"The bioregionalization of the Devonian fauna in southwest Gondwana has been extensively studied, focusing on the occurrences of brachiopods and trilobites, however, little attention has been given to Conulariids. The main goal of this paper is to propose a bioregionalization for the Conulariids (C...
"The Arctic is warming four times faster than the global average, and plant communities are responding through shifts in species abundance, composition and distribution. However, the direction and magnitude of local plant diversity changes have not been explored thus far at a pan-Arctic scale. Usin...
"Siliceous marine ecosystems play a critical role on the Earth’s climate system through its influence on organic carbon burial and rates of marine authigenic clay formation (i.e. reverse weathering). The ecological demise of silicifying organisms associated with the Permian-Triassic mass extinction...
"The end of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age is associated with a distinct vegetation turnover that gradually replaced wetland forests with a vegetation dominated by drought tolerant plants. The Kungurian plant fossil and sporomorph assemblages of the Southern Alps are among the most rich, diverse and we...
"Theropods originated in the Late Triassic and their relations and early evolution are still topics of discussion. Within Neotheropoda, coelophysoids represent their earliest worldwide radiation and include most Triassic theropods, but their internal relations remain volatile. In this paper, we dis...
"The way we measure entities can have significant downstream effects on the transformations we can employ and the analytical methods we can use without breaking the link between the measurement and the aspect of reality they represent.
Despite its obvious importance in any quantitative science, ...
"Certain times of major biotic replacement have often been interpreted as broadly competitive, mediated by innovation in the succeeding clades. A classic example was the switch from brachiopods to bivalves as major seabed organisms following the Permian-Triassic mass extinction (PTME), ~252 million...
"As anthropogenic climate change pushes modern ecosystems into uncharted territory, marine ectotherms show particularly clear climate change impacts. Coincidentally, marine invertebrates have the lion’s share of the macrofossil record, sometimes covering ancient episodes of rapid global warming (hy...
"As human activities in natural areas increase, understanding human–wildlife interactions is crucial. Big data approaches, like large-scale camera trap studies, are becoming more relevant for studying these interactions. In addition, opensource object detection models are rapidly improving and have...
"The Le Fraine fossil locality, near the Tregiovo village (Trento Province, northern Italy) yields two of the best documented Kungurian (early Permian) plant fossil assemblages of eastern palaeoequatorial Pangea. Both plant assemblages (Tregiovo A and B) are dominated by walchian and voltzian conif...
