Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Together with Lorenzo Rook from the University of Florence and Stephen Wroe from the University of New England, I am organizing a Special Issue on the "Evolution of Cenozoic Mammals" to be published in the journal Biology. We feel that a nice collection of papers spanning across the range of influences that have driven the evolution of mammalian species diversity, morphology, and palaeogeography together with the identification of trends that have led to the clade’s extant diversity throughout the Cenozoic is both timely and fascinating.
