The fate of South America’s endemic mammalian fauna in response to the most dramatic Cenozoic climate disruption Open
Around 34 Mya, the Eocene−Oligocene transition (EOT) marked the most dramatic global climatic cooling of the Cenozoic. On a planetary scale, paleontological evidence suggests that this transition was associated with major faunal turnovers,…

Global plate model choice impacts reconstructions of the latitudinal biodiversity gradient Open
The latitudinal gradient of declining species richness from the Equator towards the poles is one of the most pervasive macroecological patterns on Earth today. However, the ubiquity of this trend over geological timescales remains unclear.…

Mind the uncertainty: Global plate model choice impacts deep‐time palaeobiological studies Open
Global plate models (GPMs) aim to reconstruct the tectonic evolution of the Earth by modelling the motion of the plates and continents through time. These models enable palaeobiologists to study the past distribution of extinct organisms. …

palaeoverse: A community‐driven R package to support palaeobiological analysis Open
The open‐source programming language ‘R' has become a standard tool in the palaeobiologist's toolkit. Its popularity within the palaeobiological community continues to grow, with published articles increasingly citing the usage of R and R …

Changes in the functional diversity of modern bird species over the last million years Open
Despite evidence of declining biosphere integrity, we currently lack understanding of how the functional diversity associated with changes in abundance among ecological communities has varied over time and before widespread human disturban…
