More Information
Summary:This compendium provides a detailed review of animal and plant fossil behavior in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. It includes a wide range of subjects and time periods and also compares patterns of behavior and co-evolution in the past with those of the present-day descendants. There is further discussion on how to evaluate the rates of evolution of behavior and co-evolution at various taxonomic levels. Keeping Boucot's trademark, easy-to-read style, the text includes many new findings in amber previously unpublished as well as reports not easily accessible.
