ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The author would personally like to thank everybody who contributed directly or indirectly to the production of this volume. Particular thanks to Philip Myers of UMMZ/Animal Diversity Web, Dr Marco Mello of Casa dos Morcegos, Merlin Tuttle of Bat Conservation International and Karina Atkinson of Para La Tierra for permission to use the superb photographs that their organisations hold in their image collections. Thanks also to the other photographers who have given permission for their photographs to be used, Silvia Centrón, John Smit and Jonathan Newman. Dr Robert Owen and Professor Julio Contreras are always available to help and very kindly make their respective extensive libraries available to me. A great many other people also assisted by sending literature and I give thanks to all of them, especially Dr Marlies Sazima and Dr Erich Fischer.
For the taxonomic sections of this volume Dr Alfred L. Gardner deserves special mention as the editor of Mammals of South America Vol 1 (2007) as do the various professionals who contributed to its production (which reads like a who´s who of the greatest mammalogists of our age!!). This was an indispensable reference upon which I have drawn heavily and without which this volume would be considerably poorer.
The FAUNA Paraguay Handbook of the Mammals of Paraguay should be seen as a work in progress and will be updated as and when new material is published or becomes available. If you would like to contribute to future editions or have any comments, queries or corrections related to this volume, you can email the author at:
