  • PALEOZOOLOGY : INTRODUCTION Dr Poonam Kumari Dept of Zoology (Bsc PART III Paper VI )
    PALEOZOOLOGY : INTRODUCTION Dr Poonam kumari Dept Of Zoology (BSc PART III Paper VI ) It is the branch of paleontology, paleobiology, or zoology dealing with the recovery and identification of multicellular animal remains from geological (or even archeological) contexts, and the use of these fossils in the reconstruction of prehistoric environments and ancient ecosystems. Paleozoology is derived from greek work i.e palaeon means "old" and zoon " means animal. Vertebrate Paleozoology Vertebrate paleozoology refers to the use of morphological, temporal, and stratigraphic data to map vertebrate history in evolutionary theory. Vertebrates are classified as a subphylum of Chordata, a phylum used to classify species adhering to a rod-shaped, flexible body type called a notochord. Classes of vertebrates listed in chronological order from oldest to most recent include heterostracans, osteostracans, coelolepid agnathans, acanthodians, osteichthyan fishes, chondrichthyan fishes, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds. All vertebrates are studied under standard evolutionary generalizations of behavior and life process, although there is controversy over whether population can be accurately estimated from limited fossil resources. Evolutionary origins of vertebrates as well as the phylum Chordata have not been scientifically determined. Many believe vertebrates diverged from a common ancestor of chordates and echinoderms. This belief is well supported by the prehistoric marine creature Amphioxus. Amphioxus does not possess bone, making it an invertebrate, but it has common features with vertebrates including a segmented body and a notochord. This could imply that Amphioxus is a transitional form between an early chordate, echinoderm or common ancestor, and vertebrates. Quantitative Paleozoology Quantitative paleozoology is a process of taking a census of fossil types rather than inventory.

This course will provide an evolutionary perspective on the origins of important groups of animals from single-celled organisms to modern humans through lectures, discussions and hands-on workshops with fossils. Prerequisites: Invertebrate zoology or permission from instructor. Course Delivery Method: Face to Face Textbooks/Resources: This course will also draw on papers available through the Texas A&M- Texarkana Library, which will be made available to students through Blackboard. You will also need some blank paper and pencils for lab work. If you are able, please bring a laptop or device capable of searching the internet and recording notes to class. If you do, please remember to bring a power supply. Useful books to pick up used if you want to learn more, but not required: Introduction to Paleobiology and the Fossil Record.

Conclusion 159 Notes and References 163 Selected Bibliography 174 Index 183 Alfred Russel Wallace About the Author Bom in Brooklyn, New York, in 1944, Martin Fichman received the B.Sc. degree from the Polytechnic Institute of New York and the A.M. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University and is currently associate professor of History and Natural Science at York University (Glendon College), Toronto. He has pub¬ lished articles on Alfred Russel Wallace and on the history of chemistry and is a contributor to the Dictionary of Scientific Biography. He is presently working on a study of the inter¬ relation between biological and sociopolitical ideas in the writings of late nineteenth-century evolutionists. Preface Alfred Russel Wallace was among the most brilliant Victorian naturalists and codiscoverer of one of the principal scientific achievements of the nineteenth century, the theory of natural selection. Although his accomplishments were fully recognized by his contemporaries, his reputation diminished somewhat in this century. Paradoxically, this situation has arisen partly through Wallace’s persistent efforts to equate evolution by natural selection with the name of Charles Darwin in the public mind. I have, therefore, critically analyzed Wallace’s major theoretical advances in order to clarify his central role in the history of evolutionary biology. Given the multiplicity of his scientific inter¬ ests, I have focused on one aspect—his biogeographical system— which best exemplifies the broad power of his evolutionary syn¬ thesis.

    e-ISSN:2320-0189 Research & Reviews: Journal of Botanical Sciences p-ISSN:2347-2308 Brief Note on Ancient Paleobotany Han Asard* Department of Biology Molecular, Plant Physiology and Biotechnology, University of Antwerp, Belgium Editorial Note Received: 19/09/2020 *For Correspondence Accepted: 23/09/2020 Published: 30/09/2020 Han Asard, Department of Biology Molecular, Plant Physiology and Biotechnology, University of Antwerp, Belgium. E-mail: [email protected] Paleobotany is the investigation of the plants that lived quite a while in the past. The prefix paleo originates from the Greek word paleon which implies old, while, botany is the investigation of plants. It is one portion of a bigger part of science called Fossil Science (paleontology) which considers the historical backdrop of life on Earth more by and large. Paleobotany explicitly centers on the investigation of vegetation, while paleozoology centers on creature i.e. animal life. Paleobotany helps in responding to different inquiries, for example, what sorts of plants may a ravenous dinosaur have eaten? When did blossoms initially show up on Earth? How did plants add to the development of earth's present climate? What’s more, some more. Paleobotany permits us to think about the kinds of plants that lived sometime in the past. It encourages us to find out about what life on Earth resembled in the far off past. Paleobotany has a long history in the kingdom of science. Plant fossils are generally effectively unmistakable and individuals all through the world have been finding and gathering them for many years. By the mid-1700’s, a few books had just been distributed that included representations of plant fossils.
