Integrating Active Learning into Paleontology Classes
, 2018 The educational benefits of replacing in-class lectures with hands-on activities are clear. Such active learning is a natural fit for paleontology, which can provide opportunities for examining fossils, analyzing data and writing. Additionally, there are

Unique bone microanatomy reveals ancestry of subterranean specializations in mammals
Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 552-561, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Acquiring a subterranean lifestyle entails a substantial shift for many aspects of terrestrial vertebrates’ biology. Although this lifestyle is associated with multiple instances of convergent evolution, the relative success of some subterranean lineages largely remains unexplained.

Confronting Prior Conceptions in Paleontology Courses
, 2018 People hold a variety of prior conceptions that impact their learning. Prior conceptions that include erroneous or incomplete understandings represent a significant barrier to durable learning, as they are often difficult to change.

The future of the fossil record: Paleontology in the 21st century
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2015 In the past two decades, great progress in the biological sciences has come from the incorporation of history in understanding basic mechanisms in fields ranging from ecology and conservation biology to physiology and developmental biology.

Evolution and extinction dynamics in rugged fitness landscapes [PDF]
, 1997 Macroevolution is considered as a problem of stochastic dynamics in a system with many competing agents. Evolutionary events (speciations and extinctions) are triggered by fitness records found by random exploration of the agents' fitness landscapes. As a consequence, the average fitness in the system increases logarithmically with time, while the rate

Phylogeny, paleontology, and primates: do incomplete fossils bias the tree of life?
Systematic Biology, 2015 Paleontological systematics relies heavily on morphological data that have undergone decay and fossilization. Here, we apply a heuristic means to assess how a fossil's incompleteness detracts from inferring its phylogenetic relationships.
