Spatially heterogeneous responses of planktonic foraminifera assemblages over 700,000 years of climate change

The paper examines how planktonic foraminifera assemblages responded to temperature changes over 700,000 years, finding they generally tracked temperature shifts but showed variability in thermal deviance under specific conditions.

Response of siliceous marine organisms to the Permian-Triassic climate crisis based on new findings from central Spitsbergen, Svalbard

This paper reports new findings of siliceous marine organisms from the Permian-Triassic boundary in Svalbard, showing post-extinction survival in shallow marine environments and altered latitudinal diversity gradients.

The rise and fall of novel ecological communities

The paper identifies novel ecological communities and quantifies their dynamics, finding increased extinction and shift risks during transitions.

The R package divDyn for quantifying diversity dynamics using fossil sampling data

The paper introduces the divDyn R package to calculate diversity dynamics from fossil data, showing its application to marine invertebrates and assessing methodological dependencies.
