The Palaeobiogeography of China
1994Abstract This book makes accessible to a wide readership, unique and important research on the biology and geological history of China. Previously only available in Chinese, this information provides a comprehensive survey and analysis of the biogeography of all major groups of fossil organisms throughout the Phanerozoic.

Palaeobiogeography of Ordovician calcareous algae
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1990Abstract From the study of Ordivician algal microfloras the following can be concluded: during the Early Ordovician, the algal microflora is scantly, but cosmopolitan, and different from that of the Upper Cambrian. Its cosmopolitan character seems to denote the absence of a climatic gradient during that time.

The palaeobiogeography of Permian anomodonts
Terra Nova, 1992ABSTRACTIt is generally considered that the oldest anomodont mammal‐like reptiles are known from Late Permian sediments of the USSR and that during the rest of the Late Permian distribution of these fossils widens to encompass nearly all geographical areas by the end of the Period.This study reviews the occurrence of anomodont genera in Permian ...

The Palaeobiogeography of the Blastoidea (Echinodermata)
Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 1990Abstract The 100 blastoid genera are known from some 1500 localities on every continent except Antarctica. Although fissiculates were more geographically widespread than spiraculates, the spiraculates tended to dominate most faunas numerically. The typical blastoid genus is monospecific, relatively short lived (range limited to some part of a

Palaeobiogeography of Australian fossil amphibians
Historical Biology, 2001Australia has representatives of the earliest known tetrapod vertebrates from the Late Devonian and evidence that their amphibian descendants survived here at least until the Visean.

Palaeobiogeography of the Early Cretaceous corals
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1992Abstract A compilation of the geographical distribution of about 1000 species of corals from the Early Cretaceous (Valanginian to Cenomanian) is presented. After the reefal regression during the latest Jurassic, no corals appear in the Berriasian, and only a few species are known from the Valanginian and Hauterivian.

The palaeobiogeography of the east Antarctic freshwater fauna
2008The mechanisms and timing of the colonisation of Antarctica by lacustrine freshwater fauna are unclear. Three scenarios are possible: anthropogenic introduction, dispersal to the continent following late Pleistocene or Holocene deglaciation, and survival of preglacial species in lacustrine refugia.

Palaeobiogeography of Mesozoic Mammals – Revisited
2012The fossil record of mammals in the Mesozoic is decidedly meagre in comparison to that of the Cainozoic, but some useful generalisations can be drawn about the biogeographic history of this group during the Mesozoic. Compared with the Jurassic, when cosmopolitanism was frequent among the mammalian families, regionalism became more pronounced in the ...

Phylogeny and palaeobiogeography of hadrosaurian dinosaurs
Nature, 1979MOST geologists agree on the placement of the continents at the end of the Cretaceous. Palaeobiologists, however, hold divergent opinions1,2. Some workers connect South America to Africa, some connect it only to North America, while others isolate South America totally.
