Rodents are conspicuous and important components of the desert biome. Many general concepts in modern community and behavioral ecology use them as a main model. This volume compiles and generalizes data on the spatial structure of desert rodent communities, taking into account both global (biogeographic) and local (ecological) patterns. It is based on studies of rodents in different deserts of the Northern Hemisphere (Karakum, Kyzylkum, Bet-Pak-Dala, Gobi, Thar, Chihuahua, Negev, and North Caspian deserts) as well as on a thorough analysis of the literature.

Desert animals are built specifically for a harsh, arid environment. As global temperatures rise, however, Earth’s deserts are changing, affecting desert animals’ ability to survive. Readers will see examples of desert animals that are on the spectrum of threatened species, and an example of a animal species that tragically succumbed to extinction. The volume ends with a success story and information about how readers can help fight global warming. Manageable text is paired with charts, maps, and close-up photographs of desert animals to help readers get the most out of this important conservation topic.
