地质历史的生态学研究对于进化生物学、古地理学、古气候学等学科以及生态学本身都具有重要意义。现代生物学将有机体进化视为一个显著的适应性过程，因此也是一个生态过程。系统发育可以重建和正式描述的基础上比较解剖学，但它不能解释的因果关系，没有建设的适应性，即生态，情景。重建的系统发育模式往往不能澄清没有求助于其他分类群的历史。事实上，系统发育过程的生态背景是更实质性的准确解释比假设的地理隔离，这是唯一的外在因素常规（往往，也许，不准确）分析，在大多数现代系统发育的情况。同一分类单元的不同成员在生态学上可能有很大差异。在这种情况下，它们的进化是由非常不同的环境因素管理的，并且在每一个进化相关但生态上不同的谱系中产生的适应模式可能与其他分类群中的那些相似，
Ecological studies of the geological past are of great importance for evolutionary biology, palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, etc, as well for ecology itself. Modern biology treats organic evolution as a significantly adaptive, and thus ecological, process. Phylogeny can be reconstructed and formally described on the basis of comparative anatomy but it cannot be interpreted in causal terms without the construction of adaptive, ie ecological, scenarios. Often the reconstructed phylogenetic pattern cannot be clarified without recourse to the history of other taxa. In fact, the ecological context of phylogenetic processes is much more substantive for their accurate interpretation than postulated geographical isolation which is the only extrinsic factor routinely (and often, perhaps, inaccurately) analysed in the majority of modern phylogenetic scenarios. Different members of the same taxon may differ considerably in their ecology. In this case their phylogenesis is managed by very different environmental factors, and its resulting adaptive pattern in each of the phylogenetically related but ecologically dissimilar lineages may be similar with those in other taxa, phylogenetically
