Mammalian predators play a vital role in any ecosystem, yet many of these elusive creatures possess vast territories that make them challenging to monitor effectively. When traditional tracking and sign detection methods prove difficult or yield no results, hair samples collected from the field emerge as a valuable resource, often overlooked.
The Hair Scale Identification Guide to Terrestrial Mammalian Carnivores of Canada offers a comprehensive and up-to-date reference for all 25 terrestrial carnivorous mammals found in Canada. This guide provides detailed illustrations of hair scale patterns, allowing for a clear observation of unique traits and tricky similarities among these species. By magnifying the medial portion of the hair impression, researchers can identify specific characteristics that aid in species identification, even when hair is the sole available evidence.
Furthermore, this guide outlines practical techniques for collecting and analyzing hair samples in the field, assisting ecologists and technicians in conducting wildlife monitoring studies on predatory mammals. It includes range maps and key identification characteristics for each species, along with high-quality images of hair scale impressions at two magnification levels. This book serves as a valuable tool for animal hair identification, enhancing our understanding of these important ecological players and their interactions within ecosystems.
