Elias discusses the methods used to sample and analyze Quaternary insect fossils as well as the principal characters used in their identification. He describes the mutual climatic range method of paleoclimate interpretation and offers data on distributional shifts and the longevity of modern species through the Quaternary. Using examples from Europe, Greenland, and North America, he reviews the methods employed in archaeological research. Quaternary Insects and Their Environments is written to be of use and interest to biologists, geologists, environmental scientists, and archaeologists.
