In times of environmental upheaval, how do organisms respond? When entire species are wiped out, do surviving species move in and take over, or do new species immigrate to fill the gaps?

Super excited to announce the publication of my work on niche conservatism observed in brachiopods during the Late Devonian extinction event! It's been a long time coming. 🎉🎉 #extinction #AcademicTwitter @jqpier12 @jimkjrr

@jimkjrr So neat that your patterns mesh.

[Dr. James Thomka @DrJamesThomka]

New week, new paper: this week, I highlight an interesting study on encrusting and bioeroding organisms from the Devonian of western New York. Many interesting patterns are described here. Certainly matches up with things I've seen in the Silurian!

As a PhD student, my supervisor never answered my emails.

Then I became a PhD supervisor and realised why

Join us next Wednesday to celebrate the end of a successful semester for our Holiday Gathering! We’ll have hot chocolate, cider, and a selection of desserts along with a Cookie Bake-off.
Make sure to wear your ugly sweaters and prepare for some fun activities!

[UConn Earth Sciences @UConngeoscience]

Today is the day, GeoHuskies! We have our first $50 in donations already! Help us meet our $2,500 fundraising goal!

Did you know? Students supported by the Nugget Fund have traveled to Taiwan, the Bahamas, Italy and across the US?

A neat #Anthropocene exhibit at UConn!

[UConn @UConn]

The @UConn_Benton’s current exhibition, “The Human Epoch: Living in the Anthropocene,” provides an opportunity for the University community and the public to learn about the current epoch of Earth history.
