Paleolimnology is a rapidly developing science that is now being
used to study a suite of environmental and ecological problems.
This volume is the fourth handbook in the Developments in
Paleoenvironmental Research book series. The first volume (Last
& Smol, 2001a) examined the acquisition and archiving of
sediment cores, chronological techniques, and large-scale basin
analysis methods. Volume 2 (Last & Smol, 2001b) focused on
physical and chemical methods. Volume 3 (Smol et al. , 2001), along
with this book, summarize the many biological methods and
techniques that are available to study long-term environmental
changeusing information preserved in sedimentary profiles. A
subsequent volume (Birks et al. , in preparation) will deal with
statistical and data handling procedures. It is our intent that
these books will provide sufficient detail and breadth to be useful
handbooks for both seasoned practitioners as well as newcomers to
the area of paleolimnology. These books will also hopefully be
useful to non-paleolimnologists (e. g. , limnologists,
archeologists, palynologists, geographers, geologists, etc. ) who
continue to hear and read about pal- limnology, but have little
chance to explore the vast and sometimes difficult to access
journal-based reference material for this rapidly expanding field.
Although the chapters in these volumes target mainly lacustrine
settings, many of the techniques described can also be readily
applied to fluvial, glacial, marine, estuarine, and peatland
environments. This current volume focuses on zoological indicators
preserved in lake sediments, whilst Volume 3 focused on
terrestrial, algal, and siliceous indicators.
