Title: Paleobiogeography
First published: 2000
Description: "Paleobiogeography emphasizes how analytical techniques from phylogenetic biogeography can be applied to the study of patterns in the fossil record. In doing this, it considers the strengths and weaknesses of paleobiogeographic data, the effects of plate tectonic processes (specifically continental rifting and collision) and changes in relative sea level in terms of how they influence the evolution and distribution of organisms."--BOOK JACKET.
