The pages on biogeography of the Vendian were written by
Ben
Waggoner to accompany an article submitted to the journal
Terra Nova. The most recent update to these pages
was made on June 18, 1997.
Updates after this date will be made as appended Web pages, not
alterations to the existing pages (except in the case of typographical
errors); this is to promote stability of these
Web documents and increase their usefulness as resources.
There seems to be no consensus at this writing on how to cite WWW documents
in the scientific literature.
If it is deemed desirable to cite these WWW pages specifically
in a scientific paper, apart from the manuscript to which they are connected,
a possible citation style might be:
- Waggoner, B. M. 1996. Biogeography of the Late Precambrian "Ediacara
biota." https://ucmp.berkeley.edu/vendian/biogeo.html. Last updated
November 2, 1996.
However, since the status of Web publishing is still not resolved, it may
be more acceptable to cite these pages simply as "Waggoner, unpublished
results" or "unpublished data."
