A new study of from the Middle Ordovician of Estonia reveals some of the earliest evidence for parasitism in the fossil record. Olev Vinn at the University of Tartu and colleagues argue that dome and ...

Increasing the equitability of data citation in paleontology: capacity building for the big data future - Volume 50 Issue 2

We introduce here a database of global occurrences of conodont species around the Permian/Triassic boundary (PTB, ca. 251.9 Ma). The PTB is known for its biotic crisis, i.e. the most important mass extinction event of the whole Phanerozoic, which profoundly impacted the marine biosphere and was followed by a complex biotic recovery during the whole Early Triassic Epoch (ca. 5 myrs). The PTB crisis has been extensively studied and conodonts survived to it but their evolution around the PTB was barely studied quantitatively. We provide here the most complete database of conodont occurrences in the latest Permian and the Early Triassic. It is a data compilation from the available literature, a csv file of about 12,000 entries, gathering a total of 260 publications dated from 1967 to 2022. The database includes taxonomic, sampling, sedimentological, temporal, (paleo)geographical and bibliographical information. The minimum unit, i.e. a row in the table, corresponds to a conodont species in a sample. The temporal resolution is the stage and substage, ranging from the Changhsingian (Late Permian) to the end of the Spathian (Olenekian, Early Triassic). The database allows a large range of investigations such as diversity, biogeographic, macroecological and biochronological studies that can be investigated at different geographic scale thanks to the GPS coordinates associated to each occurrence. The database can be downloaded and used freely as far as this associated datapaper is cited in any resulting publication. It will be updated once a year with new publications and taxonomic updates.

For almost 30 years, there have been active discussions about the taxonomic impediment and the challenge this represents to address the current human-induc
