Thanks to Evan Lubofsky and Danny Hentz for a fantastic spotlight on the PaleoFISHES lab and our work. Check out the article here: https://www.whoi.edu/oceanus/feature/hope-in-fossilized-fish-bits/

Check out new paper with PI Elizabeth Sibert, entitled “The Micropaleoecology Framework: Evaluating Biotic Responses to Global Change Through Paleoproxy, Microfossil, and Ecological Data Integration”. This perspective/review paper was written in collaboration with Adam Woodhouse, Anshuman Swain, Jansen Smith, Adriane Lam, Jennifer Dunne, and Alexandra Auderset, and explores the potential of the marine microfossil record…

The Paleo-FISHES Lab is excited to share that PI Elizabeth Sibert was awarded a Seed Grant from the Hypothesis Fund! Her project, “Reconstructing ancient zooplankton dynamics from fish microfossils in deep-sea sediments”, will explore how fish tooth shape and relative abundance can relate to zooplankton dynamics in marine ecosystems, further developing the relationship between fish…

The Paleo-FISHES Lab’s inaugural summer included two fantastic summer undergraduate interns, joining the lab through different summer internship programs. Arleth Martinez, a biology student from Berea College, and Elizabeth Pellegrini, a marine sciences student at Eckerd College joined the lab and became the first people to successfully process samples and complete projects in our new…

The Paleo-FISHES Lab had its first official summer at WHOI in 2024, and with it came a name and with that name came a logo! The logo was designed by Accessible Sharks 2024 student Elizabeth Pellegrini, a rising Junior at Eckerd College who, in addition to generating an excellent microfossil record of shark diversity during…
