New paper alert! Julia Clarke & I wrote a piece in @historicalbiology.bsky.social on 'key advances' in descriptive anatomy, taxonomy/nomenclature, & interpretative palaeontology. We outline new online collections for our key themes www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
For #FossilFriday, we're pleased to announce Dr. Brooke Long-Fox as our new deputy editor-in-chief!
Dr. Brooke Long-Fox is a paleobiologist whose research explores how organisms respond to environmental change across spatial & temporal scales.
She also serves in leadership roles promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the scientific community.
As Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Historical Biology, she hopes to strengthen open and FAIR data practices and support transparent, reproducible research.
Published in Historical Biology: An International Journal of Paleobiology (Ahead of Print, 2026)
She collaborates on aquatic ecology projects examining productivity, nutrient availability & PFAS contaminants in modern rivers & contributes to efforts that develop AI-assisted tools for data curation, while advancing open & reproducible science through her work with MorphoBank.
Brooke studies chemosymbiotic lucinid bivalves (our highlighted fossils today), using morphometrics, phylogenetic analyses, sclerochronology, and microbial ecology to investigate how symbiosis, shell morphology, and environmental gradients shape biodiversity.
Our new #ScienceCommunication editorial focuses on a new paper that constructed a fully OA, reusable dataset on sauropod DMTA: a case study of our recent transition to an Open & FAIR data policy! 🦕 doi.org/10.1080/08912963.2026.2672317

I’m pleased to share that I’ve joined Historical Biology as a new Associate Editor! 😊
Looking forward to supporting research in molecular palaeontology and Quaternary faunas.

🚨Publication Alert 🚨
I just got my master's thesis published in Historical Biology (@historicalbiology.bsky.social). I analyzed print news coverage focused on paleontology and presents findings on the role of gender, metaphors, and topic selection in paleo-news. www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...
