I can't find anything in Google that suggests Duigan "pioneered paleoecology," maybe you mean Australian paleoecology, coal seam paleoecology or palynology, or something else, but there's also nothing on Google to suggest this huge statement is true. While Google doesn't contain all knowledge, something this sweeping would probably make a blip on the Web if it were so. Please source or remove or clarify as necessary. 2601:283:4301:D3A6:79FB:F747:82E7:C781 ( talk) 15:09, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
I got access. The book is History of the Australian Vegetation: Cretaceous to Recent edited by Robert S. Hill, and the specific chapter, The Oligo-Miocene coal floras of southeastern Australia by Blackburn and Sluiter, is a chapter about specific coal measures in SE Australia.
It contains this information:
"Duigan (1966) studied selected micro- and macrofossil plant taxa from a palaeogeographical, ecological and evolutionary viewpoint."
"Few studies have approached the fossils from ecological or evolutionary viewpoints. Duigan (1966), in a landmark contribution, considered both macro- and microfossils in terms of their modern taxonomic relationships and the ecologies of equivalent modern vegetation types. It was concluded that Nothofagus, Agathis, and Lauraceae dominated regionally and coal-forming vegetation was dominated by specific gymnosperms and angiosperms."
