Methods in Paleoecology Reconstructing Cenozoic Terrestrial Environments and Ecological Communities /

This volume focuses on the reconstruction of past ecosystems and provides a comprehensive review of current techniques and their application in exemplar studies. The 18 chapters address a wide variety of topics that span vertebrate paleobiology and paleoecology (body mass, postcranial functional mor...
