Biodiversity in Space and Time

By Upchurch, Paul McGowan, Alistair Slater, Claire

£76.99 25 Oct 2011 Hardback Taylor & Francis Inc

Biogeography represents one of the most complex and challenging aspects of macroevolutionary research, requiring input from both the earth and life sciences. Researchers with backgrounds in geology and paleontology are frequently responsible for palaeogeographic reconstruction despite having little familiarity with current biogeographic techniques. Conversely, biogeographic methods are often devised by neonatologists who are typically less familiar with the fossil record, stratigraphy, and palaeogeography. This volume brings together both approaches to create a more thorough picture of biodiversity in space and time. This goal is greatly aided by an emphasis on electronic resources, analytical software, and data currently available on open-access websites.
