Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

Large‐scale digitization projects such as# ScanAllFishes and oVert are generating high‐
resolution microCT scans of vertebrates by the thousands. Data from these projects are …

The link between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) over long temporal scales is
poorly understood. Here, we investigate biological monitoring and palaeoecological records …

The Cenozoic planktonic foraminifera (PF)(calcareous zooplankton) have arguably the most
detailed fossil record of any group. The quality of this record allows models of environmental …

Large‐scale, comparative studies of morphological variation are rare due to the time‐
intensive nature of shape quantification. This data gap is important to address, as …

Attempts to infer the ecological drivers of macroevolution in deep time have long drawn
inspiration from work on extant systems, but long-term evolutionary and geological changes …

We review the potential for applying traits-based approaches to freshwater testate amoeba,
a diverse protist group that are abundant in lakes and are valuable ecological indicators. We …

The clustering of mitochondria near pores in the test walls of foraminifera suggests that
these perforations play a critical role in metabolic gas exchange. As such, pore …

Applications of planktonic foraminifera in Quaternary palaeoceanographic and
palaeobiological studies require consistency in species identification. Yet the degree of …

Closely related taxa are, on average, more similar in terms of their physiology, morphology
and ecology than distantly related ones. How this biological similarity affects geochemical …
