Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments is a peer-reviewed international journal for the publication of high-quality multidisciplinary original studies and comprehensive reviews in the fields of palaeobiodiversity, palaeoenvironments and palaeobiogeography in Earth’s history. 

The journal incorporates original research, review papers, short notes as well as special issues. Its principal fields of interest are biodiversity of all fossil animal/plant groups and their palaeoenvironment, palaeoecosystems and climate changes in Earth’s history, environment-organism interaction, comparison of modern and ancient sedimentary environments, palaeoecology, and palaeobiogeography.

The intended readership is the Earth Science community interested in the evolution and dynamics of palaeoecosystems and the interaction with and influence by physical processes.
