ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The author would personally like to thank everybody who contributed directly or indirectly to the production of this volume. Particular thanks to Mariella Superina for helping me track down countless hard to find references, Dr Agustín Abba for his expert advice and photos and Thomas and Sabine Vinke for their valuable firsthand knowledge about the fauna of the Chaco. Dr Isis Medri, Lic. María Cecilia Ezquiaga, William J. Loughry, Steve Eichler, Dr Timothy Gaudin, Thomas Webber, Donald W Duszynski and Dr Guilherme de Miranda all generously assisted with provision of literature and Daniel Hernández with unpublished data from Uruguay. Thanks to Dr Robert Owen and Professor Julio Contreras for always being available to help and for making their respective extensive libraries available to me. For the taxonomic sections of this volume Dr Alfred L. Gardner deserves special mention as the editor of Mammals of South America Vol 1 (2007) as do the various professionals who contributed to its production (which reads like a who´s who of the greatest mammalogists of our age!!) - for the sections relevant to this volume these are in alphabetical order John F Eisenberg, Alfred L Gardner, Kent H Redford and Ralph M Wetzel. This was an indispensable reference upon which I have drawn heavily and without which this volume would be considerably poorer.
Thanks to all who have contributed photographs, data and material to FAUNA Paraguay www.faunaparaguay.com, especially those who have contributed directly to this volume: Hugo del Castillo, Arne Lesterhuis, Karen Penayo Álvarez, Marcelo Bombaci, Sylvia Centrón, Pro Cosara and Hans Hostettler, Enrique Bragyrac, José Luis Cartes, Para La Tierra, Thomas & Sabine Vinke and an anonymous photographer. Thanks also to those who have accompanied me in the field during the collection of data used in this volume, especially Hugo del Castillo, Karina Atkinson, Adam Betuel, Sylvia Centrón, Emma Northcote-Smith, Mario Torales and Hemme Batjes. Finally my thanks to those others who I have inadvertently, but almost certainly, forgotten to mention!
The FAUNA Paraguay Handbook of the Mammals of Paraguay should be seen as a work in progress and will be updated as and when new material is published or becomes available. If you would like to contribute to future editions or have any comments, queries or corrections related to this volume, you can email the author at:
