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.

Measurement theory and paleobiology

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

Palatal morphology predicts the paleobiology of early salamanders

bioRxiv, 2022
Ecological preferences and life history strategies have enormous impacts on the evolution and phenotypic diversity of salamanders, but the yet established reliable ecological indicators hinder investigations on the paleobiology of early salamanders. Here
