The 18 chapters address a wide variety of topics that span vertebrate paleobiology and paleoecology (body mass, postcranial functional morphology, evolutionary dental morphology, microwear and mesowear, ecomorphology, mammal community structure analysis), contextual paleoenvironmental studies (paleosols and sedimentology, ichnofossils, pollen, phytoliths, plant macrofossils), and special techniques (bone microstructure, biomineral isotopes, inorganic isotopes, 3-D morphometrics, and ecometric modeling). A final chapter discusses how to integrate results of these studies with taphonomic data in order to more accurately characterize an ancient ecosystem..Current investigators, advanced undergraduates, and graduate students interested in the field of paleoecology will find this book immensely useful. The length and structure of the volume also makes it suitable for teaching a college-level course on reconstructing Cenozoic ecosystems.. | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | reconstructing cenozoic terrestrial environments; trace fossils in paleoenvironmental reconstructions | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-94265-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-94265-0Series ISSN 1877-9077 Series E-ISSN 1877-9085 | issn_series | 1877-9077 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018 |
