| Abstract | Conservation paleobiology uses the fossil record to support informed decisions about management and conservation of biodiversity. One way to study biodiversity is to use functional traits, or physical characteristics, which determine how animals interact with their surroundings. For example, the shape of ankle bones is related to the type of habitat, such as forest or grassland, where animals live. The study of relationships between traits and environments, also called ecometrics, enables resear |
