Conservation paleobiology (Paleontology 🦕)

Conservation paleobiology is a field of paleontology that applies the knowledge of the geological and paleoecological record to the conservation and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Despite the influence of paleontology on ecological sciences can be traced back at least at the 18th century, the current field has b...

These days I am assisting my PhD student Shirin Rahman in collecting material on the history of #whale populations in the North Sea. The ecological baselines for the conditions of the populations prior to the human impact can be partially reconstructed thanks to the dedicated work of museums and curators. We just finished sampling at Natural History Museum in London. #Odontoceti #ConservationPaleobiology @utrechtuniversity

We Need to Think about Conservation on a Different Timescale

I unfortunately couldn't travel to the ongoing annual meeting of the Geological Society of America meeting because of I'll health, but we did have this essay just come out.

Our sea cow-kelp paper covered in the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper. https://www.sfchronicle.com/climate/article/sea-cow-california-17622330.php #ConservationPaleobiology #ecology #paleontology

We have a new paper "Impact of the extinct megaherbivore Steller's sea cow on kelp forest resilience." We use a #ConservationPaleobiology PPF (Past-Present-Future) approach to mathematically model a historical ecosystem and compare its resilience to the modern system. #paleontology #conservationbiology #ecology #openaccesspublishing https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fevo.2022.983558/
