Fossils, Phylogeny, and Form : An Analytical Approach Paperback / softback
Edited by Jonathan M. Adrain, Gregory D. Edgecombe, Bruce S. Lieberman
Part of the Topics in Geobiology series
Paperback / softback
Description
Phylogenetic analysis and morphometrics have been developed by biologists into rigorous analytic tools for testing hypotheses about the relationships between groups of species.
This book applies these tools to paleontological data.
The fossil record is our one true chronicle of the history of life, preserving a set of macroevolutionary patterns; thus various hypotheses about evolutionary processes can be tested in the fossil record using phylogentic analysis and morphometrics.
The first book of its type, Fossils, Phylogeny, and Form will be useful in evolutionary biology, paleontology, systematics, evolutionary development, theoretical biology, biogeography, and zoology.
It will also provide a practical, researcher-friendly gateway into computer-based phylogenetics and morphometrics.
