TÃtulo : Biological Consequences of Plate Tectonics : New Perspectives on Post-Gondwana Break-up–A Tribute to Ashok Sahni / Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Prasad, Guntupalli V.R, ; Patnaik, Rajeev, Mención de edición: 1 ed.

ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-030-49753-8 Nota general: Libro disponible en la plataforma SpringerLink. Descarga y lectura en formatos PDF, HTML y ePub. Descarga completa o por capítulos. Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Evolución (BiologÃa) BiogeografÃa Biodiversidad Vertebrados BiologÃa evolucionaria Biogeociencias TeorÃa evolutiva ZoologÃa de vertebrados Clasificación: 560 Resumen: Este libro reconoce y celebra las contribuciones del profesor Ashok Sahni al campo de la paleontologÃa. El Prof. Sahni estableció una Escuela de PaleontologÃa de Vertebrados en la Universidad de Panjab, Chandigarh, India, donde formó a muchos de los paleontólogos de vertebrados actuales de la India. El libro cubre temas sobre patrones evolutivos, eventos macroevolutivos, eventos de originación y radiación, cambios en los entornos fÃsicos y el clima y sus implicaciones para la dinámica de la biodiversidad, afinidades intercontinentales y conexiones biogeográficas en un marco tectónico de placas. El libro comienza explorando la India en la era de los dinosaurios, analizando nuevos restos fósiles de la Era Jurásica, luego avanza a través del Cretácico y el Eoceno para proporcionar una imagen de los cambios faunÃsticos y florales en Gondwanalandia en el contexto de la tectónica de placas. Además, el libro explora los patrones evolutivos y las dispersiones bióticas que resultaron de la deriva hacia el norte de las placas indias durante el Cretácico y su colisión con Asia en el Eoceno. Los capÃtulos respectivos revelan el papel de la tectónica de placas y el clima en la configuración de la distribución geográfica de plantas y animales en Gondwana, especÃficamente en la India, asà como las implicaciones posteriores a la colisión entre India y Asia para los cambios en la biodiversidad y la biogeografÃa en los ambientes continentales de la región. Dado su alcance, el libro atraerá a paleontólogos de vertebrados, biólogos evolutivos y paleobiogeógrafos. Nota de contenido: 1 The Age of Dinosaurs in India -- 2 New fossil evidence for the presence of ornithischian and saurischian remains in the Jurassic of India -- 3 A minuscule tribosphenic mammal from an Early Cretaceous palaeopolar location of Australia -- 4 The largest toothed monotreme (new genus new species) from the early Cretaceous of Lightning Ridge, NSW, Australia -- 5 Molluscan fauna from the Upper Cretaceous Deccan intertrappean beds of central India: palaeobiogeographic significance -- 6 Chelonian Pelomedusoides remains from the Late Cretaceous of southwestern India: Systematics and palaeobiogeographical implications -- 7 The global affinities of Cretaceous and Paleogene Indian faunas: complex biogeography of a subcontinental raft -- 8 Anuran lissamphibians and squamate reptiles from Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Deccan intertrappean sites from central India, with a review of a lissamphibians and squamates diversity in the northward drifting Indian plate -- 9 Plant-derived biomarker signatures during the northward flight of India -- 10 Isolated Africa: Review and a palaeobiological scenario -- 11 Biogeography of Eocene mammals, continental and marine, in relation to the tectonic history of Indo-Pakistan -- 12 New specimens of Frugivastodon (Mammalia: Apatotheria) from the early Eocene of India confirm its apatemyid status and elucidate dispersal of Apatemyidae -- 13 Indohyus, endemic radiation of raoellid artiodactyls after continental collision in the Eocene of India and Pakistan -- 14 Do the size variation(s) within non-volant mammals and the known evolutionary relationship(s) of the large-sized perissodactyls from the Cambay Shale (western India) point to a short-lived corridor for secular migration(s) between India and Eurasia prior to ~54.5 Ma? -- 15 Parallel evolution of giant Anseriformes (Aves) in the Cenzoic of Laurasia, South America and Australia -- 16 Depositional biofacies of the Middle Eocene Subathu Formation of the Himalayan foreland basinin the context of India-Asia collision tectonics -- 17 Role of plate tectonics and climate in the geographical distribution of Indian late Cretaceous-early Palaeogene angiosperm flora -- 18 Post-collisional climate of India and implications for Neogene-Quaternary mammalian dispersals -- 19 Murine diversification in the Indian cradle: Coalescence of the Erimanthos-Apodus-Mus groups before 11 Ma. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This book recognizes and celebrates the contributions of Professor Ashok Sahni to the field of paleontology. Prof. Sahni established a School of Vertebrate Palaeontology at Panjab University, Chandigarh, India, where he trained many of today's vertebrate paleontologists of India. The book covers topics on evolutionary patterns, macroevolutionary events, origination and radiation events, changes in physical environments & climate and their implications for biodiversity dynamics, intercontinental affinities and biogeographic connections in a plate tectonic framework. The book begins by exploring India in the age of the dinosaurs, discussing new fossil remains from the Jurassic Era, then moves through the Cretaceous and Eocene to provide a picture on faunal and floral changes in Gondwanaland in the context of plate tectonics. Furthermore, the book explores the evolutionary patterns and biotic dispersals that resulted from the northward drift of Indian plateduring the Cretaceous and its collision with Asia in the Eocene. The respective chapters reveal the role of plate tectonics and climate in shaping the geographical distribution of plants and animals in Gondwana, specifically in India, as well as the post-India/Asia collision implications for biodiversity changes and biogeography in the region's continental environments. Given its scope, the book will appeal to vertebrate paleontologists, evolutionary biologists, and paleobiogeographers.
