What is conservation paleobiology? Tracking 20 years of research and development [PDF]
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.

Paleobiology and Philosophy [PDF]
Biology & Philosophy, 2019 This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Springer via the DOI in this record.I offer four ways of distinguishing paleobiology from neontology, and from this develop a sketch of the philosophy of paleobiology.

Long-term cycles in the history of life: Periodic biodiversity in the Paleobiology Database [PDF]
PLoS ONE 3(12): e4044. (2008), 2008 Time series analysis of fossil biodiversity of marine invertebrates in the Paleobiology Database (PBDB) shows a significant periodicity at approximately 63 My, in agreement with previous analyses based on the Sepkoski database. I discuss how this result did not appear in a previous analysis of the PBDB.

A Problem in Paleobiology [PDF]
arXiv, 2002 We present a stochastic model for the size of a taxon in paleobiology, in which we allow for the evolution of new taxon members, and both individual and catastrophic extinction events. The model uses ideas from the theory of birth and death processes.
