About this book

A little more than forty years has past since the concept of bioerosion was formally recognised as the biological erosion of hard materials. In that time, it has become apparent from the literature that bioerosional processes affect a wide range of biological and geological systems that cross many disciplines among the sciences. This book is dedicated to crossing those traditional disciplinary boundaries to present a united and current perspective on the pattern and process of bioerosion.
The book opens with papers on the evolutionary significance of bioerosion, and subsequently ventures out to explore the remarkable diversity of bioerosive biota. From microboring bacteria to grazing echinoids, the studies use a variety of techniques ranging from field observations to sophisticated micro-computed tomography to investigate the ecological and environmental role of these organisms, including symbiotic interactions and alteration of non-carbonate substrates.

The book concludes with a primer on the bioerosion bibliography website. A diverse set of two dozen articles, including case studies and extensive reviews, highlight many aspects of the growing discipline of bioerosion research, from the early Palaeozoic to the present, from the Tropics to the Arctic, and from terrestrial environments to the deep-sea.

Aus den Rezensionen: "... Mit dem vorliegenden Band haben es die Herausgeber ... geschafft, diesem Thema gerecht zu werden ... Layout und Qualitat der Abbildungen sind ausgezeichnet. Es ist wohl nicht notwendig, ein Fachmann zu sein, um sich von der Vielfalt des Lebens in Hartsubstraten begeistern zu lassen, so wie sie in diesem Buch dargestellt ist. Fur Fachleute ist der Band sicherlich eine Pflichtlekture. Dies ist ein ausserst gelungener und empfehlenswerter Tagungsband, angereichert mit zusatzlichen eingeladenen Beitragen, der hoffentlich der Bioerosion die verdiente Aufmerksamkeit bescheren wird ..." (C. KLUG, in: Zentralblatt fur Geologie und Palaontologie Teil II, 2008, Issue 5-6, S. 1111 ff.)
