Conceptual and empirical bridges between micro-and macroevolution
Explaining broad molecular, phenotypic and species biodiversity patterns necessitates a
unifying framework spanning multiple evolutionary scales. Here we argue that although …

Using the fossil record to understand extinction risk and inform marine conservation in a changing world
Understanding the long-term effects of ongoing global environmental change on marine
ecosystems requires a cross-disciplinary approach. Deep-time and recent fossil records can …

Origination of the modern-style diversity gradient 15 million years ago
The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is a prevalent feature of modern ecosystems across
diverse clades,,–. Recognized for well over a century, the causal mechanisms for LDGs …

Plankton response to global warming is characterized by non-uniform shifts in assemblage composition since the last ice age
Biodiversity is expected to change in response to future global warming. However, it is
difficult to predict how species will track the ongoing climate change. Here we use the fossil …

Late Cenozoic cooling restructured global marine plankton communities
The geographic ranges of marine organisms, including planktonic foraminifera, diatoms,
dinoflagellates, copepods and fish, are shifting polewards owing to anthropogenic climate …

The FORCIS database: A global census of planktonic Foraminifera from ocean waters
Planktonic Foraminifera are unique paleo-environmental indicators through their excellent
fossil record in ocean sediments. Their distribution and diversity are affected by different …

Trait-mediated speciation and human-driven extinctions in proboscideans revealed by unsupervised Bayesian neural networks
Species life-history traits, paleoenvironment, and biotic interactions likely influence
speciation and extinction rates, affecting species richness over time. Birth-death models …
