Reviews

Goodman and Raherilalao have thoroughly compiled 25 years of biodiversity surveys accomplished by Association Vahatra and World Wildlife Fund. . . . Extremely useful to both biologists and policy makers to have these two volumes [ Extinct Madagascar and the Atlas of Selected Land Vertebrates of Madagascar ] published and easily accessible. Not only are sighting, trapping, and paleontological sites labeled and mapped, but the type of forest and ecosystem is also clear. Current threats to the fauna are also outlined. Recent renaming of taxonomic groups based on molecular evidence is also clarified, making this information very useful to young scientists. The authors, well-known, seasoned scientists, are praised for excellent fieldwork and thorough scholarship in presenting these data of Malagasy fauna past and present. --Patricia Chapple Wright, Stony Brook University Quarterly Review of Biology
