Contents:
1. Predation on and by Foraminifera / Stephen J. Culver and Jere H. Lipps -- 2. Predation in ancient reef-builders / Rachel Wood -- 3. Trilobites in Paleozoic predator-prey systems, and their role in reorganization of early Paleozoic ecosystems / Loren E. Babcock -- 4. Predation by drills on Ostracoda / Richard A. Reyment and Ashraf M.T. Elewa -- 5. The fossil record of drilling predation on bivalves and gastropods / Patricia H. Kelley and Thor A. Hansen -- 6. The fossil record of shell-breaking predation on marine bivalves and gastropods / Richard R. Alexander and Gregory P. Dietl -- 7. Predation on cephalopods : a general overview with a case study from the Upper Carboniferous of Texas / Royal H. Mapes, and David T. Chaffin -- 8. Predation on brachiopods / Lindsey R. Leighton -- 9. Predation on bryozoans and its reflection in the fossil record / Frank K. McKinney, Paul D. Taylor and Scott Lidgard -- 10. Predation on crinoids / Tomasz K. Baumiller and Forest J. Gahn -- 11. Predation on Recent and fossil echinoids / Michal Kowalewski and James H. Nebelsick -- 12. Predation of fishes in the fossil record / James McAllister -- 13. Dinosaur predation : evidence and ecomorphology / Thomas R. Holtz, Jr. -- 14. Bones of comprehension : the analysis of small mammal predator-prey interactions / J.P. Williams -- 15. Early human predation / Richard Potts -- 16. Origin and early evolution of predators : the ecotone model and early evidence for macropredation / Mark A.S. Mcmenamin -- 17. Durophagous predation in Paleozoic marine benthic assemblages / Carlton E. Brett -- 18. The Mesozoic marine revolution / Elizabeth M. Harper.
Summary: This volume, compiled by a group of expert specialists on the evidence of predator-prey interactions in the fossil record, is a pioneering effort to collate the information now accumulating in this important field. It will be a standard reference on which future study of one of the central dynamics of ecology as seen in the fossil record will be built.
