Diversity-dependence, ecological speciation, and the role of competition in macroevolution
DL Rabosky - Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and …, 2013 - annualreviews.org
Variation in the rate of species diversification underlies many large-scale patterns in the
organization of biological diversity. Here, I explore the phenomenon of diversity-dependent …

Resolution of ray-finned fish phylogeny and timing of diversification
Ray-finned fishes make up half of all living vertebrate species. Nearly all ray-finned fishes
are teleosts, which include most commercially important fish species, several model …

[HTML][HTML] The tree of life and a new classification of bony fishes
The tree of life of fishes is in a state of flux because we still lack a comprehensive phylogeny
that includes all major groups. The situation is most critical for a large clade of spiny-finned …

[HTML][HTML] Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history
Dating the tree of life is a core endeavor in evolutionary biology. Rates of evolution are
fundamental to nearly every evolutionary model and process. Rates need dates. There is …

Explosive diversification of marine fishes at the Cretaceous–Palaeogene boundary
Abstract The Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg) mass extinction is linked to the rapid
emergence of ecologically divergent higher taxa (for example, families and orders) across …

Vertebrate biodiversity losses point to a sixth mass extinction
ML McCallum - Biodiversity and Conservation, 2015 - Springer
The human race faces many global to local challenges in the near future. Among these are
massive biodiversity losses. The 2012 IUCN/SSC Red List reported evaluations of~ 56% of …

Basin-scale reconstruction of euxinia and Late Devonian mass extinctions
Abstract The Devonian–Carboniferous transition marks a fundamental shift in the surface
environment primarily related to changes in ocean–atmosphere oxidation states,, resulting …

Anoxia/high temperature double whammy during the Permian-Triassic marine crisis and its aftermath
Abstract The Permian-Triassic mass extinction was the most severe biotic crisis in the past
500 million years. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the crisis, but few …

Exceptional vertebrate biotas from the Triassic of China, and the expansion of marine ecosystems after the Permo-Triassic mass extinction
The Triassic was a time of turmoil, as life recovered from the most devastating of all mass
extinctions, the Permo-Triassic event 252 million years ago. The Triassic marine rock …
