目前生物多样性的模式受到历史和当今因素的影响，但生态学和进化研究在很大程度上分为古生物学和新生物学研究。为了响应最近的整合呼吁，我们提供了一个概念框架，利用这两个学科的数据和方法来调查基本过程。我们强调的机会，从一个组合的方法与四个例子：（一）哪些机制产生的多样性的空间和时间变化;（二）性状如何演变;（三）是什么决定了时间动态的地理范围和生态位;（四）物种-环境和生物的相互作用如何塑造社区结构。我们的框架为结合古生物学和新生物学的观点来揭示塑造地球生命的基本过程提供了概念性的指导方针。
Current patterns of biological diversity are influenced by both historical and present-day factors, yet research in ecology and evolution is largely split between paleontological and neontological studies. Responding to recent calls for integration, we provide a conceptual framework that capitalizes on data and methods from both disciplines to investigate fundamental processes. We highlight the opportunities arising from a combined approach with four examples: (i) which mechanisms generate spatial and temporal variation in diversity; (ii) how traits evolve; (iii) what determines the temporal dynamics of geographical ranges and ecological niches; and (iv) how species-environment and biotic interactions shape community structure. Our framework provides conceptual guidelines for combining paleontological and neontological perspectives to unravel the fundamental processes shaping life on Earth.
