Repairing the scaffolding: women authors in Paleobiology

Paleobiology, 2023
Non-technical Summary Despite decades of nearly equal numbers of men and women as students, women remain underrepresented in the ranks of professional paleontology.

Paleobiology: Anatomy of a mass extinction double whammy.

Current Biology, 2023
The Permo-Triassic mass extinction has been resolved into two closely spaced crises that both saw enormous extinction losses. However, food web modelling suggests they were not ecologically equivalent, only the second destabilised communities.

Paleobiology provides glimpses of future ocean

Science, 2022
Description Fossil records from tropical oceans predict biodiversity loss in a warmer world In the ocean, the most powerful forces of climate change may not be as visually striking as the storms and wildfires on land.

Fossil footprints and what they mean for hominin paleobiology

Evolutionary Anthropology (print), 2022
Hominin footprints have not traditionally played prominent roles in paleoanthropological studies, aside from the famous 3.66 Ma footprints discovered at Laetoli, Tanzania in the late 1970s.

Characterization of the Halochromic Gloeocapsin Pigment, a Cyanobacterial Biosignature for Paleobiology and Astrobiology

Astrobiology, 2022
Ultraviolet (UV)-screening compounds represent a substantial asset for the survival of cyanobacteria in extreme environments exposed to high doses of UV radiations on modern and early Earth.

Data equity in paleobiology: progress, challenges, and future outlook

Paleobiology
In the last 50 years, the field of paleobiology has undergone a computational revolution that opened multiple new avenues for recording, storing, and analyzing vital data on the history of life on Earth.

The crucial role of meshing in computational fluid dynamics simulations for organic geometries in paleobiology: Describing fluid dynamics performance through best practices

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become an essential tool for studying fluid interactions in biological systems. While widely used in engineering, its application in the natural sciences, particularly in paleobiology, remains limited due to the ...

Introduction: Fifty years of Paleobiology

Paleobiology
Paleobiology was founded 50 years ago to provide an outlet for biological paleontology, with an emphasis on investigating evolutionary patterns and processes that could apply generally across the history of life.

Testing Character Evolution Models in Phylogenetic Paleobiology

, 2021
Macroevolutionary inference has historically been treated as a two-step process, involving the inference of a tree, and then inference of a macroevolutionary model using that tree. Newer models blend the two steps. These methods make more complete use of

The Stratigraphic Paleobiology of Nonmarine Systems

, 2021
The principles of stratigraphic paleobiology can be readily applied to the nonmarine fossil record. Consistent spatial and temporal patterns of accommodation and sedimentation in sedimentary basins are an important control on stratigraphic architecture ...
