Ever wondered how the biodiversity of sharks and rays has changed over the last 145 Ma? 🦈🤿 New paper out today, led by @alwaysamandag.bsky.social and @pimientogroup.bsky.social. We find some differences when spatial sampling biases are accounted for 🔍

New paper alert!
We reconstructed the diversification trajectory of sharks & rays over the past 145 myrs to answer:
When did they experience major extinction events?
Does age play a role in extinction selectivity?
If so, does it change with extinction intensity?

A preprint of my first PhD chapter is out 👩🏽💻
Using an extensive fossil dataset with #deeplearning #DeepDive 🤿
& time-series analysis 📈📉 we model the dynamics of SA mammalian diversity over the Cenozoic, accounting for spatial & temporal biases inherent to the #fossil record

The CPEG & CPB meeting is officially underway! 🎉
We kicked things off with two fantastic workshop sessions:
📊 R-based open data science in palaeobiology and ecology
🧠 Deep learning for macroevolutionary analyses
Big thanks to all our speakers and participants - spot yourself below!

Have you developed a computational method or tool which would be useful to palaeobiologists? 🧰 If you might be interested in presenting in our Lecture Series later in the year, please get in touch with us! 🗓️ #FossilFriday

“A history of the world imperfectly kept”: Will we ever know how biodiversity has changed over deep time?
If you are interested in biodiversity in deep time, check out my new preprint with @rachelwarnock.bsky.social and @dralexdunhill.bsky.social! We review methods of quantifying diversity and diversification, using the fossil record and phylogenies with extinct tips 🐚🦕📊

I am deeply saddened to have learned of the death, on Feb 5, 2025, of Elisabeth Vrba—a fantastically creative scientist and a warm, wonderful human being. She leaves us a legacy of original macroevolutionary thinking that is still fresh and illuminating.

CPEG and CPB are coming up next year in Zurich, should be a great opportunity to hear cool science from palaeontologists and ecologists
Might be biased, but the workshops sound pretty cool too 🦕✨
