. Biology of the Heteromyidae. Heteromyidae. PREFACE. What is the family Heteromyidae? It is the group of exclusively New World rodents that includes the kangaroo rats, pocket mice, and kangaroo mice of the des- ert, grasslands, and shrublands of western North America as well as the spiny and pouched rats of the subtropical shrublands and tropical deciduous and evergreen for- ests of North America, Central America, and northernmost South America. It is a large family, with six genera and 316 spe- cies. Why are these rodents interesting enough to warrant an entire book to review what is known about their biology? The first and most important reason is because hetero- myids have served as model organisms for many kinds of biological studies. In their adaptive radiation to colonize diverse tem- perate and tropical environments, they have acquired specialized morphological, physi- ological, and behavioral characteristics. In their evolutionary diversification in hetero- geneous landscapes, they provide examples of genetic, ecological, and biogeographic processes that have played key roles in spe- ciation and differentiation. In their ecolog- ical responses to spatially and temporally varying environments, they offer insights into the mechanisms that control popula- tion dynamics and determine community composition. Studies of heteromyid rodents have made seminal contributions to com- parative biology, and most of these impor- tant discoveries are reviewed in this vol- ume. A second reason for this review is to syn- thesize the available information on all as- pects of heteromyid biology. Much of what is known about heteromyids was learned by specialists, who elected to study particular species that offered a "good system" for ad- dressing questions in disciplines such as re- nal physiology, cytogenetics, biomechanics, or community ecology. As important as these studies have been, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that they all describe attri- butes of livin
