About This Book

The work reports the results of two summer field seasons of mammal collecting along the Alaska Highway corridor and adjacent regions of Alaska, the Yukon, British Columbia, and Alberta, documenting 1,252 specimens representing 56 species and subspecies. It provides locality maps with elevations, detailed species accounts listing specimens, measurements, taxonomic citations, and notes on variation, habitat, trapping methods, and distribution. The publication includes a figure and brief plates, discusses relative abundance and instances of subspecific intergradation observed in the samples, and acknowledges loans of comparative material and the permits and agencies that facilitated the field work.
