• HOW DID LIFE BECOME SO DIVERSE? THE DYNAMICS OF DIVERSIFICATION ACCORDING TO THE FOSSIL RECORD AND MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS (2007, background): “A core aspect of Sepkoski’s logistic ⁄ equilibrium models, the three great clade assemblages (his ‘evolutionary faunas’) that dominated the oceans in the Cambrian, Palaeozoic and post-Palaeozoic, is not cohesive and they do not hand over one to the other as expected (Alroy 2004).”
• An Analysis of the History of Marine Animal Diversity (2007, methodology): “This approach has been used by various workers who have fitted logistic models to the empirical pattern of marine animal diversification (Sepkoski 1978, 1984; Courtillot and Gaudemer 1996; Sepkoski et al. 2000; Lane and Benton 2003; Alroy 2004).”
