Paleoecological analysis provide valuable information on species and community changes through time.

Phylogenetics

Phylogenetic analysis inform on the relationship between species and populations, as well as their demographic changes.

Ecoinformatics

Independent and spatially explicit evidence to contrast and complement paleoecology and phylogenetics.
