Summary
A lot has been said about the predictive power of the fossil record to address the current extinction crisis. Nevertheless, the extent to which fossil species can inform conservation efforts is still unclear. Founded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, and in partnership with with SharkReferences, SHARKS-XT aims to provide a clear link between past extinctions and the conservation of modern species using the abundant shark fossil record.
