- Summary:
- Containing papers by leading authorities on several of the major extinction events of the geological record, this volume brings together new data on a wide range of floral and faunal groups. Several of the papers describe the recovery and recolonization processes following the extinction events while others discuss the problems of 'survivor taxa', 'disaster taxa' and 'progenitor species'. The examples chosen come from geological successions in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and the Indian Subcontinent.
