What is conservation paleobiology? Tracking 20 years of research and development

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Paleobiology and philosophy [PDF]

open access: yesBiology and Philosophy, 2019
I offer four ways of distinguishing paleobiology from neontology, and from this develop a sketch of the philosophy of paleobiology. I then situate and describe the papers in the special issue Paleobiology and Philosophy, and reflect on the value and prospects of paleontology-focused philosophy.

StratPal: An R package for creating stratigraphic paleobiology modelling pipelines

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution
The 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

open access: yesDiversity
In 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.

Synchrotron imaging reveals diversity in archosauromorph growth strategies by the end of the early Triassic [PDF]

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Archosauromorphs are a diverse clade of vertebrates that originated in the Early Triassic and persist today as crown birds (ornithodirans) and crocodilians (pseudosuchians).

Measurement theory and paleobiology [PDF]

open access: yesTrends 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
