Biostratigraphy and Paleobiogeography of the Proterozoic
1992Biostratigraphy deals with bodies of rock defined or characterized by their fossil content. Biogeography is concerned with the geographic distribution of organisms. The basic biostratigraphic principles and concepts now in use were developed in the early- to mid-nineteenth century by pioneers such as William Smith (1769–1839), Georges Cuvier (1769–1832)

The field of paleobiogeography is derived in direct lineage from its close intellectual cousin, biogeography, a scientific discipline that had its birth in the adventurous and exploratory urges of humankind. When people traveled to far-off lands centuries ago they discovered, much to their surprise, that the plants and animals of these lands, as well ...

Paleoenvironment, Tectonics, and Paleobiogeography
2018The Earth experienced dramatic transformations during the Cenozoic, with changing sea levels, climate, and tectonic events having major influences on the global biota. In South America, loss of the connection between Patagonia and Antarctica, Andean orogeny, and formation of the Isthmus of Panama defined the continent, as we know it today. These events

The biostratigraphy and paleobiogeography of Maastrichtian inoceramids
1996The global distribution of Maastrichtian inoceramids is now known in enough detail that the patterns of disappearance can be used to place first-order constraints on paleoceanographic changes that may have occurred during that age. The Inoceramidae is an excellent group to focus on in a study of Maastrichtian events for the following reasons: (1) they ...

Paleogeography, Paleobiogeography, and Anthropoid Origins
1994The study of anthropoid origins has long been tied to hypotheses postulating Eocene dispersal of early anthropoids or their precursors into Africa from Europe (e.g., Gingerich, 1975; Rasmussen and Simons, 1988), from Asia (e.g., Gingerich, 1980; Ciochon and Ghiarelli, 1980; Giochon et al., 1985; Rosenberger, 1986), or from South America (e.g., Szalay ...

Continental Paleobiogeography as Phylogenetic Evidence
2006Morphological convergence between members of clades isolated on different landmasses can mislead phylogenetic analyses, and can imply intercontinental dispersals that are unlikely given reconstructed paleogeography. It is argued here that paleobiogeographic data, like chronostratigraphic data, are relevant to the process of inferring phylogenetic ...

Defining Areas in Paleobiogeography
2000The discipline of biogeography, as has been emphasized repeatedly, was developed because the same species are not found everywhere. Different regions do not have the same complement of species and, moreover, the climate alone is not sufficient explanation for why species are found where they are.

The History of Biogeography and Paleobiogeography
2000Biogeography, as many of the disciplines within the biological sciences, especially those once classified as natural history, has a long and rich past. At different times, different ideas or theories held sway, and these governed how natural historians worked as well as what they looked for.
