Predators with pouches : the biology of carnivorous marsupials
'Predators With Pouches' deals with the carnivorous marsupial faunas of Australasia and the Americas. Written by experts in each field from all over the world, it provides a synthesis of current knowledge including paleontology, ecology, behavior and conservation.
