Abstract
Paleoecological successions are regarded as the fossil equivalents of recent ecological successions. They reflect, therefore, the dynamism of paleobiocenoses. In such a point of view, they are characterized by two main criteria: 1) trend towards a better organisation of communities as a function of available trophic levels, 2) role plaid by the organisms in the environmental changes. Thus, paleontological successions appear to be different from communities, replacements and faunic successions. Examples from carbonate plaforms are discuted.
