註釋
CRC Handbook of Mammilian Body Masses is a ready reference for anyone interested in the incredible size range found within Mammilia. It contains the largest collection of mammilian body mass data ever gathered on both large and small species. Data from several populations are listed for many species allowing for comparisons across their ranges. Almost 2,600 species are represented including minima and maxima for males and females as well as geographical locations of study populations. The text provides family specific equations for the conversion of body length to masses which is useful for the prediction of body masses that cannot be weighed. The book is based on an extensive canvassing of international literature with more than 1,600 references cited.
