David Jablonski is a distinguished research professor known for his extensive work in paleontology and macroevolution. His research emphasizes the integration of data from living and fossil organisms to study origins, fates, adaptations, and the interplay of origination and extinction. Jablonski's work scrutinizes the mechanisms that shape evolutionary processes and global diversity patterns across time and space, employing comparative analyses of macroevolutionary trends. He leads research projects focused on understanding speciation rates influenced by geographical ranges, larval development, and other biological factors, particularly in Cretaceous-Cenozoic mollusks. His recent research has explored diverse topics, including climate change impacts on bivalve diversity dynamics and evolutionary trends regarding ammonoid complexity. Noteworthy recent publications include studies on mass extinctions and their effects on biodiversity in marine systems. He continues to mentor students, guiding them in exploring complex interactions within marine ecosystems through rigorous scientific methodologies.
