• Inferring temporal patterns of preservation, origination, and extinction from taxonomic survivorship analysis (2001, methodology): “…reasonable that, if we had prior knowledge of how the quality of the fossil record varied over time, we should be able to correct the apparent origination and extinction record, i.e., to obtain an estimate of the true pattern of origination and extinction underlying the observed data (Wagner 2000).”
• Dating Lineages: Molecular and Paleontological Approaches to the Temporal Framework of Clades (2004, background): “Rather, the distribution of gaps between fossil horizons argues against random fossilization (Wise 1991, in Marshall 1994).”
• strap: an R package for plotting phylogenies against stratigraphy and assessing their stratigraphic congruence (2015, background): “…there have been multiple attempts to reincorporate it, most notably through stratophenetics (Gingerich 1979), stratocladistics (Fischer 1994), stratolikelihood (Huelsenbeck and Rannala 1997, 2000; Wagner 1998, 2000) and, most recently, Bayesian tip dating (Pyron 2011; Ronquist et al. 2012).”
• The fossilized birth–death process for coherent calibration of divergence-time estimates (2013, background): “At speciation, we arbitrarily assign one species descendant the label “right” and one descendant the label “left” to distinguish between the two lineages.”
• Range dynamics of small mammals along an elevational gradient over an 80‐year interval (2009, methodology): “This model is analogous to paleontological models used to determine whether the last observation of a taxon in a stratigraphic section accurately reflect its true extinction (e.g., Strauss & Sadler, 1989; Marshall, 1990; Weiss & Marshall, 1999; Wagner, 2000a).”
