Hardback. Can fossil embryos demonstrate evolutionary changes in reproductive modes? How have changes in ocean chemistry in the past affected the development of marine organisms? And, what can the microstructure of fossil bone and teeth reveal about maturation time, longevity and changes in growth phases? This book addresses these and other issues.

Hardback. One of the most important questions we can ask about life is "Does ecology matter?" Most biologists and paleontologists are trained to answer "yes". This book examines the mechanisms by which ecology matters in the context of patterns that play out over millions of years and looks at how ancient environments affected evolution.
