Produktinformationen "Mammalia - Part II - The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S Beagle"
This volume is the definitive record of the living mammals collected by Charles Darwin during his historic five-year circumnavigation aboard H.M.S. Beagle (1832-1836). Part II ;of the comprehensive Zoology series, Mammalia provides a meticulous account of the species encountered and preserved, primarily from the remote coastlines and interior territories of South America. It features detailed scientific descriptions and classifications of bats, carnivores, and an array of South American rodents, including species new to science. Crucially, Charles Darwin himself contributes the vital contextual material, including a geographical introduction to the collection sites and extensive "Notices of their Habits and Ranges." These firsthand field observations offer unparalleled insights into the behavior and distribution of these creatures in their native habitats. Contents include: Phyllostomidae Phyllostoma Grayi Phyllostoma Perspicillatum Vespertilionidae Noctilionidae Carnivora Canis Magellanicus Felis Pajoros, etc. The remarkable biodiversity documented in these pages fueled Darwin's early thinking on evolution and geographical succession, making this a pivotal primary source for understanding the development of his revolutionary theories. A must-have for historians of science and naturalists.
