Tyler Faith -- Paleoecology and conservation paleobiology : future directions / Julien Louys. The fossil record contains unique long-term insights into how ecosystems form and function which cannot be determined simply by examining modern systems. It also provides a record of endangered species through time, which allow us to make conservation decisions based on thousands to millions of years of information. The aim of this book is to demonstrate how palaeontological data has been or could be incorporated into ecological or conservation scientific studies. This book has been written by paleontologists, taphonomists and zooarcheologists for modern ecologists and conservation scientists. Topics covered include a history of the role of paleontology in ecology, the issue of scale in paleoecology, taphonomy, climate change and the fossil record, ecomorphology, paleozoology and zoogeography. This book highlights the unique and critical insights that can be gained by the inclusion of paleontological data into modern ecology or conservation science, and examines future directions for multidisciplinary studies seeking to examine ecological and conservation processes in deep time.
