Book number 11 is about a finger-sized baby wild kangaroo mouse that amazed us with his instincts to accomplish many things. At first I didn't really know what my friend had brought to me, except that it was totally dependent on us for life. When I stared at this little life, I could tell from the noises and movements that it was trying to communicate so many things: fear, hunger, pain, desperation. I knew we would keep this little guy and be fascinated to see how his instincts would dictate his life with us. We got to watch him go through all stages of baby to senior, and he earned his long and gray hair by the end of his life. It was amazing that he had no parents, siblings, or role model, yet he was capable of so much on his own. He was as endearing and adorable as a baby and the same as a little old man.

This volume, like its predecessors, concentrates on the ground war in I Corps and III MAF’s perspective of the Vietnam War as an entity. It also covers the Marine Corps participation in the advisory effort, the operations of the two Special Landing Forces of the U.S. Navy’s Seventh Fleet, and the services of Marines with the staff of the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. There are additional chapters on supporting arms and logistics, and a discussion of the Marine role in Vietnam in relation to the overall American effort.

4.1.1 Demographic significance Confined populations grow more rapidly than populations from which dispersal is permitted (Lidicker, 1975; Krebs, 1979; Tamarin et at., 1984), and demography in island populations where dispersal is restricted differs greatly from nearby mainland populations (Lidicker, 1973; Tamarin, 1977, 1978; Gliwicz, 1980), clearly demonstrating the demographic signi ficance of dispersal. The prevalence of dispersal in rapidly expanding populations is held to be the best evidence for presaturation dispersal. Because dispersal reduces the growth rate of source populations, it is generally believed that emigration is not balanced by immigration, and that mortality of emigrants occurs as a result of movement into a 'sink' of unfavourable habitat. If such dispersal is age- or sex-biased, the demo graphy of the population is markedly affected, as a consequence of differ ences in mortality in the dispersive sex or age class. Habitat heterogeneity consequently underlies this interpretation of dispersal and its demographic consequences, although the spatial variability of environments is rarely assessed in dispersal studies.
