Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. Este checklist ilustrado cubre Madagascar, uno de los principales hotspots de biodiversidad del mundo, famoso por su asombrosa fauna y flora y especialmente por la gran cantidad de extraordinarias especies endémicas. Madagascar se encuentra también entre las cuatro regiones principales del mundo de primates, ya que cuenta con 112 especies y subespecies endémicas de lémures. Este libro está destinado a facilitar el ecoturismo de Madagascar, un país de biodiversidad única que puede ser observada y disfrutada con relativa facilidad, Es una herramienta fácil de usar, tanto residentes como visitantes de la región, que permite conocer rápidamente los 253 mamíferos terrestres y marinos que pueden encontrar. Cuenta con la información más actualizada de los mamíferos de la zona a la que le acompaña una ilustración de todas las especies y subespecies de Madagascar y de las islas cercanas del Océano Índico: las Comoras, las Seychelles, la Reunión y Mauricio. Este libro forma parte de la colección Lynx Illustrated Checklists, creada a partir del ingente material recopilado para la serie del Handbook of the Mammals of the Word y que se ha sintetizado en prácticos libros para la visita a un destino específico. La geografía colombiana es extremadamente diversa: de este a oeste se extiende desde el río Orinoco hasta el Océano Pacífico y de norte a sur desde el Caribe hasta las cabeceras de la cuenca amazónica. Los Andes están conformados por tres cadenas montañosas principales separadas por los valles del Cauca y del Magdalena. En el norte se encuentran dos grandes sierras, la de Santa Marta y la del Perijá, siendo la primera uno de los principales puntos calientes (hotsposts) del mundo para la observación de aves endémicas. En los últimos años, las rutas habituales para la observación de aves del país han ido evolucionando, focalizándose en las zonas protegidas tanto de propiedad privada como pública, permitiendo así la observación de casi todas las aves endémicas de Colombia, desde loros y colibríes con extravagantes plumajes hasta los furtivos gralláridos. En Sudamérica, no hay mejor lugar que Colombia para escapar de los caminos trillados y descubrir cosas nuevas, como lo demuestra el reciente hallazgo de un grallárido aparentemente nuevo cerca de la ciudad de Cali. 1965 especies; 94 endémicas, 101 casi endémicas, 4 introducidas, 42 accidentales. Más de 3600 ilustraciones y más de 2000 mapas de distribución. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Con un formato fácil de usar y muy práctico para el campo, este nuevo libro permite a los visitantes ver de un vistazo qué especies están presentes en los 21 países de la región neotropical que tienen poblaciones silvestres de primates, y ofrece indicaciones que ayudarán en su identificación. La guía abarca todas las especies y subespecies de primates que se encuentran de manera natural en los Neotrópicos, así como tres especies africanas que han sido introducidas y que ahora son asilvestradas en algunas islas del Caribe, incluyendo Barbados, San Cristóbal y Nieves, Santa Lucía, Granada, Saint-Martin/Sint Maarten y Anguila. Los textos para cada especie incluyen nombres científicos, nombres comunes en inglés, nombres adicionales en portugués y español, así como en francés para las especies presentes en la Guayana Francesa y en sranan tongo para aquellas en Surinam. También se incluye el estado de conservación según la Lista Roja de Especies Amenazadas de la UICN, los detalles más relevantes sobre hábitats y distribución geográfica, breves notas descriptivas y, cuando está disponible, el rango altitudinal. Cada ficha de especie va acompañada de una o más ilustraciones y un mapa de distribución. Para estimular la observación de primates y la creación de listas de vida de primates, se proporciona una lista de verificación completa con los nombres comunes y los países donde se encuentran las diferentes especies, para que puedas marcar los primates que has visto en tu propia lista de vida. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Zustand: Nuevo. Es de sobras conocido que somos mamíferos del Orden de los primates, aunque si nos preguntáramos por cuantos de ellos conocemos, seguramente sólo podríamos nombrar cinco o seis especies. El tercer volumen del HMW describe más de 470 especies: 138 especies de prosimiosùlémures, gálagos, loris, potos y tarseros en Africa y Asia; 156 especies propias de los trópicos del Nuevo Mundo; otras 158 de los trópicos del Viejo Mundo; y 25 antropoides, los 19 gibones y los 6 grandes simios (chimpancés, gorilas y orangutanes). Gran parte de esta extraordinaria diversidad ha sido descubierta tan sólo hace dos décadas y, por ejemplo, en la década de 1980 se contabilizaban únicamente 180 especies. Actualmente conocemos mucho más sobre su diversidad y en este volumen el HMW nos los presenta en toda su variedad de formas, tamaños, colores, costumbres y especializaciones.Familia Cheirogaleidae (Lémrues ratón, Lémures enanos y Lémures de orejas ahorquilladas) Familia Lepilemuridae (Lémures saltadores) Familia Lemuridae (Lémures, Lémures de collar y Lémures del bambú) Familia Indriidae (Lémures lanudos, Sifacas e Indri) Familia Daubentoniidae (Aye-aye) Familia Galagidae (Gálagos) Familia Lorisidae (Potos y Loris) Familia Tarsiidae (Tarseros) Familia Callitrichidae (Titís, Titís león y Tamarinos) Familia Cebidae (Monos ardilla y Monos capuchinos) Familia Aotidae (Micos nocturnos) Familia Pitheciidae (Monos Saki, Uacaris y Huicocos) Familia Atelidae (Monos aulladores, Monos araña y Monos lanudos) Familia Cercopithecidae (Monos del Viejo Mundo) Familia Hylobatidae (Gibones y Siamang) Familia Hominidae (Orangutanes, Gorilas, Chimpancé y Bonobo). …
