Understanding the long-term effects of ongoing global environmental change on marine ecosystems requires a cross-disciplinary approach. Deep-time and recent fossil records can contribute by identifying traits and environmental conditions associated with elevated extinction risk during analogous events in the geologic past and by providing baseline data that can be used to assess historical change and set management and restoration targets and benchmarks. Here, we review the ecological and environmental information available in the marine fossil record and discuss how these archives can be used to inform current extinction risk assessments as well as marine conservation strategies and decision-making at global to local scales. As we consider future research directions in deep-time and conservationpaleobiology, we emphasize the need for coproduced research that unites researchers, conservation practitioners, and policymakers with the communities for whom the impacts of climate and global change are most imminent.

利用化石记录了解灭绝风险，并在不断变化的世界中为海洋保护提供信息


了解持续的全球环境变化对海洋生态系统的长期影响需要一种跨学科的方法。深时和最近的化石记录可以通过识别过去地质中类似事件中与灭绝风险升高相关的特征和环境条件，并提供可用于评估历史变化并设定管理和恢复目标和基准的基线数据来做出贡献。在这里，我们回顾了海洋化石记录中可用的生态和环境信息，并讨论了如何使用这些档案来为当前的灭绝风险评估以及全球到地方尺度的海洋保护战略和决策提供信息。当我们考虑深层和保护古生物学的未来研究方向时，我们强调需要联合生产研究，将研究人员、保护从业者和政策制定者与气候和全球变化影响最迫在眉睫的社区联合起来。
