• Tertiary giant lacewings (Neuroptera: Polystoechotidae): Revision and description of new taxa from western north America and Denmark (2006, background): “Kent et al. (2003) suggest a comet impact as a trigger for the CIE, but Schmitz et al. (2004) present evidence that the initiating factor was extensive flood-basalt and explosive volcanism in the Faero-Greenland region.”
• Biological overprint of the geological carbon cycle (2005, background): “…for sediment preservation (Miller and Fairbanks, 1985; Scholle and Arthur, 1980; Vincent and Berger, 1985), rapid (b100000 yr) exchanges between carbon reservoirs (Dickens et al., 1995; Kurtz et al., 2003), or accretion of extraterrestrial carbon (Kent et al., 2003; Wilde and Quinby-Hunt, 1997).”
