This study evaluates the causes of covariation between marine biodiversity and sedimentary rock quantity over the Phanerozoic, finding that rock-record bias and common-cause mechanisms both contribute, but neither fully explains the patterns.

The paper reanalyzes neoselachian diversity through the K/Pg boundary using new data and methods, finding no diversity collapse during the K/Pg and robust results across different data treatments.

The paper presents FINS, a comprehensive dataset of fossil neoselachian occurrences from the Cretaceous to the Quaternary, doubling the number of records in the Paleobiology Database.

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.
