Resumen:
The field of ichnology straddles the areas of palaeontology andsedimentology, and displays multiple connections with disciplineswithin these areas and also with biology. Biogenic structures recordthe behavior of their tracemakers and provide valuable informationfor palaeoecologic and palaeoenvironmental analysis, and also havepotential contributions to palaeogeography. Trace fossils yield valuableinsights into the palaeoecology of ancient benthic communities and theenvironmental dynamics of depositional systems. The relatively youngdiscipline of ichnology is experiencing significant advances in the lastyears. A reflection of these advances is the considerable number of recentlypublished textbooks (Carvalho and Fernandes, 2007; Seilacher,2007; Buatois and Mángano, 2011; Bennett and Morse, 2014) and thematicvolumes and special issues (Bromley et al., 2007; Lucas et al.,2007, 2010; Miller, 2007; Avanzini and Petti, 2008; Pieńkowski et al.,2009; Klein and Lucas, 2010; Milàn et al., 2010; Uchman andRindsberg, 2010; Hunt et al., 2012; Knaust and Bromley, 2012; Nettoet al., 2012; Domènech Arnal et al., 2014; McIlroy, 2015). Many ofthese mentioned special issues and thematic volumes were related toscientific meetings.
