Palaeobiogeography of Marine Fossil Invertebrates

Combining coverage of theoretical concepts with descriptions of analytical methods, Fabrizio Cecca discusses general biogeographical concepts and the factors influencing distributional patterns using illustrative case histories. Cecca uses the palaeobiogeography of fossil organisms to generate hypotheses on continental drifting, past migration routes, palaeobiodiversity gradients, geographic barriers, palaeoclimatic and paleooceanographic conditions. He explores the biogeographical dimension of biodiversity through the analysis of existing latitudinal and longitudinal gradients of biodiversity and discusses the biodiversity/area relationship with particular reference to sea-level variations.Bonnett, Raymond is the author of 'Palaeobiogeography of Marine Fossil Invertebrates', published 2002 under ISBN 9780415287890 and ISBN 0415287898.
