Llandovery (Silurian) conodont provincialism: An update based on quantitative analysis
The Llandovery conodont provincialism is reassessed based on a larger dataset than that which was available in 1990. The study interval is divided into two time units, the 'Pre-Telychian' and Telychian. Three quantitative methods are adopted in the biogeographic analysis, including cluster...
