Journal: Paleobiology
Published: 23 December 2015
Paleobiology (2016) 42 (1): 1–7.
...Shanan E. Peters; Michael McClennen Abstract The Paleobiology Database (PBDB; https://paleobiodb.org ) consists of geographically and temporally explicit, taxonomically identified fossil occurrence data. The taxonomy utilized by the PBDB is not static, but is instead dynamically generated using...

Citation rates for official Paleobiology Database (PBDB) publications and the data-provisioning publications used in those PBDB publications. Only data-provisioning publications from the same time frame (since 2001) as PBDB publications are included to standardize for temporal effects. Citations to data-provisioning publications (i.e., primary literature) are presented as the current rate (i.e., no additions for neglected citations), the projected rate when including citations from PBDB publications where data were available (k = 112; i.e., additions), and the projected rate when making those additions and extrapolating to the entire set of PBDB publications (k = 396; i.e., additions and extrapolated).

Schematic paleogeographies and uplift patterns from Paleobiology Database measurements are shown. (A) Cretaceous paleogeography of western North America. Colored circles—paleobathymetry from Paleobiology Database measurements; blue polygon—Turonian (ca. 98 Ma) seaway (Heine et al., 2015). (B) Modern topography (ETOPO1) overlaid with measured uplift points (colored circles). (C) Uplift (colored circles) atop long-wavelength (∼800−2500 km), free-air gravity (GRACE). (D–F) Paleogeography, uplift, and sub-plate support of Borborema Province, NW Brazil. Blue polygons in panel D indicate late Albian (ca. 100.5 Ma) paleocoastline (Arai, 2009).

Diversity curves generated from the Paleobiology Database (PBDB). A: Unstandardized genus richness of all marine animals. B: Sampling intensity. C: Standardized genus richness based on several versions of the PBDB data set. D: Preferred genus richness curve. Stair-step lines emphasize that richness values are summed across broad intervals and do not apply to points in time. O—Ordovician; S—Silurian; D—Devonian; C—Carboniferous; P—Permian; Tr—Triassic; J—Jurassic; K—Cretaceous; Pg—Paleogene; N—Neogene; Cen—Cenozoic.

Figure 1. Sampled-in-bin generic richness from the Paleobiology Database (A) and the Sepkoski Compendium (B). In A the solid line represents global sampled diversity and the dashed line, sampled diversity for North America. In B the solid line represents maximum global diversity (genera with first or last occurrences and range-through taxa) and the dashed line represents minimum global diversity (only those genera with a first or last occurrence within the interval. Abbreviations are as follows: Cambrian (Cm), Ordovician (Or), Silurian (Sl), Early Devonian (eDv), Middle Devonian (mDv), Late Devonian (lDv), Mississippian (Ms), Pennsylvanian (Pa), Early Permian (ePm), Late Permian (lPm), Early Triassic (eTr), Middle Triassic (mTr), Late Triassic (lTr), Early Jurassic (eJr), Middle Jurassic (mJr), Late Jurassic (lJr), Early Cretaceous (eKt), Late Cretaceous (lKt), Paleocene (Tpa), Eocene (Teo), Oligocene (Tol), and Miocene (Tmi)

Figure 4. Number of Paleobiology Database (PBDB) collections from deep water and marginal marine environments versus geologic time. A, Absolute time series. Solid line labeled “deep” includes collections identified as deep subtidal, transition zone/lower shoreface, offshore, basinal, slope, and submarine fan. Dashed line labeled “marginal” includes collections designated as coastal, marginal marine, estuary/bay, paralic, lagoonal, peritidal, and foreshore. Compare the deep curve to the curve for continental flooding (Fig. 2A) and compare the marginal curve to the number of fossiliferous Georef references (Fig. 2B). B, Ratio of marginal to deep PDBD collections over time

... more so during the Pleistocene. In order to understand the efficacy of “big data” for (paleo)biogeographic analyses, location records (latitude, longitude) and fossil occurrences for the genus Equus were mined and further explored from six databases, including iDigBio, Paleobiology Database, VertNet...

... the Paleobiology Database. This method has the advantages that the biological null hypothesis is explicitly separated from the expectation due to sampling, and that the posterior probability can be used to infer degree of preference for one habitat compared to another. To measure morphology, I used a data set...

In combination with spatially-explicit fossil occurrence data in the Paleobiology Database, it is now possible to more rigorously test alternative hypotheses for similarities...
