Body size evolution and habitat colonization across 100 million years (Late Jurassic–Paleocene) of the actinopterygian evolutionary history
Fishes are characterized by their capacity to occupy all aquatic environments and by their
amazing range of size and morphology. While it is known that habitat influenced the diversity …

Body size, extinction events, and the early Cenozoic record of veneroid bivalves: a new role for recoveries?
R Lockwood - Paleobiology, 2005 - cambridge.org
Mass extinctions can play a role in shaping macroevolutionary trends through time, but the
contribution of recoveries to this process has yet to be examined in detail. This study focuses …

Biogeography of Recent marine bivalve molluscs and its implications for paleobiogeography and the geography of extinction: a progress report
KW Flessa, D Jablonski - 1995 - Taylor & Francis
The geographic distribution of Recent taxa is important in interpreting paleobiogeography
and the fossil record of extinction. We examine the latitudinal diversity gradient in Recent …

Evidence for abrupt speciation in a classic case of gradual evolution
In contrast with speciation in terrestrial organisms, marine plankton frequently display
gradual morphological change without lineage division (eg, phyletic gradualism or gradual …
