Mammals of the Brussels Region: Species Data Sheets.
Summaries of information on selected species of mammals of the Brussels Region, covering systematics and nomenclature, morphometry, appearance, life history, behaviour, diet, distribution, habitat, movements, status and trends, legal protection, threats and conservation. The selection is presently limited to bats and the information is in French only. Scientific nomenclature follows A world list of mammalian species (Corbet & Hill, 1986, London, British Museum). English, French, Dutch and German names are borrowed from The atlas of European mammals (Mitchell-Jones, et. al., 1999, London, Academic Press and Poyser), Mammals of Britain and Europe (MacDonald & Barrett, 1993, London, Collins), Mammifères de la Suisse (Hausser, et al., 1995, Basel, Birkhäuser), Atlas van de Nederlandse zoogdieren (Broekhuizen et al., 1992, Utrecht, Koninklijke Nederlandse Natuurhistorische Vereniging).
