This substantial volume showcases 35 of the presentations delivered
at the 5th International Brachiopod Congress in Copenhagen. The
brachiopod congresses are a focus for cutting-edge research in
brachiopod palaeontology and neontology. The presentations from the
Copenhagen Congress cover a wide range of material from basic
morphology and taxonomy through advances in molecular phylogeny and
ultrastructural studies to the biogeography and palaeoecology of
the phylum. About 75% of the papers relate to fossil brachiopods
and the rest to living forms The following fields are represented
in the volume: Taxonomy/Morphology (25%), Ecology/Palaeoecology
(35%) and Stratigraphy/Biogeography (20%), phylogeny (10%) and
Biochemistry/Genetics (10%). The volume is beautifully illustrated
throughout and the papers together represent an exciting snapshot
of contemporary brachiopod research as it continues into the third
millennium.
