Sinossi

In "Speciation of the Wandering Shrew," James S. Findley presents a meticulous exploration of the evolutionary biology and ecological dynamics affecting this fascinating small mammal. The book employs a blend of rigorous scientific analysis and engaging narrative, allowing readers to grasp complex concepts of speciation through accessible language and vivid illustrations. Set against a backdrop of ongoing debates in the field of mammalogy, Findley examines the intricate relationships between habitat diversity, genetic variation, and the adaptive strategies of the wandering shrew, contributing significant insights to the larger discourse on biodiversity and conservation. James S. Findley, a distinguished biologist and ecologist, has immersed himself in the study of small mammals for decades, gaining profound insights from field research and laboratory analysis. His extensive background in studying ecological interactions and evolutionary processes has undoubtedly influenced the depth of inquiry in this text. Findley'Äôs dedication to unraveling the complexities of mammalian life resonates throughout the narrative, reflecting his commitment to both education and conservation within the scientific community. This book is highly recommended for ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and those with a keen interest in small mammal biodiversity. Its multifaceted approach not only enhances understanding of the wandering shrew's speciation but also serves as an essential resource for anyone passionate about ecological research and conservation strategies.

    How did rodent outbreaks in Germany help to end World War I? What caused the destructive outbreak of rodents in Oregon and California in the late 1950s, the large population outbreak of lemmings in Scandinavia in 2010, and the great abundance of field mice in Scotland in the spring of 2011? Population fluctuations, or outbreaks, of rodents constitute one of the classic problems of animal ecology, and in Population Fluctuations in Rodents, Charles J. Krebs sifts through the last eighty years of research to draw out exactly what we know about rodent outbreaks and what should be the agenda for future research.           Krebs has synthesized the research in this area, focusing mainly on the voles and lemmings of the Northern Hemisphere—his primary area of expertise—but also referring to the literature on rats and mice. He covers the patterns of changes in reproduction and mortality and the mechanisms that cause these changes—including predation, disease, food shortage, and social behavior—and discusses how landscapes can affect population changes, methodically presenting the hypotheses related to each topic before determining whether or not the data supports them. He ends on an expansive note, by turning his gaze outward and discussing how the research on rodent populations can apply to other terrestrial mammals. Geared toward advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and practicing ecologists interested in rodent population studies, this book will also appeal to researchers seeking to manage rodent populations and to understand outbreaks in both natural and urban settings—or, conversely, to protect endangered species.
