Extinction and recovery dynamics of Triassic-Jurassic macro-invertebrate communities
… tested against five rank abundance (RAD) models. Ecospace modelling was used to estimate the loss in ecological diversity. Measures of the body size of bivalves and ichno-parameters were recorded on each section. Through the UK sections, the richness, dominance and the composition rate shifted …

Spatialised ecosystem modelling to evaluate the influences of marine protected areas and provisioning ecotourism on the foraging and distributional response of top predators from Mossel Bay to Algoa Bay, South Africa
… in the system. The Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) and Ecospace modelling framework was utilised to investigate the distributional response of sharks and top predators on the South-East coast to the introduction of two new MPAs (in 2019) and seasonal provisioning for shark cage diving (in 2020), over a …

Forelimb and Pectoral Anatomy of Arcticodactylus cromptonellus, an Early Pterosaur from the Late Triassic, and the Origins of Pterosaurs
… vertebrates, the pioneers of aerial vertebrate ecospace, and the lineage to produce the largest known flying organisms. The origins of the pterosaurian flight apparatus have been difficult to ascertain, in part, due to incomplete or two-dimensional preservation of the earliest …

An ecosystem-based approach to study two dolphin populations around the island of Kalamos, Ionian Sea, Greece
… fishing. The creation of MPAs was explored using Ecospace. In particular, two different scenarios were evaluated: a MPA1 that closed the entire area to fisheries, and a MPA2 that allowed the small and big artisanal fisheries to operate. The results obtained using this spatial model agreed with …

Redefining the Treptichnus pedum zone at the Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP): A critical reassessment of the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary.
… five ichnoguilds, which were used to conduct an ecospace analysis of the section. The ichnofauna reveled a more gradual appearance of ichnofossil diversity at the boundary, and a more protracted transition between Ediacaran and Cambrian ecosystems than previously envisioned. The T. pedum IAZ in …

Using seasonal mass-balanced models of the Algoa Bay ecosystem to investigate African penguin and small pelagic fish interactions

Biovolume and ecoguild analysis of Late Paleozoic Ice Age benthic communities.
The Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA), spanning approximately 360-292 Mya, coincided with extinctions observed in the fossil record, and previous work has interpreted the glaciation as a period of sluggish faunal turnover with depressed rates of speciation. Such studies, however, have relied on …
