Re: Mammal database?

I need to collect a list of mammals by weight, i.e. 1-20lbs, 21-40lbs,
etc.
Are there any online database that have this type of information?

I was going to suggest a search on "allometric equation mammals", since
this type of research on scaling often correlates various parameters with
body weight and might have such lists. I did do a quick search on google
and did not come up with much. Unfortunately most of the published papers
just show the graphs and not the raw data. But maybe varying the search
terms a little may get you to a useful site.

Good luck!

Yours,

Bill Morse
