Abstract:
Paleoecology is the science that studies the interactions of extinct organisms with each other and with the environment. The report will be devoted to the analysis of the relationship of ancient organisms in populations and communities (= biocenoses). Examples of trophic connections, reconstruction of habitat conditions by finding characteristic species of plants and animals, the content of various minerals, chemical elements and their isotopes in the skeletons will be considered. The study of these issues is associated with the use of modern research techniques. Examples of their use will be demonstrated in the report.
