Focal topics for volumes in the series will include systematic paleontology of all vertebrates (from agnathans to humans),
phylogeny reconstruction, functional morphology, paleolithic archaeology, taphonomy, geochronology, historical biogeogra-
phy, and biostratigraphy. Other fi elds (., paleoclimatology, paleoecology, ancient DNA, munity struc-
ture) may be considered if the volume theme emphasizes paleobiology (or archaeology). Fields such as modeling of physical
processes, ic methodology, nonvertebrates or neontology are out of our scope.
Volumes in the series may either be monographic treatments (including unpublished but fully revised dissertations) or edited
collections, especially those focusing on problem-oriented issues, with multidisciplinary coverage where possible.
