Journal of Systematic Palaeontology

Key features | Contents |Call for papers | Instructions for authors | Editorial board | Ordering

Documenting how faunas and floras are distributed through time and space remains the primary goal of palaeontology. It is on the basis of this evidence that most of our current theories of large-scale evolutionary patterns and processes are founded. The primary data underpinning the science is provided by taxonomic description of fossils and the phylogenetic analysis of their relationships.
