The zooarchaeology and paleoecology of early hominin scavenging
Evolutionary Anthropology (print), 2020Questions about the timing, frequency, resource yield, and behavioral and biological implications of large animal carcass acquisition by early hominins have been a part of the “hunting‐scavenging debate” for decades. This article presents a brief outline

Ediacaran diversity and paleoecology from central Iran
Journal of Paleontology, 2021. The late Ediacaran (Nama) Fossil Assemblage from the Kushk Series in the Kushk and Chahmir areas of Central Iran highlights a diverse community of globally distributed, soft-bodied (non-skeletonized) Ediacara biota coexisting with skeletonized tubular ...

Functional Paleoecology and the Pollen-Plant Functional Trait Linkage
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021Paleoecological investigations using the pollen-plant functional trait linkage are increasing in value as new insights to past ecological function and dynamics are revealed.

This chapter focuses on very long-term patterns over time and over large spatial extents. It considers some of these long-term changes in plants and plant communities, the scientific methods used for understanding them, and some of their implications. The chapter then highlights the field of paleoecology, which is the study of historical ecology.

Notes for a Short Course: Studies in Geology, 1985
Studying the paleoecology of the extinct chambered cephalopods is somewhat analogous to studying a distant landscape through the wrong end of a powerful telescope: we can see very small views of what must have been great panoramic vistas. Two factors have lead to this situation.

Abstract Primates originated in a “hot-house” world of widespread rainforests. Plesiadapiform primates thrived during the Paleocene but died out when arboreal rodents won their niches. Euprimates radiated during the Eocene, which ended in a period of global cooling ~40–34 Ma.

Lower Cretaceous (lower Hauterivian) oyster mass occurrences (OMOs) dominated by the gryphaeid small oyster Ceratostreon from the Neuquén Basin (west-central Argentina) are analyzed in terms of taphonomy and paleoecology in order to characterize their ...

One of the most important questions we can ask about life is "Does ecology matter?" Most biologists and paleontologists are trained to answer "yes," but the exact mechanisms by which ecology matters in the context of patterns that play out over millions of years have never been entirely clear.
