Sediment accumulation rate (how quickly the sea bottom is covered by new sediment) is the main predictor of the temporal resolution of (sub)fossil assemblages, a key property to address both paleontological and ecological questions.

Our most recent paper published in Earth Science Reviews presents a comprehensive and quantitative survey of literature data on drilling predation in Ostracoda. So proud of my first Ph.D student, Camila Cruz. Check it out. In collaboration with @paleoadiel.bsky.social

This past week, @paleodanae.bsky.social and I have conducted the Paleontology of Marine Cenozoic Molluscs session at the World Congress of Malacology. Thanks to all for this marvelous opportunity.
