Felines of the World: Discoveries in Taxonomic Classification and History provides the most recent taxonomic, paleontological, phylogenetic and DNA advances of wild felid and domestic cat species following guidelines dictated by the IUCN SSC Cat Specialist Group. It highlights the importance of felines and their role as predators in maintaining the ecological biome balance in which they have evolved. The book delves into the anatomical, evolutionary and zoogeographic features of fossil and current felid species. Each species is described in detail, detailing its classification, habitat and biological habits. This book also presents the most updated threat and conservation status of each species.
This book is an ideal resource for zoologists and paleontologists, primarily those interested in the evolution and features of extinct and extant felines.

Recenzii

"Felines of the World provides a detailed and complete picture of the characteristics of the Felidae family. Starting from the general traits of the Carnivora and the peculiarities of the felids among them, the book is divided into several sections, defining in detail the history of the family and its classification. The main anatomical, ecological and behavioral characteristics of each species are illustrated, with clarity and precision. The author also discusses the general traits of the family from an ecological, ethological and genetic perspective, with particular attention to some phenotypes. There is also a discussion of the role of felids in human culture, and an in-depth study on the threats to their survival from a conservationist perspective. A scientific text in English, full of information, but clear and fluent. Certainly not the book to take under an umbrella, but a precious resource for researchers and enthusiasts, who will find it rigorous and enjoyable." --BioPills
