References
- The intervening 19 chapters of the volume were written by a variety of authorities and are devoted to technical reviews of the currently recognized families of artiodactyls. Specialists will find a wealth of data and analyses in these chapters but probably will be disappointed by the lack of uniformity in coverage. Although some chapters emulate the style characteristic in recent reference works, for example Janis et al. (2008), with comprehensive lists of included taxa as well as stratigraphic and biogeographic data on their occurrences; others do not. On the other hand, the diversity in content of these chapters is of interest in that it mirrors the status of our knowledge of the various families and points to many opportunities for future research.
