Core Competencies for Training Conservation Paleobiology Students in a Wicked World

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

A guide for microscopic description of fossil stromatolites [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian 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,

Photosymbiosis in Late Triassic scleractinian corals from the Italian Dolomites [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2021
During the Carnian, oligotrophic shallow-water regions of the western Tethys were occupied by small, coral-rich patch reefs. Scleractinian corals, which already contributed to the formation of the reef structure, owed their position most probably to the ...
