The Rise and Fall of the Malvinoxhosan Biota in Gondwana

This book presents a comprehensive synthesis of the Malvinoxhosan Bioregion, a unique Devonian biogeographic province of Gondwana. Through 14 invited chapters by leading specialists, it covers the rise, diversification, and decline of this realm, including its geology, biostratigraphy, main fossil groups (from invertebrates to plants and trace fossils), and patterns of extinction and migration. Integrating paleontological, sedimentological, and biogeographic perspectives, the book provides a critical reference for researchers and students interested in Devonian ecosystems, Gondwanan paleobiogeography, and the evolutionary history of marine and terrestrial life in high-latitude regions.
