Description for Southern Hemisphere Palaeobiogeography of Triassic-Jurassic Marine Bivalves
Paperback. Shows latitudinal gradients and distributional patterns, both at regional and global scales, which are the basis for the recognition of biochoremas or palaeobiogeographical units of different ranks. This title provides interesting insight into particular biogeographical questions, such as bipolarity and its origin. Series: SpringerBriefs in Earth System Sciences. Num Pages: 147 pages, 13 black & white illustrations, 34 colour illustrations, 8 black & white tables, biograph. BIC Classification: PST; RBGF; RBX; RGM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 13. Weight in Grams: 237.
Palaeobiogeography is a complex subject which processes information provided by both Biology and Earth Sciences. It is conceptually and philosophically equivalent to neobiogeography. Nevertheless, its methods are somewhat different, since it is limited by the incompleteness of the fossil record. On the other hand, it has direct access to the time dimension, a key ingredient of organic evolution. Mesozoic benthonic mollusks, and especially bivalves, have a great potential for palaeobiogeographical analysis due to their commonly good preservation, abundance, diversity and high dispersion potential at the larval stage. From a merely descriptive point of view, the analysis of their distribution shows ... Read more
