Drawing on extensive field work and museum collections, this volume presents a comprehensive overview of the mammalian fauna found in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. Readers are guided through detailed species accounts that cover physical description, geographic range, and habitat preferences, supported by clear line drawings and distribution maps. The author also discusses patterns of variation and the biogeographic connections that link the region’s mammals to neighboring areas of the United States and central Mexico.
In addition to the core species list, the work highlights several recently discovered or poorly known taxa, offering insights into their taxonomic status and potential conservation concerns. The text is organized for both specialists and enthusiastic naturalists, balancing technical precision with accessible language. With a modest set of figures and tables, the book serves as a valuable reference for anyone interested in the biodiversity of northern Mexico.
