Also, I know some paleontologists don't like it, but we really need to bring in more metabolics, bioenergetics, and dynamic energy budget theory into the discussion on fossils.

Estimating algae parameters can be challenging, as these multi-reserve models heavily rely on the quantity and quality of datasets. Maria J. Lagunes explored how different kinds of experimental data help reduce the uncertainty of estimates, thus increasing their identifiability and prediction power

Diogo F. Oliveira introduced a new method for initializing DEB parameter estimation at the DEB 2025 symposium. He developed a nearest-neighbor model and a neural network, achieving feasible solutions 99% of the time, aiming for faster convergence by starting closer to true species parameters.
