<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>One of the most important questions we can ask about life is "Does ecology matter?" Most biologists and paleontologists are trained to answer "yes," but the exact mechanisms by which ecology matters in the context of patterns that play out over millions of years have never been entirely clear. This book examines these mechanisms and looks at how ancient environments affected evolution, focusing on long-term macroevolutionary changes as seen in the fossil record.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>One of the most important questions we can ask about life is "Does ecology matter?"

Beginning with the initial research studies of Charles Darwin, biologists, paleontologists, researchers, and students are attempting to grasp the underlying concepts of how the mechanisms by which ecological patterns and evolutionary processes work.--Southeastern Naturalist<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Warren D.
