Critics Review

[Ungulate Taxonomy] will become a reference base for future studies and it is a pleasant book to handle.

Groves and Grubb have produced the first major revision of hoofed mammals since Richard Lydekker’s contributions nearly 100 years ago… Their collaborative volume will likely represent the authoritative classification of ungulates well into the future, possible for the next 100 years. Choice Groves and Grubb have written THE book about ungulate taxonomy, which will be the benchmark and reference for the next years. Journal of the Zoological Society for the Conservation of Species and Populations An important contribution to ungulate taxonomy written by two well-published and highly regarded authors. It should be purchased by any mammalogist or evolutionary biologist interested in ungulates for his or her library. – Roger D.
