New accounts are published each year, summarizing the current understanding of the biology of the species including systematics, distribution, fossil history, genetics, anatomy, physiology, behavior, ecology, and conservation. The accounts vary from 2 14 pages depending upon what is known. Other publications from the Society are available from http://www.mammalsociety.org/publications/index.html.
