REPORT


Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology Edited by Eric Delson Vertebrate Paleontology, American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY 10024, USA [email protected]

Ross D.E. MacPhee Vertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY 10024, USA [email protected] 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 biogeography, and biostratigraphy. Other fields (e.g., paleoclimatology, paleoecology, ancient DNA, total organismal community structure) may be considered if the volume theme emphasizes paleobiology (or archaeology). Fields such as modeling of physical processes, genetic 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 Volumes in the series may either be monographic treatments (including unpublished but fully revised dissertations) or edited collections, especially those focusing on problem-oriented issues, with multidisciplinary coverage where possible.
