Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Madagascar's unique ecosystem features an impressive array of endemic mammals, with around 210 native non-volant species found nowhere else on Earth. This isolation has led to remarkable evolutionary adaptations, resulting in diverse body forms and lifestyles. Many species showcase significant convergent evolution with mammals from other regions, while others possess entirely unique characteristics. The book explores this exceptional biodiversity and the fascinating evolutionary processes that have shaped Madagascar's wildlife.
