This #FossilFriday we are appreciating the incredible time we have had in @discoverygeoparknl.bsky.social looking at their fantastic #Ediacaran fossils at the start of our @erc.europa.eu grant. 👌

This #PrideMonth here is our Progress flag made from photographs we took of marine invertebrates: soft corals, nudibranchs and octopus with many thanks to James Reimer for the blue ringed octopus

Malaria was fundamental in shaping the course of human evolution, @camzoology.bsky.social researchers have found. Between 74,000 and 5,000 years ago, early humans in Africa avoided high-risk malaria areas, shaping the population structure seen today. Read more 👉 https://bit.ly/4tUdOxe

This #FossilFriday I am delighted to share a postdoctoral position that we @deeptimeecology.bsky.social @camzoology.bsky.social are advertising on early animal evolution in the #Ediacaran. www.cam.ac.uk/jobs/postdoc...

Fantastic time at #BES2025 @britishecologicalsociety.org talking community ecology past and present! From the early animals of the #Ediacaran time period with modern corals and rainforests

New paper alert! 🚨 🐌 We studied historic Antarctic fossils from the Zinsmeister Collection to assess whether the K-Pg extinction, as recorded on Seymour Island, was sudden or gradual. We found that benthic life thrived in the 4 million years before the K-Pg. doi.org/10.1016/j.pa...

A great talk from Yarong about using Bayesian network analysis to reveal multi-scale community dynamics in the Ediacaran Shibantan Biota. #PalAss2025 @thepalass.bsky.social

Brilliant talk from Emily on constraining the lifespan of early animals of the Ediacaran! #PalAss2025 @thepalass.bsky.social

We are at PalAss in Portsmouth! Princess is presenting a poster on Charniodiscus in the Portland Building, Tara on Avalonian community compositions in the Richmond Building, and Emily is giving a talk on constraining lifespans of Ediacaran animals in the Richmond Building LT at 9.30. Exciting day!

We have had a fantastic time at University of Zurich for CPEG 2015 discussing ecology, palaeoecology and conservation palaeobiology. Thanks to the wonderful organisers and looking forward to CPEG 2027 😀

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨: Depth affects the population dynamics on a soft coral-dominated reef on the Great White Wall, Fiji 🪸 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Depth affects the population dynamics on a soft coral-dominated reef on the Great White Wall, Fiji - Coral Reefs

Soft corals (order Alcyonacea) are an important component of tropical coral reefs, and often form locally abundance dense carpets. Some soft coral species are prone to bleaching and heat stress like s...

Fantastic to be back in Newfoundland for our research on the early animals of the #Ediacaran

Delighted to share our paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social iology.bsky.social‬ with a palaeo-evo-devo perspective on the evolution of symmetry in echinoderms. Led by Steffi Woodgate with Frankie Dunn, @echinerd.bsky.social, @laurentformery.bsky.social & Sam Zamora www.cell.com/current-biol...-5

A new Cambrian stem-group echinoderm reveals the evolution of the anteroposterior axis

Woodgate et al. describe a new bilaterally symmetrical echinoderm, Atlascystis acantha, from the Cambrian of Morocco. Comparisons of plate growth with other echinoderms reveal that Atlascystis possess...

Deep Time Ecology members presenting at #progpal2025 in Edinburgh. @shujie.bsky.social ’s poster on competition in Ediacaran communities, @princessairab.bsky.social ’s talk on Charniodiscus and @yarongliu.bsky.social ’s talk on trace fossils

New paper alert!! With @pettorelli.bsky.social and Regan Early We asked whether social media records could be used to study species distributions - and it turns out they can! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Occupancy of Urban Habitats by the Jersey Tiger Moth Is Revealed by Social Media Data but Not Traditional Monitoring

Congratulations to @princessairab.bsky.social for winning a Presidents talk Prize 🥳

Go check out @nis38.bsky.social ‘s poster on secondary succession in the Avalon Ediacaran at #PalAss24!

Fantastic talk today by @ming-tfk27.bsky.social talking about ecological complexity in the run up to the K-Pg extinction in Seymour Island

Super excited to kick off this post coffee session with @princessairab.bsky.social talking about her work on the #Ediacaran fossils

The Deep Time Ecology Group have several talks at #PalAss24! Starting us off early in the morning on Day 1: In Session 2A, at Großer Saal at 11:00, @princessairab.bsky.social will be talking about the "Morphometric analyses of Charniodiscus from the Ediacaran of Newfoundland, Canada."

The Deep Time Ecology Group have several talks at #PalAss24! @ming-tfk27.bsky.social will be speaking on Day 2: Session 6B at 14:30 at the Kleiner Saal, about "Metacommunity structural changes of Antarctic invertebrates over the latest Maastrichtian".

The Deep Time Ecology Group have several talks at #PalAss24! Also in the morning on Day 1: In Session 2A, at Großer Saal at 11:30, postdoc Euan Furness will be talking about "Predators, zooplankton, and the origins of ecosystem stability."
