Paleobiology's golden age

PALAIOS, 1986
Research on fossils in the past four decades has greatly improved our understanding of the history of life. This has truly been the golden age of paleobiology, characterized by model-making and the testing of concepts. It has been a time of new techniques, great discoveries, synthesis, and the questioning and debating of ideas and directions long taken

Taphonomy and paleobiology

Paleobiology, 2000
Taphonomy plays diverse roles in paleobiology. These include assessing sample quality relevant to ecologic, biogeographic, and evolutionary questions, diagnosing the roles of various taphonomic agents, processes and circumstances in generating the sedimentary and fossil records, and reconstructing the dynamics of organic recycling over time as a part ...

Arthropod paleobiology

Paleobiology, 1985
An international conference on “Fossil Arthropods as Living Animals” was held at the Royal Society of Edinburgh on October 25–27, 1984. Major international conferences devoted to fossil arthropods are rare events. The previous one, which was held in Oslo in July 1973 as a NATO Advanced Study Institute, resulted in a volume on ...

Biogeography and paleobiology

Paleobiology, 1985
In the past decade paleobiologists have applied the techniques of both ecological and historical biogeography, although vicariance/cladistic approaches have as yet had minimal impact. The traditional focus of paleobiogeographic study has been the province, a statistical entity defined by clusters of range endpoints of individual ...
