Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments publishes research on fossil organisms and the ancient environments they inhabited. Studies focus on taxonomic descriptions, phylogenetic interpretations, and palaeoecological reconstructions based on fossil assemblages from various geological periods and depositional settings. The journal also investigates how environmental changes, including climatic shifts and tectonic activity, influenced palaeobiodiversity and carbonate sedimentation.
