• The Generification of the Fossil Record (2014, background): “Pseudoextinction is a particular peril when a significant gap in the fossil record causes descendant taxa to appear especially morphologically distinct compared to their ancestors (Smith 1994; also see Purvis 2008; for responses to some of the arguments of Smith 1994, see Foote 1996).”
• A guide to phylogenetic metrics for conservation, community ecology and macroecology (2016, background): “, 2007) and so conservation biologists have been interested in the protection of total feature diversity for questions of prioritization of taxa and/or areas (e.g. Forest et al., 2007; Isaac, 2007; Purvis, 2008; Rodrigues et al., 2011; Bennett et al., 2014; Jetz et al., 2014).”
• Phylogenetic scale in ecology and evolution (2016, background): “Evaluating scale-dependent vulnerability to extinction seems particularly relevant in the face of the ongoing climatic and land-use changes, and the results of such an evaluation might inform us about the patterns of loss of phylogenetic diversity (Purvis, 2008).”
• Macroevolutionary patterns in the evolutionary radiation of archosaurs (Tetrapoda: Diapsida) (2010, unknown): “This null expectation is usually based on an equal-rates birth–death model, which assumes that each lineage has an equal, but independent, probability of splitting at any given time (see Chan & Moore 2002, Nee 2006, Ricklefs 2007 and Purvis 2008 for more details).”
• Global biogeography and diversification of palms sheds light on the evolution of tropical lineages. II. Diversification history and origin of regional assemblages (2013, background): “It is well documented that phylogeny-based maximum likelihood estimations of extinction rates tend to be close to zero, something that is not generally supported by the fossil record (Purvis, 2008; Rabosky & Lovette, 2008).”
• Amphibian sensitivity to habitat modification is associated with population trends and species traits (2017, methodology): “…most vulnerable to overharvesting for consumption (Chan, Shoemaker, & Karraker, 2014), whereas, aquatic amphibians at high elevations appear particularly susceptible to declines associated with the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bielby, Cooper, Cunningham, Garner, & Purvis, 2008).”
• Ploidy influences rarity and invasiveness in plants (2011, methodology): “between them’ (Purvis 2008).”
