Not surprisingly, most #conservationpaleobiology studies focus on vanishing habitats, lost biodiversity, or decline in ecosystem services. But CPB research on habitats that are still relatively intact is as important. See our recent paper on Florida seagrass doi.org/10.3354/meps...

Our new study highlights the frustrating complexity of geochemical signatures archived in sand dollar tests. The paper also reveals interesting links between skeletal nanomechanics and Mg/Ca: peerj.com/articles/186...
Geochemical signatures and nanomechanical properties of echinoid tests from nearshore habitats of Florida: environmental and physiological controls on echinoid biomineralization
The mechanisms that regulate minor and trace element biomineralization in the echinoid skeleton can be primarily controlled biologically (i.e., by the organism and its vital effects) or by extrinsic e...
