Case studies of conservation paleobiology in action?
Of course! Part of an illustration series commissioned by @erinmdillon.bsky.social to showcase how the field can lead to real world changes.
The example here shows coastal clam beds in British Columbia and how they support local environments.

Delighted to share our paper on data equity in #palaeobiology as part of Paleobiology's 50th anniversary issue 🥳
We look at how palaeo data is collected, stored, curated & shared, and how equity in these processes is crucial for our field's future (1/n) 🧪⚒️
