Advancement in evolutionary theories -- Chapter 2. Macroevolution in extinct species -- Chapter 3. Comparative trends in evolution across correlated geological strata -- Chapter 4. Evolution in modern and extinct species.      . 330 $aThe prerequisite to investigating the underlying causes behind mass extinction is a profound understanding of the evolutionary history of both living and dead species. It is especially important to appreciate the significance of such studies in extinct organisms; especially in organisms that were abundant in a certain geologic era, but have subsequently dwindled or become extinct. Such studies should help to accurately evaluate patterns of evolution in extinct species lineages and help predict the same in its modern analogs. The book includes cutting edge research in evolutionary biology that should serve as a starting point for conservation. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Evolutionary Biology,$x2192-8134 606 $aMacroevolution 606 $aEvolutionary paleobiology 615 0$aMacroevolution. 615 0$aEvolutionary paleobiology. 676 $a577.09989 700 $aBose$b Rituparna$01058870 701 $aBartholomew$b Alexander J$01755458 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739425103321 996 $aMacroevolution in deep time$94192242 997 $aUNINA
