Together, they make the \u003cstrong\u003eFossil Behavior Compendium\u003c\/strong\u003e wider in scope, covering all relevant animal and plant groups and all epochs, and providing a detailed review of animal and plant fossil behavior in terrestrial and aquatic environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFossil behavior encompasses not only past evidence of the life history of an organism but also behavioral, predation, and symbiotic interactions, including parasitism. This book compares patterns of behavior and coevolution in the past with those of the present-day descendants. It also discusses how to evaluate the rates of evolution of behavior and coevolution at various taxonomic levels. The compendium emphasizes the interactions between fossils and compares these interactions with present-day counterparts. It also provides new discussions on topics related to fossils in amber. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeeping Boucot's trademark, easy-to-read style, the book includes new findings never published previously, reports not easily accessed, numerous examples, 40 tables, 285 illustrations--some published here for the first time--and a four-page color insert.
