Paleoecology is a discipline that uses evidence from fossils to
provide an understanding of ancient environments and the ecological
history of life through geological time. This text covers the
fundamental approaches that have provided the foundation for
present paleoecological understanding, and outlines new research
areas in paleoecology for managing future environmental and
ecological change. Topics include the use of actualism in
paleoecology, development of paleoecological models for
paleoenvironmental reconstruction, taphonomy and exceptional fossil
preservation, evolutionary paleoecology and ecological change
through time, and conservation paleoecology. Data from studies of
invertebrates, vertebrates, plants and microfossils, with added
emphasis on bioturbation and microbial sedimentary structures, are
discussed. Examples from marine and terrestrial environments are
covered, with a particular focus on periods of great ecological
change, such as the Precambrian-Cambrian transition and intervals
of mass extinction. Readership: This book is designed for advanced
undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the earth and
biological sciences, as well as researchers and applied scientists
in a range of related disciplines.
