About this book
This volume provides comprehensive overviews of each terrestrial cetartiodactyl species’ biology including palaeontology, physiology, genetics, reproduction and development, ecology, habitat and diet. Their economic significance and management, as well as future challenges for research and conservation are also addressed. Each chapter includes a distribution map, a photograph of the animal and key literature. This authoritative volume of the Handbook of the Mammals of Europe is a timely and detailed compilation of all European terrestrial cetartiodactyls and will appeal to academics and students in mammal research, as well as to professionals dealing with mammal management, including control, use and conservation.
Reviews
“The book is a very helpful source to study wild terrestrial artiodactyla in Europe. It will become one of the references for the even-toed ungulates of Europe.” (Thiemo Braasch, Suiform Soundings, Vol. 22 (1), 2023)

About the editors
Luca Corlatti is Senior Wildlife Ecologist at the Stelvio National Park (Italy) and Affiliate Professor of Wildlife Ecology at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg (Germany). He obtained a MSc in Forest and Environmental Sciences at the University of Padua (Italy) in 2006. After research experiences in Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Austria and Scotland, in 2013 he obtained a PhD in Evolutionary Biology at the University of Siena (Italy). In 2016 he was recipient of a Marie Curie-Skłodowska Postdoctoral Fellowship in Behavioral Ecology at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (Germany); between 2017 and 2021 he held a Postdoc position with the Chair of Wildlife Ecology and Management at the University of Freiburg. His research interests primarily focus on the ecology, behavior and management of mountain-dwelling ungulates. He is Associate Editor of Mammalian Biology and Wildlife Biology, and member of the Caprinae Specialist Group of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Frank E. Zachos is head of the Mammal Collection at the Natural History Museum Vienna, Austria, affiliated lecturer at the University of Vienna and affiliated professor at the Department of Genetics at the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein, South Africa. He studied biology, history of science and philosophy in Kiel and Jena, Germany, and received his PhD in zoology in 2005. In 2009, he completed his habilitation for zoology and evolutionary biology. His main research topics comprise the intraspecific biodiversity, phylogeography, population genetics and conservation of mammals and birds, with a particular focus on red deer and other ungulates. He also has a long-standing interest in species concepts and the species problem as well as other theoretical and philosophical issues in evolutionary biology and systematics. He was the editor-in-chief of the journal Mammalian Biology from2007 to 2021, and he is currently the editor of the Mammalia series within the Handbook of Zoology.
