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.

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.

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 Review of the Paleobiology of Some Neogene Sharks and the Fossil Records of Extant Shark Species
DiversityIn 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.

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,

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 ...
