The authors survey community palaeontological databases, documenting their contributions to science as well as their vulnerabilities, and provide recommendations for the future of open science databas...

The closure of the Tethys Ocean during the Miocene represents one of the most profound reorganisations of Earth’s surface systems in the Cenozoic. Once a vast marine corridor linking the Indo-Pacific ...

The age of digitally accessible datasets has transformed palaeontology, enabling previously impossible macroevolutionary insights. However, a substantial reservoir of generally inaccessible ‘dark data...

Research and teaching pressures can exacerbate anxiety and depression, causing many young scientists to consider quitting, a survey finds.

Coral reefs provide habitat for approximately 25% of all extant marine species, including 845 species of scleractinian corals. These rich ecosystems are becoming increasingly degraded in many regions ...

Note that several of the research themes are interdisciplinary. We encourage candidates to look through all research areas and themes so they do not miss an opportunity if a topic is classified under ...

Abstract. Reconstructing the evolutionary history of different groups of organisms provides insight into how life originated and diversified on Earth. Phyl
