Aims & Scope Topics in Geobiology Book Series
Topics in Geobiology series treats geobiology – the broad discipline that covers
the history of life on Earth. The series aims for high-quality, scholarly volumes
of original research as well as broad reviews. Recent volumes have showcased a
variety of organisms including cephalopods, corals, and rodents. They discuss the
biology of these organisms – their ecology, phylogeny, and mode of life – and in
addition, their fossil record, i.e., their distribution in time and space.
Other volumes are more theme-based such as predator–prey relationships,
skeletal mineralization, paleobiogeography, and approaches to high-resolution
stratigraphy, and cover a broad range of organisms. One theme that is at the heart of
the series is the interplay between the history of life and the changing environment.
This is treated in skeletal mineralization and how such skeletons record environ-
mental signals and animal–sediment relationships in the marine environment.
The series editors also welcome any comments or suggestions for future
volumes.
