Palaeobiogeography of Australian fossil amphibians

Historical Biology, 2001
Australia 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 Australian Devonian gastropods

Historical Biology, 2001
Australian gastropod faunas of Devonian age have received comparatively little attention. The occurrences of key gastropod taxa in the Devonian of Australia are reviewed. High levels of endemism of species in the Early Devonian are overprinted by Old World affinities at the generic and familial levels.

Palaeogene palaeobiogeography of the Indian subcontinent

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1974
Abstract Certain palaeoecological criteria in the reconstruction of the Palaeogene palaeobiogeography of the Indian subcontinent are discussed. The Early Palaeogene is characterised by marine oscillations, a prolific invertebrate fauna, extensive coal facies development and outpouring of basaltic lava flows, the last being a feature connected with ...

Palaeobiogeography of Famennian (Late Devonian) bryozoans

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2010
Abstract Bryozoans were widely distributed in marine habitats of the Famennian (Late Devonian) worldwide. This time interval was marked by gradual change in taxonomic composition of bryozoan faunas, which were insignificantly affected by global events (Upper Kellwasser, Handerberg). Distribution of bryozoan faunas was controlled by intrinsic factors (

Western Pacific Permian marine invertebrate palaeobiogeography∗

Australian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1996
Data matrices of the presence/absence occurrence data of brachiopod genera from faunal stations throughout the western Pacific region for the Asselian‐Tastubian, Sterlitamakian‐Aktastinian, Baigendzhinian‐Early Kungurian and Kazanian‐Midian time slices of the Permian Period have been analysed by cluster analysis, non‐metric multidimensional scaling and

Early Permian (Cisuralian) global brachiopod palaeobiogeography

Gondwana Research, 2013
Abstract Palaeobiogeography of four consecutive Early Permian (Cisuralian) stages is quantitatively analyzed based on a global database of brachiopods consisting of 9131 occurrences, 3003 species of 515 genera of brachiopods from 2757 localities all over the world.

The palaeobiogeography of Permian anomodonts

Terra Nova, 1992
ABSTRACTIt 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 ...

Palaeobiogeography of Mesozoic Mammals – Revisited

2012
The 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 ...

Chapter 14 Palaeobiogeography of Ordovician echinoderms

Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 2013
AbstractThe palaeobiogeographical distribution of the six major clades of Ordovician echinoderms (asterozoans, blastozoans, crinoids, echinozoans, edrioasteroids and stylophorans) is analysed based on a comprehensive and up-to-date database compiling 3701 occurrences (1938 species recorded from 331 localities) of both complete specimens and isolated ...
