Sources of palaeoecological data
Especially in Lagerstätten with exceptionally preserved fossils, we can sometimes recognize fossilized remains of meals of animals. We suggest the term leftover fall for the event and the term pabulite for the fossilized meal when it never entered the digestive tract (difference to regurgitalites). Usually, pabulites are incomplete organismal remains and show traces of the […]

Endemism increases species’ climate change risk
“Climate change affects life at global scales and across systems but is of special concern in areas that are disproportionately rich in biological diversity and uniqueness. Using a meta-analytical approach, we analysed >8000 risk projections of the projected impact of climate change on 273 areas of exceptional biodiversity, including terrestrial and marine environments. We found […]

Editorial: Fossil Record says goodbye to Copernicus
“The transition to open access was a pivotal point in the history of Fossil Record. The first important step to overcome this decline and to advance Fossil Record was undertaken in close cooperation with Copernicus by increasing the visibility of the journal via intensive advertising, e.g. at major international scientific conferences and via social media. […]

Crocodylomorph evolutionary innovation
“Understanding the origin, expansion and loss of biodiversity is fundamental to evolutionary biology. The approximately 26 living species of crocodylomorphs (crocodiles, caimans, alligators and gharials) represent just a snapshot of the group’s rich 230-million-year history, whereas the fossil record reveals a hidden past of great diversity and innovation, including ocean and land-dwelling forms, herbivores, omnivores […]“Understanding the origin, expansion and loss of biodiversity is fundamental to evolutionary biology.
