The Isotopic Ecology of Fossil Vertebrates and Conservation Paleobiology
—Over the past 50,000 years, global ecosystems have experienced substantial shifts in composition and function as a result of climate change and the direct and/or indirect impact of humans. Studies of how species and ecosystems responded to these changes and characterization of the ecology of past ecosystems provide unique perspectives for conservation biology and restoration ecology. Stable is...
متن کاملThe cambrian fossil record and the origin of the phyla.
Whilst the "Cambrian Explosion" continues to attract much attention from a wide range of earth and life scientists, the detailed patterns exhibited by the terminal Proterozoic-Early Cambrian biotas remain unclear, for reasons of systematics, biostratigraphy and biogeography. In particular, recent changes in absolute dating of the Cambrian have refined the period of time that the fossil record m...
متن کاملAt the Origin of Animals: The Revolutionary Cambrian Fossil Record
The certain fossil record of animals begins around 540 million years ago, close to the base of the Cambrian Period. A series of extraordinary discoveries starting over 100 years ago with Walcott's discovery of the Burgess Shale has accelerated in the last thirty years or so with the description of exceptionally-preserved Cambrian fossils from around the world. Such deposits of "Burgess Shale Ty...
متن کاملThe paleobiology of Amphipithecidae, South Asian late Eocene primates.
Analysis of the teeth, orbital, and gnathic regions of the skull, and fragmentary postcranial bones provides evidence for reconstructing a behavioral profile of Amphipithecidae: Pondaungia, Amphipithecus, Myanmarpithecus (late middle Eocene, Myanmar) and Siamopithecus (late Eocene, Thailand). At 5-8 kg, Pondaungia, Amphipithecus, and Siamopithecus are perhaps the largest known Eocene primates. ...
