Tempo and mode of early animal evolution: inferences from rocks, Hox, and molecular clocks (2005, background): “(Gould 2002) Our thesis below is that the spectacular radiation of animals during the late Precambrian and early Cambrian was inevitable once macrophagous predators evolved near the end of the Neoproterozoic.”
The Psychobiological Model: Towards a New Theory of Computer-Mediated Communication Based on Darwinian Evolution (2004, background): “In fact, their use in isolation from one another could arguably lead to many misleading conclusions, as other simpliﬁcations of the theory of evolution did in the past (see, e.g., Gould 2002; Tattersall 1997, 2001).”
Fitting and comparing models of phyletic evolution: random walks and beyond (2006, neutral): “…have long documented such evolutionary sequences, and these efforts have produced some of the best known—and most hotly debated—paleontological case studies (e.g., Trueman 1922; Hallam 1968; Gingerich 1976; Gould and Eldredge 1977; Raup and Crick 1981; Malmgren et al. 1983; Gould 2002).”
The extended evolutionary synthesis: its structure, assumptions and predictions (2015, background): “While the suggestion that an EES is emerging has been made repeatedly [11–15], its nature and role have remained unclear.”
Community Assembly, Niche Conservatism, and Adaptive Evolution in Changing Environments (2003, background): “Habitat tracking has thus been lumped under the broad heading of “non-Darwinian” arguments connected to the debate over phyletic gradualism versus punctuated equilibrium (Williams 1992; Eldredge 1995; Gould 2002).”
Developmental Dynamics and G-Matrices: Can Morphometric Spaces be Used to Model Phenotypic Evolution? (2008, background): “The roots of developmental side of this debate extend back to Cope (1887), Bateseon (1894), Morgan (1916), and Vavilov (1922), but have been elaborated recently by Riedl (1978), Alberch (1982, 1985), Gould (1985, 2002) , Mu ¨ller and Wagner (1991), Kauffman (1993), Raff (1996), Salazar-Ciudad et al”
Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Biology (2009, background): “…occurred with the principle of natural selection, complete with several arguments, numerous pieces of evidence, and other principles that provided a coherent picture of the so-called “Tree of Life” (also see Ayala, 1985; Gould, 2002; Stebbins & Ayala, 1987; Strickberger, 2000; Mayr, 2001).”
The sixth mass extinction: Anthropocene and the human impact on biodiversity (2014, background): “In these holes, according to Darwin, a slow build-up of several smaller changes, which palaeontologists could not see, will emerge from future researches (Gould 2002).”
Understanding Evolutionary Trees (2008, background): “Proponents of the punctuated equilibrium model of speciation argue that species remain largely unchanged morphologically for the duration of their existence, with most physical diversification occurring concomitant with species formation events (Eldredge and Gould 1972; Gould 2002; Eldredge 2008).”
The economic implications of exaptation (2003, neutral): “…adaptations and exaptations is meaningless because nature never distinguishes between the two, while on the other side some theorists such as Gould (2002) believe the concept of exaptation is useful in explaining the evolution of, for instance, flight, which is hard to explain without a…”
The Molecular Basis of Phenotypic Convergence (2014, background): “Similarly, Gould (2002) defined parallelism as independent phenotypic evolution “channeled from within by homologous generators.””
From Living to Virtual: Learning from Museum Objects (2005, background): “Process explanations are especially salient to the discipline of biology and to field and evolutionary biology in particular (Gould 2002; Richards 1992; Rudolph and Stewart 1998).”
Phylogenetic signal, evolutionary process, and rate. (2008, background): “We prefer to reserve the term punctuation to refer to change associated with speciation events (sensu Gould and Eldredge, 1977; Gould 2002; Oakley et al., 2005).”
High-Betweenness Proteins in the Yeast Protein Interaction Network (2005, background): “In general, one can distinguish two main mechanisms of genesis that can contribute to a particular biological, nonrandom feature: (i) adaptive evolution toward optimization of a function and (ii) inherent robustness due to constraints imposed by the particular history and mechanism of its formation ”
