Abstract
This book attempts to provide an overview of the morphometric and phylogenetic perspectives in paleobiology. Our goal is to give a workable review of the issues together with explicit empirical examples. Most importantly, we wish to emphasize the potential of new methodologies to address major questions and problems in paleobiology. The book’s chapters are written by scientists currently engaged in morphometrics and/or phylogenetics. The chapters survey the paleobiological applications of form and phylogeny, explore the interface between the two, and demonstrate the broader utility of various analytical tools.
