Great news! Our session „07: Tropical ecosystems through time“ is accepted for #ECTE2026! Calling all tropical paleoecologists and researchers—submit your abstract to our session now: gtoe2026-passau.de/call-for-abs...

I’m looking to hire a postdoc (100%, 22 months, salary significantly above the standard postdoc in Austria or Germany). The position is set to begin on 1 June 2025. The project explores how biases in the fossil record affect our ability to use past biodiversity data for modern conservation. 1/3

Our latest publication in Cambridge Prisms: Extinction examines how climate legacies influence #extinction dynamics. Read more about our systematic review and its implications for predicting biodiversity loss here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... 1/2

Career update: My postdoc chapter in Switzerland has closed—though I managed to secure funding for my own UZH postdoc, which I then declined for a new adventure: I've spent the last 7 months at FAU Erlangen, working on the AGELESS project (funded by BMBF). 1/3

This one took some years in the making! Here, the closeness of a #jurassic species' temperature preference to its environmental temperature (=thermal bias) was a useful predictor of whether it moved in, remained, or moved out of a region, or went #extinct during #climatechange... rdcu.be/d8IfN

My talk on climate-driven extinctions in sharks and rays using causal inference has been rescheduled! Catch me at 4:45 PM in the Kleine Saal at #PalAss. Looking forward to diving into deep-time extinctions and modern threats—don’t miss it! 🌊🦈

New review led by @kiessl.bsky.social of the past and future of how we study ecological impacts of global warming in the fossil record, including pitfalls, and ways to improve our reporting! Come chat with us at #PalAss24 ! 🙂 doi.org/10.1017/pab....
