摘要	Paleontology provides insights into the history of the planet, from the origins of life billions of years ago to the biotic changes of the Recent. The scope of paleontological research is as vast as it is varied, and the field is constantly evolving. In an effort to identify "Big Questions" in paleontology, experts from around the world came together to build a list of priority questions the field can address in the years ahead. The 89 questions presented herein (grouped within 11 themes) represent contributions from nearly 200 international scientists. These questions touch on common themes including biodiversity drivers and patterns, integrating data types across spatiotemporal scales, applying paleontological data to contemporary biodiversity and climate issues, and effectively utilizing innovative methods and technology for new paleontological insights. In addition to these theoretical questions, discussions touch upon structural concerns within the field, advocating for an increased valuation of specimen-based research, protection of natural heritage sites, and the importance of collections infrastructure, along with a stronger emphasis on human diversity, equity, and inclusion. These questions offer a starting point-an initial nucleus of consensus that paleontologists can expand on-for engaging in discussions, securing funding, advocating for museums, and fostering continued growth in shared research directions. La paleontolog & iacute;a permite conocer la historia del planeta, desde los or & iacute;genes de la vida hace miles de millones de a & ntilde;os hasta los cambios bi & oacute;ticos de & eacute;pocas recientes. El & aacute;mbito de la investigaci & oacute;n paleontol & oacute;gica es tan vasto como variado y est & aacute; en constante evoluci & oacute;n. En un esfuerzo por identificar las "grandes preguntas" de la paleontolog & iacute;a, expertos de todo el mundo se reunieron para elaborar una lista de cuestiones prioritarias que el campo puede abordar en los pr & oacute;ximos a & ntilde;os. Las 89 preguntas aqu & iacute; presentadas (agrupadas en 11 temas) representan las contribuciones de casi 200 cient & iacute;ficos internacionales. Estas preguntas se refieren a temas comunes, entre los que se incluyen los motores y patrones de la biodiversidad, la integraci & oacute;n de diferentes tipos de datos a lo largo de escalas espacio-temporales, la aplicaci & oacute;n de datos paleontol & oacute;gicos para resolver cuestiones contempor & aacute;neas de biodiversidad y clima, y la utilizaci & oacute;n eficaz de m & eacute;todos y tecnolog & iacute;as innovadoras para obtener nuevos conocimientos paleontol & oacute;gicos. Adem & aacute;s de estos interrogantes te & oacute;ricos, los debates abordan inquietudes estructurales dentro del campo, y abogan por una mayor valoraci & oacute;n de la investigaci & oacute;n basada en espec & iacute;menes, la protecci & oacute;n de los sitios del patrimonio natural y la importancia de la infraestructura de las colecciones; junto con un mayor & eacute;nfasis en la diversidad humana, la equidad y la inclusi & oacute;n. Estas preguntas representan un punto de partida-un n & uacute;cleo inicial de consenso que los paleont & oacute;logos pueden ampliar-para fomentar debates, obtener financiaci & oacute;n, abogar por el apoyo a los museos y estimular el crecimiento continuo en direcciones de investigaci & oacute;n compartidas. La paleontologia offre spunti fondamentali per comprendere la storia del pianeta, dalle origini della vita miliardi di anni fa fino ai cambiamenti biotici pi & ugrave; recenti. L'ambito della ricerca paleontologica & egrave; tanto vasto quanto diversificato e rappresenta un campo in continua evoluzione. In questo studio, esperti provenienti da tutto il mondo si sono riuniti per redigere un elenco di "Grandi Domande" prioritarie che la paleontologia potr & agrave; affrontare nei prossimi anni. Le 89 domande qui presentate, raggruppate in 11 temi, rappresentano il contributo di circa 200 scienziati internazionali. Queste domande riguardano tematiche come i meccanismi e i pattern di biodiversit & agrave;, l'integrazione di varie tipologie di dati su scale spazio-temporali multiple, l'applicazione delle conoscenze paleontologiche ai problemi attuali della crisi climatica e della biodiversit & agrave;, e l'uso efficace di metodi e tecnologie innovative per ottenere nuove intuizioni paleontologiche. Oltre a questi temi teorici, la discussione si focalizza su problematiche strutturali del campo, promuovendo una maggiore valorizzazione della ricerca basata sugli esemplari, la protezione dei siti di interesse culturale e paleontologico, e l'importanza delle infrastrutture per preservare le collezioni, insieme a una crescente enfasi su un apporto multiculturale, equo e inclusivo. Queste domande costituiscono un punto di partenza-un nucleo di consenso iniziale che i paleontologi possono espandere-per avviare discussioni, ottenere finanziamenti, promuovere i musei e favorire una crescita continua verso direzioni condivise di ricerca.
