Description for Evolutionary Paleoecology
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. Editor(s): Allmon, Warren D.; Bottjer, David J. Num Pages: 320 pages, 31 art pieces. BIC Classification: RBX; RN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 229 x 152 x 25. Weight in Grams: 590.
One of the most important questions we can ask about life is "Does ecology matter?" Most biologists and paleontologists are trained to answer "yes," but the exact mechanisms by which ecology matters in the context of patterns that play out over millions of years have never been entirely clear. This book examines these mechanisms and looks at how ancient environments affected evolution, focusing on long-term macroevolutionary changes as seen in the fossil record. Evolutionary paleoecology is not a new discipline. Beginning with Darwin, researchers have attempted to understand how the environment has affected evolutionary history. But as we learn ... Read more

Reviews for Evolutionary Paleoecology
With an in-depth look at how ancient environments affected evolution, this book focuses in on the long-term macro-evolutionary changes revealed through fossil records. Beginning with the initial research studies of Charles Darwin, biologists, paleontologists, researchers, and students are attempting to grasp the underlying concepts of how the mechanisms by which ecological patterns and evolutionary processes work.
