Many know the #climatestripes, created by @JoanESheldon and popularized by Professor Ed Hawkins at the University of Reading in 2018. They are a simple series of vertical coloured bars, showing the heating of the planet over 200 years.
Not everyone knows about the Global Bio Stripes. They show the decline of wildlife from 1970 to 2016 (based on data from Living Planet Index)

Our (w. @emmadnn) book chapter entitled "Fossil Trafficking, Fraud, and Fakery" edited by Naomi Oosterman and @Drdonnayates is out! We cover topics such as colonial looted fossils, smuggling, forgeries among other things 😉

The fascination with ancient flora and fauna is a centuries-old phenomenon and is one of the main drivers of fossil crimes. Fossils have been sought by the rich and famous since the advent of colonialism, propelling development in the field of palaeontology but also...
No better day than #FossilFriday for an #introduction!
Hi everyone, I'm Emma 👋 and I'm an Irish #paleobiologist at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg 🇩🇪 I'm interested in understanding the drivers of deep-time #biodiversity patterns (e.g. of 🦕 🐊 🦎 and 🐠) I'm also interested in how ethical issues and the legacy of colonialism influence paleontological research ⚖️ ⛏️

Using the same dataset, our approach yielded mostly lower extinction risk estimates for the polystome-anuran parasite-host system (https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2022.0432).
This is not necessarily a good sign for the future as it shows that parasites might be more resilient than their hosts and more than commonly assumed in models and predictions.
Today parasites comprise a huge proportion of living biodiversity and play a major role in shaping community structure. Given their ecological significance, parasite extinctions could result in massive cascading effects across ecosystems. It is therefore ...
