Nice coverage of our recent paper 💪❤️ Love chimpanzee Kaija’s lovely face front and centre! 😍 Laura van Holstein Catalina Pimiento Ape Behaviour & Ecology Group

7-dimensional niche space of 191 primate species shows niche diversity is partitioned unequally. Interspecific competition is lowest in great apes and highest in callitrichids. Laura van Holstein Prof Kathelijne Koops Catalina Pimiento nature.com/articles/s4200…

Our review "The extinct marine megafauna of the Phanerozoic" is out! This is a product of the block-course we teach each Autumn at UZH Science & includes the students of 2 cohorts, as well as our guest speakers & most of our research team. bit.ly/3VaBPAp

We propose a definition that can be applied to the fossil record and across clades, review the literature, list the species that constitute the extinct marine megafauna, and to explore biological and ecological patterns throughout the Phanerozoic.

Nuevo paper sobre la megafauna marina extinta del Fanerozoico. Proponemos una definición amplia considerando el registro fósil y exploramos los principales patrones de la megafauna marina. Gran ejemplo de colaboración internacional liderado por Catalina Pimiento 🦭🐬🐋🦈📚

Extremely happy to be part of this multidisciplinary collaboration! In this work, headed by Pimiento Research Group, we present you with a review of BIG extinct animals and review their temporal distribution and extinction patterns. Lots of fishy stuff in there too!

Here we go . . . #NAPC2024 abstract volume posted to the meeting site: sites.lsa.umich.edu/napc2024/wp-co…

Ungewöhnliche Zusammenarbeit: Die Anthropologin Kathelijne Koops und die Paläontologin Catalina Pimiento nutzten einen methodischen Ansatz für marine Megafauna, um das evolutionären Verhalten von Affen zu untersuchen. Daraus wurde eine interessante Studie: arch.cam.ac.uk/news/multidime…

Dr. Regan Dunn (#TarPits Interim Assistant Deputy Director & Assistant Curator) joins this year’s #WBF2024 in Davos, kicking off June 16! 🌍 Visit worldbiodiversityforum2024.org for event details, panel information, and more.

Heading back to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 by 🚊 after the World Biodiversity Forum🇨🇭. Most ppl still fly from UK to EU meetings. Can’t more sustainable travel be incentivised somehow? Should it just be down to personal choice, which usually, understandably, tends to be cheaper option?

We had the most amazing time at the #WBF2024. Our special session “Insights from the past for a better future” brought together 30+ inspiring paleontologists and macroecologists who shared their exciting research, while surrounded by the breathtaking landscape of Davos🏔️🇨🇭 🧵👇🏽

A recently published paper by UZH paleontology professor Catalina Pimiento has got people talking. This has to do with the charismatic marine species it covers, but also with the sheer number of authors: more than half of the 34 co-authors are students at UZH. news.uzh.ch/en/articles/ne…

Benchmarking imputation methods for categorical biological data - Gendre - Methods in Ecology and Evolution - We compare different methods to impute missing trait data, use sharks as a test, and introduce an R package besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…

We are very excited to invite you all to the next edition the Crossing the Palaeontological-Ecological Gap (CPEG) meeting AND the Conservation Paleobiology Symposium, which will be held together, at the University of Zurich (Switzerland) in the summer of 2025

One of these should be a crime.

Massive congrats to Saupe Lab Oxford for this well-deserved award. You are an inspiration to us all, Air!
