About this Item
Two separate projects on free-living elephant-shrews (Macroscelidea) were undertaken to establish some characteristics of their ecology and behaviour. In Kenya, Rhynchocyon chrysopygus was studied in coastal forest during 21 months and Elephantulus rufescens was studied in Tsavo bushland for 12 months. Observations of marked individuals were recorded in field notebooks. Stomach contents and food availability data were also collected. Limited information on Pterodromus tetradactylus and published accounts on Macroscelides proboscideus are used to discuss anti-predator, feeding and reproductive strategies. The life histories of elephant-shrews and other mammals are compared and discussed in terms of the unique phylogeny of the Macroscelidea. Berlin & Hamburg. Verlag Paul Parey. 76 pp., 48 figs, 10 tabs, softcover gr. 8 [16.5 x 24.5 cm] [a mint copy]. Seller Inventory # W35868
