Produktinformationen zu „Paleontological Data Analysis (PDF)“
During the last 10 years numerical methods have begun to dominate
paleontology. These methods now reach far beyond the fields of
morphological and phylogenetic analyses to embrace biostratigraphy,
paleobiogeography, and paleoecology. Paleontological Data Analysis
explains the key numerical techniques in paleontology, and the
methodologies employed in the software packages now available.
* Following an introduction to numerical methodologies in
paleontology, and to univariate and multivariate techniques
(including inferential testing), there follow chapters on
morphometrics, phylogenetic analysis, paleobiogeography and
paleoecology, time series analysis, and quantitative
biostratigraphy
* Each chapter describes a range of techniques in detail, with
worked examples, illustrations, and appropriate case
histories
* Describes the purpose, type of data required, functionality,
and implementation of each technique, together with notes of
caution where appropriate
* The book and the accompanying PAST software package (see
www.blackwellpublishing.com/hammer) are important
investigative tools in a rapidly developing field characterized by
many exciting new discoveries and innovative techniques
* An invaluable tool for all students and researchers involved in
quantitative paleontology

Autoren-Porträt von Øyvind Hammer, David A. T. Harper
Dr Øyvind Hammer is currently a Researcher inPaleontology at the Geological Museum in Oslo, and in Geobiology at
the research center "Physics of Geological Processes".
In addition to a number of research publications, he is the author
of the popular data-analysis software PAST.
David Harper is a leading expert on fossil brachiopods
and numerical methods in palaeontology. He is Professor of
Palaeontology in the University of Copenhagen, where he is
currently Head of Geology in the Natural History Museum of Denmark.
He has published over 10 books and monographs, including a couple
of influential textbooks, as well as over 250 scientific articles
and, together with Øyvind Hammer, the widely-used software
package PAST. His time is divided between collection management,
exhibition work, research and some teaching.
