Book Description

This volume presents the recent work of an international group of 46 brachiopodologists from 19 countries. Topics discussed in detail in this volume range from aspects of the early development, shell growth, and skeletal crystallography and nanostructure of brachiopods, to observations on the ecology of living and fossil species. The volume also deals with the latest developments in our understanding of the evolution of the shells of brachiopods and the skeletons of other possible lophophorates, the investigation of brachiopods from inaccessible areas, and collections of particular systematic/phylogenetic interest. In addition, one new order, one new subfamily, two new genera and eleven new species are established in this volume. The volume includes 124 text-figures, 30 plates and 23 tables.

Book Description

What does it mean to be at the forefront of a characterization technique? Novel implementation and research, finding new ways to visualize composites, and new techniques all play a role. Yet with the myriad of advances in the field, keeping up with new and advanced techniques, often from many different areas, has become a challenge. Biomineralizati

Book Description

The leading textbook in its field, this work applies paleobiological principles to the fossil record while detailing the evolutionary history of major plant and animal phyla. It incorporates current research from biology, ecology, and population genetics. Written for biology and geology undergrads, the text bridges the gap between purely theoretical paleobiology and solely descriptive invertebrate paleobiology books, emphasizing the cataloguing of live organisms over dead objects. This third edition revises art and research throughout, expands the coverage of invertebrates, includes a discussion of new methodologies, and adds a chapter on the origin and early evolution of life.
