TL;DR: In this paper, a new data set of fossil occurrences representing 3.5 million specimens was presented, and it was shown that global and local diversity was less than twice as high in the Neogene as in the mid-Paleozoic.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new record from Lake Elsinore, located 36 km inland from the Pacific Ocean in Southern California and evaluated it in the context of records across the coastal and interior southwest United States, including northwest Mexico.

TL;DR: Large-scale dominance patterns often approximately matched those inferred from diversity trends; however, there are also times when dominance was decoupled from diversity, indicating that further investigation of ecological dominance will provide additional insights into ecological influences on the Phanerozoic history of life.

TL;DR: Digitization of nine institutions' holdings of Cenozoic marine invertebrate collections from California, Oregon and Washington in the USA reveals that they represent 23 times the number of unique localities than are currently available in the PBDB.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an extensive and rigorously controlled quantitative paleoecological study within an interval of inferred coordinated stasis within the Middle Devonian Hamilton Group, and they evaluate various techniques, including non-parametric multidimensional scaling and agglomerative hierarchical clustering to decipher community patterns.
