Abstract

This new edition of Marine Mammals of the World describes and illustrates newly discovered and rarely photographed species, making it the most comprehensive and up-to-date identification guide available. This edition continues to meet the research-focused needs of marine biologists and conservation biologists by providing a tremendous influx of new photos, taking advantage of advances in digital and auto-focusing photography, and the emergence of marine mammal studies and "whalewatching" around the world. The book encompasses cetacean, pinniped, and sirenian species, as well as extinct species, and describes basic biology and taxonomic groupings of marine mammals. -- Provided by publisher

Abstract

With coverage on all the marine mammals of the world, authors Jefferson, Webber, and Pitman have created a user-friendly guide to identify marine mammals alive in nature (at sea or on the beach), dead specimens "in hand?, and also to identify marine mammals based on features of the skull. This handy guide provides marine biologists and interested lay people with detailed descriptions of diagnostic features, illustrations of external appearance, beautiful photographs, dichotomous keys, and more. Full color illustrations and vivid photographs of every living marine mammal species are incorporate

Abstract

This book offers a broad perspective on marine mammal species and populations considered to be most at risk due to human activities. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the essential biology and ecology of marine mammals to assess the correlates and causes of extinction and to implement science-based conservation. Chapters address such topics as different types of marine mammals and their importance to the ecosystem of the world's oceans and food cycles, lactation in marine mammals, dolphin survival rates and causes of movement reduction in Bangladesh, and much more.
