Description for Paleontology in Ecology and Conservation
Hardcover. This, the first book on paleontology to focus specifically on ecology and conservation science, shows how the long-term insights provided in the fossil record inform our understanding of ecosystem dynamics in ways that the analysis of modern systems cannot. Editor(s): Louys, Julien. Series: Springer Earth System Sciences. Num Pages: 274 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSAF; RBX; RNK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 163 x 21. Weight in Grams: 558.
The fossil record contains unique long-term insights into how ecosystems form and function which cannot be determined simply by examining modern systems. It also provides a record of endangered species through time, which allow us to make conservation decisions based on thousands to millions of years of information. The aim of this book is to demonstrate how palaeontological data has been or could be incorporated into ecological or conservation scientific studies. This book will be written by palaeontologists for modern ecologists and conservation scientists. Manuscripts will fall into one (or a combination) of four broad categories: case studies, review articles, ... Read more

The greatest strength of the book is that it teaches conservation planners how to access the vertebrate paleontological record, in order to extract the long-term demographic data that ... Read more
