Hardback. Editor(s): Mangano, M. Gabriela; Buatois, Luis A. Series: Topics in Geobiology. Num Pages: 480 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSAF; RBX; RGM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 0. .
This volume addresses major evolutionary changes that took place during the Ediacaran and the Paleozoic. These include discussions on the nature of Ediacaran ecosystems, as well as the ichnologic signature of evolutionary radiations, such as the Cambrian explosion and the Great Ordovician biodiversification event, the invasion of the land, and the end-Permian mass extinction. This volume set provides innovative reviews of the major evolutionary events in the history of life from an ichnologic perspective. Because the long temporal range of trace fossils has been commonly emphasized, biogenic structures have been traditionally overlooked in macroevolution. However, comparisons of ... Read more

About M. Gabriela Mangano (Ed.)
Gabriela Mangano got her PhD at the University of Buenos Aires. Since 2004, she is with the University of Saskatchewan (Canada), where she is a Professor. Gabriela's research interests are in the field of animal substrate interactions (Ichnology) and their significance in evolutionary paleoecology. During the last years, she has been particularly interested on the trace fossils associated with Burgess ... Read more
Reviews for The Trace-Fossil Record of Major Evolutionary Events: Volume 1: Precambrian and Paleozoic
The two volumes of The Trace-Fossil Record of Major Evolutionary Events cover trace fossils and the nature of the behavior of past organisms to an amazing degree and go well beyond singular evolutionary events. ... The books are a great resource for both seasoned academics and those who are just starting to learn about the whole range of fossil types ... Read more
