In this complete and thorough update of Arthur Boucot's seminal
work, Evolutionary Paleobiology of Behavior and Coevolution, Boucot
is joined by George Poinar, who provides additional expertise and
knowledge on protozoans and bacteria as applied to disease.
Together, they make the Fossil Behavior Compendium wider in scope,
covering all relevant animal and plant groups and all epochs, and
providing a detailed review of animal and plant fossil behavior in
terrestrial and aquatic environments. Fossil behavior encompasses
not only past evidence of the life history of an organism but also
behavioral, predation, and symbiotic interactions, including
parasitism. This book compares patterns of behavior and coevolution
in the past with those of the present-day descendants. It also
discusses how to evaluate the rates of evolution of behavior and
coevolution at various taxonomic levels. The compendium emphasizes
the interactions between fossils and compares these interactions
with present-day counterparts. It also provides new discussions on
topics related to fossils in amber. Keeping Boucot's trademark,
easy-to-read style, the book includes new findings never published
previously, reports not easily accessed, numerous examples, 40
tables, 285 illustrations-some published here for the first
time-and a four-page color insert. The book provides a concise
account of the evidence for varied disease types recognized to date
in the fossil record.
