| Author Biography | Luis Buatois is a Full Professor at the University of Saskatchewan, specializing in paleoenvironmental and stratigraphic aspects of ichnology. He has received awards from the Argentinean Paleontological Association, the Egidio Feruglio Foundation, the Argentinean Academy of Sciences and the Argentinean Secretary of Science and Technology. Currently President of the International Ichnological Association, and formerly Vice-President of the International Palaeontological Association, he has carried out field and subsurface work in many different countries. Professor Buatois has published four other books, edited three journal special issues and is the author of over 150 scientific papers. He is also a member of the editorial board of a number of journals, including Lethaia and Ichnos. Gabriela Mangano is an Associate Professor at the University of Saskatchewan and works on ecologic and evolutionary aspects of trace fossils. In addition to her research projects in paleontology and geology, she has a strong interest in philosophy and history of science. Dr Mangano has done extensive international field work and, as a researcher for the National Research Council in Argentina, she obtained awards from the Argentinean Paleontological Association, the Mid-American Paleontological Society and the Argentinean Federation of University Women. She is a member of the editorial board of a number of journals, including Palaios, Paleontologia Electronica and Revista Brasilera de Paleontologia, has edited two special issues, and has published three other books and more than 100 scientific papers. |
