1 The Age of Dinosaurs in India -- 2 New fossil evidence for the presence of ornithischian and saurischian remains in the Jurassic of India -- 3 A minuscule tribosphenic mammal from an Early Cretaceous palaeopolar location of Australia -- 4 The largest toothed monotreme (new genus new species) from the early Cretaceous of Lightning Ridge, NSW, Australia -- 5 Molluscan fauna from the Upper Cretaceous Deccan intertrappean beds of central India: palaeobiogeographic significance -- 6 Chelonian Pelomedusoides remains from the Late Cretaceous of southwestern India: Systematics and palaeobiogeographical implications -- 7 The global affinities of Cretaceous and Paleogene Indian faunas: complex biogeography of a subcontinental raft -- 8 Anuran lissamphibians and squamate reptiles from Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Deccan intertrappean sites from central India, with a review of a lissamphibians and squamates diversity in the northward drifting Indian plate -- 9 Plant-derived biomarker signatures during the northward flight of India -- 10 Isolated Africa: Review and a palaeobiological scenario -- 11 Biogeography of Eocene mammals, continental and marine, in relation to the tectonic history of Indo-Pakistan -- 12 New specimens of Frugivastodon (Mammalia: Apatotheria) from the early Eocene of India confirm its apatemyid status and elucidate dispersal of Apatemyidae -- 13 Indohyus, endemic radiation of raoellid artiodactyls after continental collision in the Eocene of India and Pakistan -- 14 Do the size variation(s) within non-volant mammals and the known evolutionary relationship(s) of the large-sized perissodactyls from the Cambay Shale (western India) point to a short-lived corridor for secular migration(s) between India and Eurasia prior to ~54.5 Ma? -- 15 Parallel evolution of giant Anseriformes (Aves) in the Cenzoic of Laurasia, South America and Australia -- 16 Depositional biofacies of the Middle Eocene Subathu Formation of the Himalayan foreland basin in the context of India-Asia collision tectonics -- 17 Role of plate tectonics and climate in the geographical distribution of Indian late Cretaceous-early Palaeogene angiosperm flora -- 18 Post-collisional climate of India and implications for Neogene-Quaternary mammalian dispersals -- 19 Murine diversification in the Indian cradle: Coalescence of the Erimanthos-Apodus-Mus groups before 11 Ma.
