An Outline of Phanerozoic Biogeography
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The general acceptance of plate tectonics and continental drift by the early 1970s galvanized the study of biogeography from the evolution of multicellular life to the present day. However, until now the accumulated information has been widely scattered in the literature; this book is the first to synthesize the results of over two decades of prolific research into a clear concise format accessible to students of geology, geography, and biology and their teachers.
