The Recent Mammals of Tamaulipas, México

"The Recent Mammals of Tamaulipas, México" by Ticul Alvarez is a detailed scientific study from the early 1960s that explores the different types of mammals living in Tamaulipas, Mexico, and how they connect to the area's land and weather. Starting with an overview of Tamaulipas's geography, including its coastal plains, mountains, and plateaus, the book shows how these diverse environments support a wide variety of wildlife; furthermore, Alvarez uses his own observations and experiences in the area to share insights. Alvarez also acknowledges the work of prior scientists, emphasizing the role of earlier trips and studies that helped inform this study. With a focus on 146 identified species, the book acts as a guide to the region's animal life for researchers, biologists, and anyone keen to learn about Mexico's natural world.
