African small mammals = Petits mammifères africains
Résumé
Les petits mammifères représentent environ 80 % de la diversité mammalienne africaine. Ce volume présente les travaux récents sur la taxonomie, la phylogénie, la classification, l'éco-éthologie et l'écologie d'insectivores, carnivores et rongeurs des différentes régions. Il expose également, les aspects les plus récents de la recherche fondamentale et appliquée sur ces mammifères.
