Global Biogeography traces global changes in geography and biology from the Precambrian to the Recent (with worldwide coverage in chronological order); examines the evolutionary effects of the major extinctions, and discusses contemporary biogeographic regions within the context of their historic origins. It is now apparent that the biotas of the various biogeographical regions have had, and still maintain, a dynamic relationship with one another; much more than 410 0$aDevelopments in palaeontology and stratigraphy ;$v14. 606 $aBiogeography 606 $aPaleobiogeography 606 $aBiodiversity 615 0$aBiogeography. 615 0$aPaleobiogeography. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 676 $a574.9 700 $aBriggs$b John C$0173772 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911004699303321 996 $aGlobal biogeography$94388415 997 $aUNINA
