This book was one of the first of its kind to address the study of mammalian ecology from a landscape perspective. Thorough study of the chapters in the book, as well as preparation for the chapter that I coauthored in the book, changed the focus of my doctoral research and fostered a new series of ideas for me in the study of mammalian ecology. These ideas were the basis for my postdoctoral research program and allowed me to be part of a growing new area of research.
