Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history (2015, background): “17 Myr for the kimberlite at Mahenge (Harrison et al., 2001), but the lacustrine sediments yielding Mahengechromis must postdate this intrusive event. Harrison et al. (2001) provide a convincing argument, based on other crater lakes, that kimberlite emplacement likely predates lacustrine deposition ”
Fossil leaf economics quantified: calibration, Eocene case study, and implications (2007, background): “…form a ‘‘leaf economics spectrum’’ (Wright et al. 2004), which represents one component of a general continuum running from specialization for rapid resource acquisition (‘‘fast-return’’ species) to a strategy that maximizes resource retention (‘‘slow-return’’ species) (Grime 1974; Grubb 1998).”
Tertiary giant lacewings (Neuroptera: Polystoechotidae): Revision and description of new taxa from western north America and Denmark (2006, background): “3; Hamilton 1983) and is similarly associated with Late Palaeocene–Early Eocene biotic dispersal (Graham 1972; Tiffney 1985; Moran 1989; Beard & Dawson 1999; Manchester 1999; Tiffney & Manchester 2001; Bowen et al. 2002; Archibald et al. 2005).”
