Extinction Selectivity in Foraminifera

This research focuses on the evolutionary and extinction mechanisms affecting one of the most diverse and widespread groups of organisms. Through the construction of a database of global fossil occurrences of Foraminifera from the late-Permian through the early-Jurassic, I will focus my attention on detecting broad evolutionary and biodiversity patterns relating to the evolution of body size, extinction selectivity, origination, and background versus mass extinction.
