Mammal Species of The World

Wilson & Reeder's Mammal Species of the World, now in its 3rd edition, is a standard reference work in zoology giving descriptions and bibliographic data for the known species of mammals.

An updated Third Edition of Mammal Species of the World was published late in 2005.

The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History maintains an online site for accessing current information, including taxonomic, as it is compiled.

The fourth edition is currently being compiled by multiple authors internationally, and is being edited by DeeAnn M. Reeder and Kristofer M. Helgen.

Famous quotes containing the words the world, species and/or world:

    It is not quite the same when we are seventy-two as when we are twenty-seven; still I am glad of what is left, and wish we might both hold out till the victory we have sought is won, but all the same the victory is coming. In the aftertime the world will be the better for it.
    Lucy Stone (1818–1893)

    Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water. But we missed the white water-lily, which is the queen of river flowers, its reign being over for this season.... Many of this species inhabit our Concord water.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A world is in flames, and you are cracking silly jokes.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
