GLOBAL MARINE BIODIVERSITY TRENDS (2006, background): “Although marine species richness may only total 4% of global diversity (1), life began in the sea, and much of deep diversity is still primarily or exclusively marine.”
Are Sepkoski’s evolutionary faunas dynamically coherent? (2004, background): “…Droser et al., 2000); and the general evidence for a three-fauna pattern in diversity curves (Bambach, 1985; Kitchell and MacLeod, 1988) or for logistic dynamics (Signor, 1978, 1985; Hoffman, 1985; Benton, 1995, 2001), regardless of how these patterns might be broken down using coupled equations.”
The carrying capacity of ecosystems (2004, background): “ling off right up to the present (Dobzhansky, 1980; Futuyma, 1998; Maley, 1998; Benton, 2001).”
Uncovering the diversification history of marine tetrapods: ecology influences the effect of geological sampling biases (2011, background): “…(Slack et al. 2006; Benton & Emerson 2007; Sahney et al. 2010) despite the fact that the vertebrate record (which is dominantly terrestrial) is generally thought to be less complete than that of shallow marine invertebrates (but see Benton 2001) and thus might be subject to more severe biases.”
HOW DID LIFE BECOME SO DIVERSE? THE DYNAMICS OF DIVERSIFICATION ACCORDING TO THE FOSSIL RECORD AND MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS (2007, background): “These radiations strongly suggest patterns of unfettered expansion (Benton 1985, 1995, 2001).”
