UCMP was well-represented by its graduate students at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology annual meeting this past October. Ten students gave or co-authored talks, or presented posters:
Talks:
 Ken Angielczyk—A character-based method for measuring the fit of a cladogram to the fossil record.
Marc Carrasco—co-author (with Tony Barnosky) on Assessment of mammalian species richness in the northern Great Plains, northern Rocky Mountains, and Pacific Northwest during the early Arikareean.
Ed Davis—The nearest-living-relative method of paleoclimate reconstruction: Testing the assumptions with species of the rodent Marmota.
Bob Feranec—Sabertooth growth rate in Smilodon estimated from analysis of stable isotopes.
Tom Stidham—co-author on Late Cretaceous-Early Tertiary avifaunas in North America; also co-author (with Caroline Strömberg) on Dung beetle brood balls and notoungulate diet.
