Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Happy to announce the publication of our new study!📝‪Ádám T. Kocsis, @kiessl.bsky.social‬, and I examined occupancy trajectory and its influence on extinction risk in marine microplankton! 🔬🦠🌊 (1/2) bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/...

I'll have more info in a few weeks when I get back from fieldwork but I'll be recruiting 2 graduate students to begin in 2026 (1 PhD, 1 MS). My lab investigates macroevolutionary dynamics using phylogenetic methods & the fossil record. Please share with students having strong research interests!

In this paper, we present new global calibrations for the I/Ca proxy for ocean oxygenation, with the first Pacific transect. By comparing data from planktonic foram species that live at different water depths, we gain a better understanding of the proxy and its relationship to O2 #paleoceanography

Hugely proud of @sgavirneni.bsky.social for his first paper published last week in Paleobiology. With Linda Ivany, we linked marine #bivalve #extinction risk to adult resting metabolic rate (both whole-body total and mass-specific) over the past 300 million years... [1/5] doi.org/10.1017/pab....

Cool study. Shows low dispersal of mammals across continents. Most are continental scale endemics. Significant in understanding the modern structure of the Bretskyan hierarchy from mammalian perspective. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... 🧪 ⚒️ #Paleobio #EvoBio #Macroecology

Around extinction events, the shape of shells of certain groups becomes simpler. It's a sort of austerity measure to reduce the energy cost associated with producing a shell. Might be something we need to keep an eye out for in marine organisms now. 🧪🌊 Link: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We've had a Very Important Ice delivery! These precious ancient ice core samples from Antarctica are expected to reveal a climate record stretching back more than 1.5 million years 🤯 That's further than we've ever looked back before. 🧵 1/4

Great to see this finally out today! We show that the collapse of tropical vegetation during the Permo-Triassic extinction is a key driver of the long-term super-greenhouse climate that followed it. Read more at www.nature.com/articles/s41...
