Arthropod fossils and phylogeny

Gregory D. Edgecombe

"Many recent controversies in arthropod evolution have been initiated by new fossil discoveries and new interpretations of early fossils. This book examines the role that these finds and ideas have played in understanding the evolutionary history of arthropods. The authors of the book's seven chapters have been at the forefront of this research.". "The book will be a vital resource for paleontologists, researchers on extant arthropods interested in fossil history, and evolutionists concerned with how different kinds of systematic data should be analyzed."--BOOK JACKET.
