Mammals as Pests

Mammals as Pests by Rory Putman, published by Springer Science & Business Media on June 30, 1989, is a comprehensive examination of the pest status of various mammal species. This 272-page book presents a revised selection of papers from a symposium organized by the Mammal Society in London in November 1987, focusing on the complexities of how certain mammals are perceived and categorized as pests.

Readers will find an in-depth analysis that challenges traditional views on the pest status of common mammal species. The book delves into topics related to science, life sciences, and zoology, offering insights into the interactions between mammals and their environments. By re-evaluating these species, the work aims to foster a better understanding of their roles in agriculture and forestry, providing a nuanced perspective on wildlife management and pest control.
