The first half of tetrapod evolution, sampling proxies, and fossil record quality (2013, methodology): “Highlighting Lagerstätten as positive residuals, as is especially the case for the pterosaur fossil record for example (Butler et al., 2009; Benton et al., 2011; Butler et al., 2012, 2013) does not tell us that pterosaurs or birds or dinosaurs were unusually globally diverse at the times of the…”
A quantitative analysis of environmental associations in sauropod dinosaurs (2010, background): “…with regard to the temporal distributions of fossil taxa and the reconstruction of diversity curves (Raup 1972; Smith 2001; Peters and Foote 2001, 2002; Peters 2005, 2008; Upchurch and Barrett 2005; Smith and McGowan 2007; McGowan and Smith 2008; Barrett et al. 2009; Butler et al. 2009).”
Uncovering the diversification history of marine tetrapods: ecology influences the effect of geological sampling biases (2011, background): “(2011a), but most recent authors examining the link between fossil sampling and palaeodiversity in vertebrates have left the data uncorrected (Fröbisch 2008; Barrett et al. 2009; Butler et al. 2009; Mannion et al. 2010) or applied first differencing (Uhen & Pyenson 2007; Marx 2008).”
