Bayesian estimation of fossil phylogenies and the evolution of early to middle Paleozoic crinoids (Echinodermata) (2017, background): “Although differences between paleontologic and biologic perspectives remain, attempts to bridge disciplinary gaps between fields have wide-reaching implications for assembling a more synthetic macroevolutionary theory (Jablonski, 2008; Slater and Harmon, 2013; Hunt and Slater, 2016).”
mvmorph: an r package for fitting multivariate evolutionary models to morphometric data (2015, background): “Such approaches are particularly appealing when mixing fossil and extant data to assess changes in evolutionary modes in addition to temporal changes in evolutionary tempo (Hunt, Bell & Travis 2008; Slater & Harmon 2013; see Appendix S1).”
Probabilistic historical biogeography: new models for founder-event speciation, imperfect detection, and fossils allow improved accuracy and model-testing (2013, unknown): “ For steps forward on these issues, a recent special issue of Methods in Ecology and Evolution is recommended (Bapst 2013; Ezard, Thomas & Purvis 2013; Hunt 2013; Slater & Harmon 2013).”
Intrinsic inference difficulties for trait evolution with Ornstein‐Uhlenbeck models (2014, background): “The benefit of combining fossils with living taxa has been recognized empirically and is receiving increased recognition (Slater & Harmon 2013), with interest to test more and more complex evolutionary processes (Slater 2013).”
