This study, written by an internationally respected author of palaeontological books from student to professional levels, is the first to synthesize this research. The introductory chapters deal with the historical background, the major factors influencing the\n\u003cbr\u003edistribution of organisms, methods of biogeographic analysis, and the major events of the Phanerozoic.  These are followed by concise reviews of the changing terrestrial and marine biogeographic patterns,\n\u003cbr\u003eas indicated by the fossil record, over successive eras, and an attempt to explain the patterns observed.  The comprehensive bibliography provided allows readers to follow up material in greater depth. the book is a concise overview of a large body of material, presented in a manner that will be accessible to students and teachers of palaeontology who are interested in biogeography, to geologists who need to know more about the use of fossils in tectonic reconstructions,\n\u003cbr\u003eand to biologists requiring historical insights into the distributions of living organisms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46058448486638,"sku":"9780198540601","price":136.15,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198540601.jpg?v=1736475878","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/an-outline-of-phanerozoic-biogeography","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
