EEB Tuesday Lunch Seminar Series - Ecosystem Dynamics of a Long Fossil Record from Pakistan
with Catherine Badgley, Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
This event is a part of our ongoing Tuesday Seminar Series. Check our events page for more Tuesday seminars!
About: A long fossil record offers unique insights into ecological and evolutionary properties and processes of biotas beyond what we can discover in present-day ecosystems. I will summarize collaborative research on the continental “Siwalik” fossil record of Pakistan, resulting from the rising Himalaya Mountains for over 20 million years. We documented changes over time in vertebrate diversity in relation to regional environmental change in order to evaluate processes shaping different aspects of ecosystem composition. Geological, climatic, and biotic processes all contributed to major changes in vertebrate diversity over time.
