505 |a Preface. To the student: Why study fossils? -- The fossil record: a window on the past. 1. The fossil record. What is a fossil? How does an organism become a fossil? -- What factors affect the fossilization potential of an organism? -- What factors are required for extraordinary preservation? -- How good is the fossil record? -- Conclusions -- 2. Variation in fossils. Theme: Variation -- How do organisms vary during their lifespans? -- How do populations of organisms vary? -- Conclusions -- 
505 |a 3. Species and speciation. What is a species? -- The species problem in paleontology -- Conclusions -- 4. Systematics. Why systematics? -- Evolution and classification -- Competing systematic philosophies -- Moleuclar systematics -- Codes of systematics -- Nomenclature -- Conclusions -- 5. Evolution. The evolution of evolution -- The "evolutionary synthesis" -- Challenges to the neo-darwinian synthesis -- Evolution and the fossil record -- Conclusions -- 
505 |a 6. Extintion. The fact of extintion -- The causes of extinction: bad genes or bad luck? -- Background extinctions and the red quieen hypothesis -- The major mass extinctions -- Is there a common cause? -- Conclusions -- 7. Functional morphology. Form and function -- Theoretical morphology -- Functional hypotheses as testable science -- Case studies in functional morphology -- Conclusions -- 8. Paleoecology. Ecology and paleoecology -- Ecological relationships -- Environmental limiting factors -- Direct paleoecological evidence -- Some ecological ideas that have been applied (and misapplied) to fossils -- Evolutionary paleoecology -- Conclusions --
