(1) An important aspect of palaeobotanical research is to unravel the palaeoecology of plant fossils to use the results in reconstructing ecosystems.(2) He was among the world's first true evolutionary paleoecologists .(3) Future exploration and quantification of the appendicular skeleton is necessary to complete the paleobiological and paleoecological picture of these giant herbivores.(4) Acritarchs continue to be used in studies of Proterozoic paleoecology and stratigraphy, even though their systematic affinities are still not well understood.(5) Given the significance of neoplagiaulacid multituberculates in biogeographic and paleoecological reconstructions, a detailed systematic revision of the group would undoubtedly clarify many of these issues.(6) Although some marine fossils more than 500 million years old sport holes, many paleontologists have been hesitant to say these are signs of predators, says a paleoecologist .(7) Species occurrence frequencies in paleoecological data identified ecologically persistent species and may be useful for delimiting local species pools.(8) Recently a paleoecologist at the University of New South Wales studied charcoal in lake sediments at Jibbon Lagoon in Royal National Park, just south of Sydney.(9) The results of this study indicate that fossil avifaunal remains deserve more serious attention as a source of information about taphonomy and paleoecology .(10) The book presents an impressive compendium of issues related to the study of biogeography and its applications to fields ranging from paleoecology to conservation biology.(11) He and a paleoecologist at Monash University were the lead authors of the study.(12) These factors combine to make lacustrine sediments amenable to very high-resolution paleoenvironmental and paleoecological reconstruction.(13) Percentages can be misleading, however-only three times since 1926 have more than 10 publications dealt with stromatoporoid paleoecology .(14) In addition, palaeoecological and historical research has demonstrated the presence of forests in arid zones of the Mediterranean area in historical times.(15) That's a combination unlike any on the arctic tundra today, says Charles E. Schweger, a paleoecologist at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
