Do you want to know how the structure of the rock record affects your reconstructions of #biodiversity, #evolution rates or trait evolution? The groundwork for doing this has been laid down in the field of #StratigraphicPaleobiology but until now no software tools have been available to researchers in #paleobiology and #geoscience to evaluate distortion of their #FossilRecord.

Join the webinar on Building modeling pipelines for stratigraphic paleobiology in #RSoftware by my PhD student @Niklas_Hohmann in the Paleoverse lecture series hhttps://palaeoverse.org/lectures this Thursday at 4 PM UTC to learn how to use the new package StratPal developed in my European Research Council (ERC) project #MindTheGap

You can find the package with extensive documentation here: mindthegap-erc.github.io/Strat
More on the project: mindthegap-erc.github.io/

If you are interested in working with us on #StratigraphicPaleobiology, structure of the fossil record, and development of #OpenSource research software, please get in touch!

mindthegap-erc.github.ioStratigraphic Paleobiology Modeling PipelinesThe fossil record is a joint expression of ecological, taphonomic, evolutionary, and stratigraphic processes (Holland and Patzkowsky, 2012, ISBN:978-0226649382). This package allowing to simulate biological processes in the time domain (e.g., trait evolution, fossil abundance), and examine how their expression in the rock record (stratigraphic domain) is influenced based on age-depth models, ecological niche models, and taphonomic effects. Functions simulating common processes used in modeling trait evolution or event type data such as first/last occurrences are provided and can be used standalone or as part of a pipeline. The package comes with example data sets and tutorials in several vignettes, which can be used as a template to set up one's own simulation.

I just took 6 trains in 3 days. The staff were really great about getting the ramp for me to get on and off the train. Shame it’s not an automated system where a button is pressed and the ramp drops down rather than depending on finding staff. Crawled onto the train on hands and knees twice (train waiting at Waverley and I was cold -I could have waited 40 minutes) launched myself off the train in giant wheely once because no staff came with ramp. Score 9/12 #mindthegap #Scotrail #disability

@BenjaminAhr just my personal experience — I had a bottom tooth gap closed and now the pressure on the teeth forced together causes chips in the biting surface. It’s hard to add replacement enamel when the chip is so small (plus a cosmetic fix isn’t covered by most insurance and some dentists won’t even do it because the enamel also tends to break off easily so they get blamed for shoddy work.) It’s been a nightmare and I wish I hadn’t had it done
