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,

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.

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.

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

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

Using abundance data to assess the relative role of sampling biases and evolutionary radiations in Upper Muschelkalk ammonoids [PDF]
, 2011 The Middle Triassic ammonoid genus Ceratites diversified spectacularly within the Germanic Muschelkalk Basin during the Anisian/Ladian (244–232 Mya). Previous studies have interpreted this diversification as a sequence of rapid, endemic radiations from a
