The Quintessential Naturalist
Kelt, Douglas A. / Lessa, Enrique P. / Salazar-Bravo, Jorge / Patton, James L.
Oliver P. Pearson's studies on mammalian biology remain standard reading for ecologists, physiologists, taxonomists, and biogeographers. Reflecting this, the papers gathered here continue to expand our understanding of the ecology and evolution of subterranean mammals, and of ecology, taxonomy, and biogeography of Neotropical mammals, a group that was central to the latter half of Pearson's career.
