Animal Natural History Series

About the Series
A series of volumes on the natural history of a single species or closely related groups of species. Natural history is defined in the broadest context to include life history, distribution and habitat, ecology, behavior, evolution/systematics/taxonomy, conservation, cultural, economic, and historical relations with humans, and captive maintenance/care. Books are written to appeal to a wide audience of general readers, yet be sufficiently complete and scholarly to attract professional biologists. The goal is to have each volume become the first place one would look for an answer to a question on the natural history or biology of the species covered. The books will not be exhaustively referenced, but the bibliographic information will lead readers to important articles and monographs on the subject. Geographic emphasis will be on Western North America and Latin America.
