| Summary |
Presents a review of animal and plant fossil behavior in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. This title includes various subjects and time periods, and compares patterns of behavior and co-evolution. It discusses how to evaluate the rates of evolution of behavior and co-evolution at various taxonomic levels |
| Bibliography |
Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-341) and indexes |
