(Rufus) Churcher, the distinguished Canadian palaeontologist. The papers focus on late Cenozoic mammals in North America and Africa and provide both site-specific descriptions of faunas and their associated geological contexts, and more general syntheses of regional palaeoenvironments and biogeography. The volume provides a much-needed overview of current research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stature of the researchers who have contributed to the volume, and the breadth of the material presented, is a reflection of Churcher's diverse research interests. The first section contains eleven papers on the palaeoenvironment and palaeoecology of Quaternary mammals in North America; the second section has 9 contributions describing faunas and morphological analyses of North American Quaternary mammals; and the final section contains nine papers on the palaeoecology and palaeoenvironments of late Cenozoic mammals of Africa. In this final section, Alan Gentry pays tribute to Churcher by naming a species after him: Budorcas churcheri. The volume contains individual discussions of North American fossil prairie dogs, mastodons, zebras, short-faced bears, sabre cats, lions, giant armadillos, elk-moose, caribou and muskrats, as well as African hyaenas, zebras, hipparion horses, antelopes, rodents, and giraffes. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614758060183,"sku":"9781487585594","price":6840.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781487585594.webp?v=1775096026","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/palaeoecology-and-palaeoenvironments-of-late-cenozoic-mammals-tributes-to-the-career-of-c-s-rufus-churcher-9781487585594","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
