• The extended evolutionary synthesis: its structure, assumptions and predictions (2015, background): “EES-style thinking has already contributed constructively to several research questions, including: how do complex novel traits originate? [27,49,57,131,135–137]; how does inclusive inheritance affect the evolutionary process? [60–63,67,68,79,80,138–140]; and how do macro-evolutionary patterns arise”
• New developments in goblet cell mucus secretion and function (2015, unknown): “A digestive system can be traced back to early metazoans and Cambrian evolution (1), long before an adaptive immune system developed.”
• Ecological drivers of the Ediacaran-Cambrian diversification of Metazoa (2012, unknown): “The ecological mechanisms occur within a complex milieu, and a full understanding requires integration across a broad range of disciplines Erwin and Valentine (2012).”
• The Cambrian Conundrum: Early Divergence and Later Ecological Success in the Early History of Animals (2011, background): “Evolutionary radiations are often described as the invasion of “empty” ecological space, but the transition from the Ediacaran to the Cambrian involved far-reaching changes in benthic and neritic ecosystems and the de novo construction of complex metazoan ecological networks (63, 64).”
• Origin and early diversification of the phylum Cnidaria Verrill: major developments in the analysis of the taxon's Proterozoic–Cambrian history (2014, result): “Thus, and in agreement with the most recent molecular estimates (e.g. Erwin et al. 2011; Fatka et al. 2012; Erwin and Valentine 2013), the fossil record of scyphozoans indicates that there must have been a fairly long interval of cnidarian evolution prior to latest Ediacaran times.”
