It provides both a critical jumping off point for a guided exploration of the technical literature and enough structure to design a class or seminar around, which is one of its greatest strengths. The volume should be a valued reference for the professional as well, particularly its extensive references and numerous figures. A book such as this is sorely needed in the field today, and shines in its ability to connect patterns found in ancient organisms to the present and future health of the biosphere.’ \u003cb\u003eThe Quarterly Review of Biology, 92:4 (2017)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Overview 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Deep time and actualism in paleoecological reconstruction 10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Ecology, paleoecology, and evolutionary paleoecology 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Taphonomy 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Bioturbation and trace fossils 52\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Microbial structures 64\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Across the great divide: Precambrian to Phanerozoic paleoecology 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Phanerozoic level-bottom marine environments 95\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Reefs, shell beds, cold seeps, and hydrothermal vents 114\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Pelagic ecosystems 128\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Terrestrial ecosystems 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Ecological change through time 153\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Ecological consequences of mass extinctions 175\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Conservation paleoecology 203\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 217\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eColor plate pages fall between pp. 1 and 42\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49528829641047,"sku":"9781118455869","price":130.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781118455869.jpg?v=1731873183","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/paleoecology-9781118455869","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
