NESCent Science Highlights
PNAS paper by NESCent working group
The Phanerozoic Body Size Trends in Time and Space: Macroevolution and Macroecology working group was established to examine long term evolutionary trends in body size - a trait that has important ecological implications for organisms. The group brought together paleobiologists and biologists studying extant organisms to build a database of the largest known fossils across the Archaen, Proterozoic, and Phanerozoic eons. They have published their work in a PNAS paper.
