9780849398827SCHREIBERBiology of Marine BirdsMarine Biology1Hardback16/08/2001106.24482Marine & Aquatic ScienceZoologyBiology of Marine Birds provides the only complete summary of information about marine birds ever published. It analyzes their breeding biology, ecology, taxonomy, evolution, fossil history, physiology, energetics, and conservation. The book covers four orders of marine birds in detail and includes two summary chapters that address the biology of shorebirds and wading birds and their lives in the marine environment. Summary tables give detailed information on various aspects of their life histories, breeding biology, physiology and energetics, and demography. It provides a guide to ornithologists and students for research projects.744

9780748409211BRUNTONBrachiopodsSystematics Association Special Volumes1Hardback29/11/2001182.16Natural History ZoologyThe growth history of a brachiopod is entombed in its shell, but research on fossil and living brachiopods has generated unanswered questions about these marine invertebrates. Several contributors to Brachiopods Past and Present comment on their differing structures and morphological detail. They use these as examples of ontogenetic and evolutionary change, as indicators of taxonomic relationships, or to discuss micro-structural shell morphology. Population studies of various species and recent progress in molecular phylogeny are presented. This single compilation is a must for postgraduate students and researchers in evolution, zoology, geology, palaeontology and related fields.460

9780849316326PETUCHCenozoic Seas-1Hardback29/12/2003203.412Marine & Aquatic ScienceNatural History This guide analyzes the changing geography, the arrival and departures of ecosystems and species, and the affect of climate on living things in the prehistoric seas of the eastern U.S. The author classifies all of the region's fossil-bearing formations and their contents within a logical, descriptive framework, allowing a determination of how community types were affected by geography and climate. This enables a study of life in the environmental and biotic contexts in which evolution, invasion, and extinction occur. The book is also an excellent field guide for fossil collectors, providing a detailed narrative for all species illustrated. Many organisms have never before been illustrated in a book on fossil shells.328

9780415233705AHLBERGMajor Events in Early Vertebrate EvolutionSystematics Association Special Volumes1Hardback15/02/2001116.87082Natural History ZoologyAdvances in molecular biology and developmental genetics have contributed to a wealth of new data on the major steps in vertebrate evolution. This volume documents this rapidly developing research and shows how phylogenetics and developmental biology can provide complementary and mutually supportive information about evolutionary events. It brings together contributions from internationally-respected authors from the fields of palaeontology, comparative morphology and developmental genetics. The book is broad enough to appeal to evolutionary biologists and developmental biologists at postgraduate and post-doctorate levels. It is a useful reading for senior undergraduates studying biology, zoology, or developmental biology.448

It describes Chesapeake molluscan faunas in terms of local geography, paleoceanography, and marine paleobiology. Organized by stratigraphic geography, the book covers fossils of the Eastover, St Mary¿s, Choptank, and Calvert Formations. It illustrates 10 classic Miocene exposures along with close-up photos of various Miocene shell beds, molluscan assemblages, and individual in situ specimens. It includes a CD-ROM with color illustrations.168

Cecca uses the palaeobiogeography of fossil organisms to generate hypotheses on continental drifting, past migration routes, palaeobiodiversity gradients, geographic barriers, palaeoclimatic and paleooceanographic conditions. He explores the biogeographical dimension of biodiversity through the analysis of existing latitudinal and longitudinal gradients of biodiversity and discusses the biodiversity/area relationship with particular reference to sea-level variations.286
