内容説明

Representing current research in evolutionary paleobiology, this book provides an overview of this rapidly changing field. An influx of ideas and techniques both from other areas of biology and from within paleobiology itself have resulted in numerous advances, including increased recognition of the relationships between ecological and evolutionary theory. Contributors to this volume present the results of original research and theoretical developments, and aim to provide directions for future studies.
