Leicester's Palaeontology program has a long track record including discovery that conodonts were vertebrates, graduates who are Fellows of the Royal Society, innovative researchers, and a growing body of undergraduate students. c.org/HJW7FVxPwv

Deep-sea mining in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone may release waste into midwaters that support diverse marine life. A study in Nature Communications finds such discharges could dilute key food particles and disrupt trophic links from zooplankton to large marine predators. go.nature.com/3Jm0C2U 🌊 🧪

Finally I have new microscope in my new office!! IDing Tokyo Bay ostracods~

Dont remember seeing any Australian media articles about this - although i was at a conference last week. But it seems kind of a big deal that the # GBR wont survive till the end of the century and will decline sig by mid century. #auspol #qldpol #cop30

On Saturday November 15, 2025 we will open the call to submit proposals for the Analytical Paleobiology School 2026 for grad students in Erlangen for a training in analytical methods. Do you want to join or send someone? More info and details: www.paleosynthesis.nat.fau.de/science-scho...

Some ancient stony corals were able to survive extreme environmental changes, which suggests that some modern species could possess some resilience to the effects of climate change, according to research in Nature. go.nature.com/4hrpLpi 🌊 🧪

Congrats Wolfgang! Very well deserved

We warmly congratulate Wolfgang Kießling on his outstanding achievement in the Ranking of the Stanford List 2025. Wolfgang is ranked among the top 50 in his field! This year’s ranking takes into account a total of 236,313 researchers. Visit: www.fau.eu/2025/09/news... for more details.

👏 Congratulations 👏 to the Big Questions team lead by Jansen A. Smith! After such a hard work the paper "Identifying the Big Questions in paleontology: a community-driven project"is published in Paleobiology (doi.org/10.1017/pab.2025.10042)

Day three of the Deepwater Horizon work was a success. Unfortunately the red crabs still look like this…

Also press release here: www.fau.eu/2025/09/news...

Jansen's great leadership appreciated! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

What a great bunch of paleobiologists and soooo international!! the annual @paleosynth.bsky.social summer school. Such a pleasure to share methods with u all. Thanks @devapriya-chat.bsky.social @dralexdunhill.bsky.social @moriakiyasuhara.bsky.social & others for sending ur grad students over!

“These vast, seemingly timeless seascapes have become some of the world’s most vulnerable marine habitats, according to a new study published on Thursday in the journal Science that adds up and maps the ways human activity is profoundly reshaping oceans and coastlines around the world.” 1/3

SWIMS will be a very busy place from tomorrow because Integrative Marine Ecology & Conservation (IMEC) MSc has launched! Tomorrow, forty-four students will start their journey at SWIMS and HKU. Their first class – Ocean Biodiversity, is at 9am. Welcome to SWIMS, everyone! @jonscibulski.bsky.social

[New Paper] We found a SECOND SNAIL with HARD SCALES on the foot -- Ifremeria nautilei lives in deep-sea hot vents and makes chitinous scales not by secretion but by cell differentiation, like our own skin! @royalsocietypublishing.org Proceedings B, OPEN ACCESS: doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

In the interest of celebrating good things, former lab postdoc David Fastovich (and new Assistant Prof at University of Georgia!) has a new paper looking at rates of ecosystem change in response to past climate change: press release: phys.org/news/2025-07... Paper: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This makes me really sad: Richard was a great guy. Some of my best memories from my Smithsonian are from interacting with him.

Vegetation might not be able to keep up with current rates of environmental change, given data from the pollen fossil record. Fun doing this work with David Fastovich in the lead, but sobering www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A study confirms what we have long argued: the spectacular Atlantic 'cold blob' is the result of a slowing of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC, which transports warm waters into that region. That's the only part of Earth that resisted #globalwarming. 🌊 www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
