetails. From the classifications of the Cervidae family to field dressing a deer, from the science behind tree rubs to the number of spots on a fawn's coat, Rue explains every conceivable aspect of these popular and spirited large mammals. This book is a must for anyone interested in whitetails: nature buffs, deer lovers, deer haters, wildlife managers, homeowners, photographers, highway troopers, and-not least-deer hunters. Full of never-before-published facts, observations and intricate details, Whitetail Savvy is truly the indispensable guide for understanding, respecting, and preserving the future of this majestic species.
