Uses and abuses of fractal methodology in ecology (2004, background): “Fractals also appear naturally in simulations of the macroevolutionary patterns of species originations and extinctions in the fossil record (Newman & Palmer 1999; Plotnick & Sepkoski 2001), and in models of multi-resource competition (Huisman & Weissing 2001).”
Origination and Extinction through the Phanerozoic: A New Approach (2003, background): “…developed to estimate rates of encounter (i.e., preservation and sampling when applied to paleontological data), birth or immigration (i.e., origination), and death or emigration (i.e., extinction) (Brownie et al. 1985; Burnham et al. 1987; Pollock et al. 1990; Pradel 1996; Nichols et al. 2000).”
A new approach for rescaling land cover data (2008, methodology): “The reverse process of increasing resolution (downscaling) might be achieved using principles of fractal geometry for self-similar objects (Mandelbrot 1967, 1983) by the estimation of powerlaw relationships (e.g., Grayson et al. 1997; Plotnick and Sepkoski 2001; Solé et al. 1997; e.g., Song et al. 2”
Effects of changing scale on landscape pattern analysis: scaling relations (2004, background): “Power laws may arise from different processes, either internal or external to the system under consideration Jensen 1998; Plotnick and Sepkoski 2001, and they usually”
The continuity of microevolution and macroevolution (2002, background): “…of single physical causes, cumulative effects of coincidental physical causes (Hoffman, 1989), and the context-dependence of their effects on biota (Plotnick & Sepkoski, 2001), event severities occurring on a continuum of possibilities is a more plausible view than is the concept of a fixed number…”
