Zoonotic Disease and Public Health and the Contribution of Mammalogy to Global Health

Abstract

Mammalogy, the scientific study of mammals, is a vital branch of zoology that provides critical insights into the biology, behavior, and conservation of mammals. With over 6,000 species distributed across every continent, mammals are among the most diverse and adaptable groups of animals on Earth. From the tiny bumblebee bat to the mighty blue whale, mammals exhibit an incredible range of sizes, shapes, and ecological roles. Understanding the diverse world of mammals is essential for protecting biodiversity and maintaining ecosystem health, as these creatures play crucial roles in their environments.
