Atlas of the Mammals of Great Britain and Northern Ireland by Derek Crawley,Frazer Coomber,Laura Kubasiewicz,Colin Harrower,Peter Evans,James Waggitt,Bethany Smith,Fiona Matthews,Mammal Society Pdf

Based on more than 1.8 million records, this Atlas provides the most up-to-date information on the current distributions of both terrestrial and marine mammals in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Many changes over time, such as the rapid invasion of the grey squirrel, the recovery of the pine marten and the decline of the water vole, are readily apparent from the detailed maps. Fully illustrated with photographs, detailed information is provided for 84 species, including descriptions of their ecology and identification, together with graphs showing the seasonal distribution of records. Data are also presented for feral species, vagrants, and cetaceans that have only ever been found as strandings. The Atlas will be an invaluable source of information to mammal enthusiasts, professional ecologists, and policy makers.

Atlas of Mammals in Britain by Henry R. Arnold Pdf

Over 115,000 sighting records of British mammals have been collected between 1959 and 1991. This atlas summarizes all the data to form an accurate picture of the distribution of mammals in Britain. Each mammal species is described individually, a table provides basic record details, and a map illustrates the mammals' distribution in Great Britain and the Channel Islands up to 1959 and from 1960. In all, 65 mammals are listed which range from the mole, the most commonly recorded species, to the greater white-toothed shrew for which only five records exist.
