Taxonomic Notes on Mexican Bats of the Genus Rhogeëssa

E. Raymond Hall

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "Taxonomic Notes on Mexican Bats of the Genus Rhogeëssa," E. Raymond Hall meticulously revisits the taxonomic classification of this often-overlooked group of bats endemic to Mexico. Employing a meticulous approach characterized by empirical observation and comparative analysis, Hall combines his extensive field research with existing literature to probe the intricacies of species differentiation within the genus. His clear and concise literary style balances technical precision with accessible explanations, making the work a substantial contribution to both the fields of mammalogy and conservation biology, while situating itself within the broader context of biodiversity studies prevalent in early 20th-century natural sciences. E. Raymond Hall was a prominent mammalogist whose extensive fieldwork in Latin America laid the groundwork for much of modern bat taxonomy. His passion for zoology was ignited during his formative years, leading him to pursue a career conducting surveys and taxonomic research across varied habitats. Hall's adeptness in field studies and his commitment to biological classification emerge in this scholarly work, reflecting his broader objectives in illuminating lesser-known species and their ecological significance. This book is an essential read for scholars, conservationists, and wildlife enthusiasts alike. It not only offers invaluable insights into the genus Rhogeëssa but also emphasizes the importance of taxonomic understanding in biodiversity conservation efforts. Readers interested in the nuances of bat diversity in Mexico will find Hall's contributions both illuminating and indispensable.

Sophie Yeo

Winner of the 2024 Richard Jefferies Award for nature writingShortlisted for the 2024 Wainwright Prize for Writing on ConservationA Times Science Book of the Year
‘Sophie writes fantastically, chronicling the most important issues facing nature conservationists today.’ Chris Packham
For thousands of years, humans have been the architects of the natural world. Our activities have permanently altered the environment – for good and for bad.
In Nature’s Ghosts, award-winning journalist Sophie Yeo examines how the planet would have looked before humans scrubbed away its diversity: from landscapes carved out by megafauna to the primeval forests that emerged following the last Ice Age, and from the eagle-haunted skies of the Dark Ages to the flower-decked farms of more recent centuries.
Uncovering the stories of the people who have helped to shape the landscape, she seeks out their footprints even where it seems there are none to be found. And she explores the timeworn knowledge that can help to fix our broken relationship with the earth.
Along the way, Sophie encounters the environmental detectives – archaeological, cultural and ecological – reconstructing, in stunning detail, the landscapes we have lost.
Today, the natural world is more vulnerable than ever; the footprints of humanity heavier than they have ever been. But, as this urgent book argues, from the ghosts of the past, we may learn how to build a more wild and ancient future.
Sophie Yeo's Nature’s Ghosts is a non-fiction masterpiece that takes us on a journey through the science of ecology, exploring the habitats and ecosystems that have been altered by human activity. The book emphasises the need for protection of these resources, offering a glimpse into the past to help us understand how we can shape a better future.
For fans of Robert Macfarlane (Is a River Alive?), Robin Wall Kimmerer (The Democracy of Species), Isabella Tree (Wilding), Jennifer Ackerman (What an Owl Knows), and Derek Gow (Birds, Beasts and Bedlam).
