| When did the mammal fauna of the British Isles arrive? | |
| 1982 Other Document | |
The origin of the present fauna of the British Isles (a term which I take to be a geographical rather than a political entity, to include Ireland and Man), has been the subject of innumerable papers and at least two influential books. While the evidence used has come from many groups of animals and, indeed, from plants, the mammals have been an important group in speculation about the presence and distribution of our fauna. The numerous island races, especialyl of the Wood mouse, _Apodemus sylvaticus_, and the erratic distribution of some species and subspecies, provided a fertile source for speculation. |
