The Handbook of British Mammals
Abstract
Initially published in hardback in 1990, this book provides a comprehensive description of the mammalian fauna of the British Isles and should be a useful resource for professionals and amateurs alike. The main part of the book comprises species accounts covering physical descriptions, distribution data, and information on social organization and behaviour. These accounts have been put into context by an introduction and chapters on the history of the fauna and mammalian habitats in the British Isles; an additional chapter on British mammals and the law is designed to ensure that the naturalist or researcher dealing with mammals is aware of the legal restrictions on their activities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
