Myself, Richard Butler, BensonLabOxford & @rogerclose are excited to share our new paper on #Mesozoic / #Cenozoic #mammal #diversity across different body #size classes. Take a look at the full OA paper here: doi.org/10.1111/pala.1… The PalAss, published in time for #FossilFriday

In today's virtual macro labgroup meeting, we'll be discussing 'The spatial structure of Phanerozoic marine animal diversity' by @rogerclose BensonLabOxford Saupe Lab Oxford Matthew Clapham & Richard Butler published recently in Science Magazine science.sciencemag.org/content/368/64…

New paper by @rogerclose et al (incl BensonLabOxford Dr Terri Cleary Dr Emma Dunne Phil Mannion Richard Butler): regional diversity estimates are heavily dependent on area sampled, and correcting for this shows diversity is constrained over long periods of time royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

I've been fortunate to work with a set of supremely talented postdocs and research fellows: Moonikin Campos, @rogerclose, Rich Harrington, Prof. Valentin Fischer, Sam Giles & @KFeilich. Follow them and their awesome research! #postdocappreciationweek

Great The Conversation summary article of recent paper on tetrapod diversity by @rogerclose et al. Study tells us that tetrapod diversity within communities has not changed in the last 60 million years. Make sense, really. theconversation.com/land-animal-di…

A great summary of our recent The PalAss
paper in Advanced Sci News by Kes Lippert. Read about how mammals diversified at all sizes after the K/Pg boundary 📈🐇🐘 Richard Butler @rogerclose BensonLabOxford (full paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…) advancedsciencenews.com/unraveling-the…

this week at @PalaeoFAU we were lucky to be joined by @rogerclose 🧑🏼‍💻 from Palaeo Birmingham to discuss the importance of spatial biases in the fossil record 🌏🦕🐚 Read all about it in his latest smash hit science.sciencemag.org/content/368/64…

How did #biodiversity evolve?
What do the #fossils say?
How do global and local patterns of diversity inform our view of the #evolution of life on Earth?

Finally on my way to #2018SVP ! Lots of Palaeo Birmingham talks and posters involving Richard Butler @rogerclose Dr Thomas Halliday IvanS Dr Emma Dunne Dr Sarah Greene Daniel Cashmore Andy Jones Dr Emily Brown Fion Ma Dr Terri Cleary & me!

Last month, @rogerclose et al. (including Richard Butler, BensonLabOxford, Dr Emma Dunne, Dr Terri Cleary and others,) published a very interesting article in Nature about the last 300 million years of terrestrial tetrapod regional diversity patterns nature.com/articles/s4155…

Another important study! This time on ocean biodiversity: no real overall changes over the past several hundred million years, contra lots of previous findings. Big congrats to all involved @rogerclose BensonLabOxford Saupe Lab Oxford Matthew Clapham Richard Butler.

Had a great time visiting @LapworthMuseum & hanging out with wonderful people Richard Butler Sam Giles Dr Emma Dunne Dr Terri Cleary Daniel Cashmore Gemma Benevento Dr Thomas Halliday Dr Stephan Lautenschlager @rogerclose Emma Randle Will Tattersdill et al. Such great research going on at Palaeo Birmingham!

#IPC5 S04 @rogerclose: 'Global' marine diversity is distorted by spatial bias. Spatially standardised diversity curves show Cenozoic is not exceptional for the Phanerozoic.

Research by @rogerclose College of Life and Environmental Sciences reveals new insights into marine biodiversity over the past 540 million years. Read more...
