After her diploma thesis on silicified, Jurassic gastropods from Hochfelln Mountain (Northern Calcareous Alps), Barbara Seuss continued research and finished her PhD in 2012 studying various aspects of the Carboniferous Buckhorn Asphalt Quarry Lagerstätte in southern Oklahoma. Since then she is postdoc researcher at the Friedrich-Alexander University (GZN, Paleobiology section) mainly working on the Late Paleozoic Ice Age (a study supported by funding provided by the DFG) and bioerosion in various substrates and time intervals. She is now working as project coordinator for the Volkswagen Foundation funded Paleosynthesis-Project.

Vanessa Julie Roden is a paleobiologist at the Geozentrum Nordbayern, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Her PhD focused on beta diversity in fossil and modern reef basin assemblages. Long-term goals are understanding the drivers and patterns of beta diversity, and how these change from a spatial and temporal perspective. She is currently studying the scale-dependency of rates of climate change. Her further interests are ecology and conservation paleobiology.
