Description for Arthropod Fossils and Phylogeny
Hardback. Each of the contributors to this book addresses a major issue in arthropod diversity by reviewing evidence of key fossils from a common perspective, and examining the interplay between extinct and extant species through inference of the structure of the arthropod evolutionary tree. Editor(s): Edgecombe, Gregory D. Num Pages: 347 pages, 51 illus,17 photos. BIC Classification: GBC; RBX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 189 x 264 x 27. Weight in Grams: 846.
What light do fossils shed on the deep history of life's most diverse phylum, the Arthropoda? Are the interrelationships between major groups of arthropods-crustaceans, chelicerates, and tracheates-resolved the same way whether or not fossils are included? How should we combine evidence from extinct and extant taxa? These are the central questions of Arthropod Fossils and Phylogeny. Many recent controversies in arthropod evolution have been initiated by new fossil discoveries and new interpretations of early fossils. This book examines the role that these finds and ideas have played in understanding the deep evolutionary history of arthropods. The authors of the ... Read more
