Book Description:

In this volume, international experts on ammonoids are brought together to discuss evolutionary issues relating to this group. Special emphasis is given to the organic and environmental factors that may have influenced rates of speciation and extinction. The effects of climate and changes in sea level, global factors constraining evolution, the nature, causes, and periodicity of extinctions are among the themes explored. This book should thus be of interest to palaeobiologists and...
More DescriptionIn this volume, international experts on ammonoids are brought together to discuss evolutionary issues relating to this group. Special emphasis is given to the organic and environmental factors that may have influenced rates of speciation and extinction. The effects of climate and changes in sea level, global factors constraining evolution, the nature, causes, and periodicity of extinctions are among the themes explored. This book should thus be of interest to palaeobiologists and evolutionary biologists generally as well as to palaeontologists who are specifically concerned with the ammonoids.
