Palaeogeography and palaeobiogeography: biodiversity in space and time

Based on contributions for eminent experts in both fields, this book bridges the gap between palaeogeographers and palaeobiographers, two communities of researchers who work on the same issues but typically use different types of data. It emphasizes the availability and use of electronic resources and analytical software. It also covers the burgeoning array of software packages that store and manipulate spatial data, allow palaeogeographic maps to be drawn and used to plot spatial distributions, and utilize analytical methods that reconstruct the biogeographic histories of taxa.
