Summary: "Mammals Taken Along the Alaska Highway" by Rollin H. Baker is a scientific publication written in the early 1950s. This book documents the collection of various mammal species along the Alaska Highway, highlighting species distribution and their ecological contexts. It serves as a significant resource for understanding the biodiversity of mammals in the regions of Alaska, Yukon, and British Columbia. The book presents an account of mammals collected during expeditions in the summers of 1947 and 1948, primarily by J.R. Alcorn, who gathered over 1,250 specimens across numerous locations. Baker meticulously categorizes detailed descriptions of various species, such as the cinereous shrew, water shrew, and beaver, alongside their habitat preferences, geographic ranges, and ecological interactions. Each species is described comprehensively, including collection methods, physical measurements, and observations from the field, thereby contributing valuable data to the field of mammalogy and conservation biology. The work not only details individual species but also offers insights into the broader ecological dynamics of the regions explored. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
