Measurement theory aids in extracting meaning from empirical observations. In a new paper in TREE, we provide an informal introduction to Measurement theory and argue for its importance in the quantitative study of the fossil record (open access). cell.com/trends/ecology…

It's been a privilege to collaborate with James G. Saulsbury Jostein Starrfelt Daniel V. de Latorre Alexis Rojas Vilde Bruhn Kinneberg @lhliow Connor J. Wilson Saupe Lab Oxford and @markwgrabowski. I've learned so much!

Have you ever wondered why are tropical climates megadiverse? Our new study in nature led by the amazing @MarcoTPCoelho, delves into such question by understanding biodiversity through climatic space nature.com/articles/s4158…

I am very proud! The Phenotypic Evolution Time Series (PETS) database is now online! pets.nhm.uio.no PETS is a public database containing data on phenotypic change within (fossil and contemporary) lineages. Why did we make it? A short 🧵

I am looking for a postdoc to analyze lake plankton time series and large spatial datasets to identify drivers of harmful algal blooms and to characterize community responses to changing conditions. Remote work is possible. Please RT and share. jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/postdocto…

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

Excited to finally post about this paper in Paleobiology I’ve been working on with Isaac Krone and Ryan Yohler It’s our first order approximation of what could end up in the fossil record of the future 🦴⏰🐸 You can check it out here: doi.org/10.1017/pab.20…

What is the chance of a species having a fossil record? Very cool way to think about the fossilization!

-ANNOUNCEMENT- If you're a student interested in a unique fossil internship, please consider applying for our summer position at Ashfall. Both hands-on excavation and communication experience provided. Come join us at one of the world's permier fossil sites!

Things that Darwin hated, a 🧵 To Charles Lyell, 1st Oct 1861 But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything. One lives only to make blunders.— I am going to write a little Book for Murray on orchids & today I hate them worse than everything

I'm very happy to share new article from EFForTS - CRC 990 published in nature! We show that rainforest transformation leads to vast energetic and functional changes in food webs, from soils to canopies. Fantastic teamwork of our international team! rdcu.be/dyDzF

The money solution!

The Lahontan cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii henshawi) from a fantastic day snorkeling with these these threatened fish. I have some images I like better but this is the only 1 with 8 fish in a single frame!
