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.

A Plea for a New Synthesis: From Twentieth-Century Paleobiology to Twenty-First-Century Paleontology and Back Again

Biology, 2022
In this paper, I will briefly discuss the elements of novelty and continuity between twentieth-century paleobiology and twenty-first-century paleontology.

StratPal : An R package for creating stratigraphic paleobiology modelling pipelines

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
The 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 Review of the Paleobiology of Some Neogene Sharks and the Fossil Records of Extant Shark Species

Diversity
In recent years, new findings and new methods (stable isotopes of oxygen, zinc, and nitrogen; 2D and 3D modeling; and geometric morphometric analyses of the teeth) have enhanced our knowledge of the Neogene shark fauna and its paleobiology.

Synchrotron imaging reveals diversity in archosauromorph growth strategies by the end of the early Triassic [PDF]

iScience
Summary: Archosauromorphs are a diverse clade of vertebrates that originated in the Early Triassic and persist today as crown birds (ornithodirans) and crocodilians (pseudosuchians).

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.
