Lidgard S, Kitchen E
J Hist Biol
. 2025 Mar;
PMID: 40053195
Throughout the Victorian era, the metaphor "living fossil" repeatedly crisscrossed social and scientific domains. The term existed in popular culture before and after Darwin's Origin. Most notably, it also operated...

PeerJ
. 2022 Aug;
10:e13921.
PMID: 35999848
We use natural language processing (NLP) to retrieve location data for cheilostome bryozoan species (text-mined occurrences (TMO)) in an automated procedure. We compare these results with data combined from two...

Cullan M, Lidgard S, Sterner B
J Appl Stat
. 2022 Jun;
47(13-15):2565-2581.
PMID: 35707440
The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and related information criteria are powerful and increasingly popular tools for comparing multiple, non-nested models without the specification of a null model. However, existing procedures...

Proc Biol Sci
. 2021 Sep;
288(1959):20211632.
PMID: 34547910
Examining the supposition that local-scale competition drives macroevolutionary patterns has become a familiar goal in fossil biodiversity studies. However, it is an elusive goal, hampered by inadequate confirmation of ecological...

McCoy V, Wiemann J, Lamsdell J, Whalen C, Lidgard S, Mayer P, et al.
Geobiology
. 2020 Apr;
18(5):560-565.
PMID: 32347003
The chemical composition of fossil soft tissues is a potentially powerful and yet underutilized tool for elucidating the affinity of problematic fossil organisms. In some cases, it has proven difficult...

Proc Biol Sci
. 2019 Apr;
286(1901):20190022.
PMID: 31014224
Documented occurrences of fossil taxa are the empirical foundation for understanding large-scale biodiversity changes and evolutionary dynamics in deep time. The fossil record contains vast amounts of understudied taxa. Yet...

Lidgard S, Love A
Bioscience
. 2018 Nov;
68(10):760-770.
PMID: 30385890
Biologists would be mistaken if they relegated living fossils to paleontological inquiry or assumed that the concept is dead. It is now used to describe entities ranging from viruses to...

Clarke A, Lidgard S
J Anim Ecol
. 2018 Jan;
69(5):799-814.
PMID: 29313988
1. We have examined large-scale geographical patterns in species richness for continental shelf bryozoan assemblages in the North Atlantic. Bryozoans are common and often abundant benthic organisms, but they have...

J Hist Biol
. 2017 Mar;
51(1):31-67.
PMID: 28255641
It is time to escape the constraints of the Systematics Wars narrative and pursue new questions that are better positioned to establish the relevance of the field in this time...
