What Is Conservation Paleobiology? Tracking 20 Years of Research and Development
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Conservation paleobiology has coalesced over the last two decades since its formal coining, united by the goal of applying geohistorical records to inform the conservation, management, and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

StratPal: An R Package for Creating Stratigraphic Paleobiology Modelling Pipelines
Methods in Ecology and EvolutionThe fossil record is an important source of information to understand biological processes that take place over timescales not accessible to human observation or experiments. Fossil data are not a perfect reflection of past biological change, but a joint

A guide for microscopic description of fossil stromatolites [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Geology, 2023 Stromatolites are laminated biosedimentary structures of great importance for paleobiological, paleoecological, and paleoenvironmental analyses, mainly in Precambrian rocks. Their value is related to the glimpse of past life recorded in their lamination,

Measurement theory and paleobiology [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023 Measurement theory, a branch of applied mathematics, offers guiding principles for extracting meaning from empirical observations and is applicable to any science involving measurements. Measurement theory is highly relevant in paleobiology because statistical approaches assuming ratio-scaled variables are commonly used on data belonging to nominal and

Core Competencies for Training Conservation Paleobiology Students in a Wicked World
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Despite the promise conservation paleobiology holds for using geohistorical data and insights to solve conservation problems, training in the field typically does not equip students to be competent environmental problem solvers.

Shell variability in the stem turtles Proterochersis spp. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Turtle shells tend to exhibit frequent and substantial variability, both in bone and scute layout. Aside from secondary changes, caused by diseases, parasites, and trauma, this variability appears to be inherent and result from stochastic or ...

Ecomorphology and bone microstructure of Proterochampsia from the Chañares Formation [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019 Proterochampsians are a South American endemic group of non-archosaurian archosauriforms with morphological characteristics recollecting Recent crocodilians, and therefore have been proposed as aquatic species. However, this has not been based on careful
