- Mammalian extinction, survival, and recovery dynamics across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in northeastern Montana, USA (2014, background): “Using a data set from western North America that was partitioned into 1 m.y. bins, Alroy (2000) found that rates of species origination were signifi cantly higher in the fi rst 1 m.y. bin immediately after the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary than at any other time in the Cenozoic.”
- Global climate change and North American mammalian evolution (2000, methodology): “The low points before 60 Ma cannot be explained as a side effect of unusual turnover rates, not only because secular variation in turnover rates was accounted for in computing the G- statistic (Alroy 2000), but because rates were actually higher, not lower, in the latest Cretaceous and early Eocene.”
- Mammalian Response to Cenozoic Climatic Change (2009, background): “Alroy 2000, Novacek 1999, Smith et al. 2004, Hooker 2000, Woodburne 2004; 60.”
- Effects of Quaternary Climatic Change on Speciation in Mammals (2005, methodology): “The net effect is that at certain times, thresholds are reached which result in the growth or decline of ice sheets and related climatic and physical–environmental changes (Raymo, 1998; Raymo et al., 1998; Ruddiman, 2001).”
- Are Sepkoski’s evolutionary faunas dynamically coherent? (2004, methodology): “Thanks to the use of appearance event ordination (Alroy, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000), the data can be split into 65 uniform, 1.0 million year long temporal intervals.”
- Mammals across the K/Pg boundary in northeastern Montana, U.S.A.: dental morphology and body-size patterns reveal extinction selectivity and immigrant-fueled ecospace filling (2013, background): “Although this approach broadens the spatial coverage and lessens the influence of local oddities, it also agglomerates diversity changes that result from evolutionary and ecological processes operating at multiple spatial scales (e.g., Bambach 1977; Alroy 2000; Badgley 2003).”
- Global Completeness of the Bat Fossil Record (2009, background): “…patterns and processes involves either large-scale analyses of terrestrial land-mammals through the Cenozoic (e.g., Foote and Raup 1996; Alroy 2000), detailed examinations of relatively short, densely sampled fossil occurrences (e.g., Clyde and Gingerich 1994; Alba et al. 2001; Wood et…”
- Methodological concerns for analysis of phytolith assemblages: Does count size matter? (2009, background): “Concerns regarding insufficient count size (usually referred to as ‘‘sample size’’) are shared with other disciplines of paleoecology and paleontology, where it has attracted considerable attention in the literature (e.g., Stanton and Evans, 1972; Raup, 1975; Foote, 1992; Alroy, 2000).”
- Phylogeny and Evolutionary History of the Ground Squirrels (Rodentia: Marmotinae) (2003, methodology): “Dates for nodes 107, 108, and 110 are based on current minimum estimates for the named taxa, using John Alroy’s appearance event ordination technique (Alroy, 1994, 1996, 2000a,b,c; Alroy, pers. comm.).”
- Of mice, mastodons and men: human-mediated extinctions on four continents (2004, background): “Thus, any species extant today was likely extant during the late Pleistocene (Alroy, 2000).”
