• Exceptional vertebrate biotas from the Triassic of China, and the expansion of marine ecosystems after the Permo-Triassic mass extinction (2013, background): “…while the fossil record of open ocean forms is influenced by sampling bias, especially the artificial diversity boosts of fossil Lagerstätten, shallow marine forms show strong correlation of diversity and sea level (Benson and Butler, 2011), suggesting a common cause effect (Peters, 2005).”
• Ecomorphological diversifications of Mesozoic marine reptiles: the roles of ecological opportunity and extinction (2016, unknown): “…show that the Middle to early Late Triassic was not just a time of marked proliferation in terms of species numbers (e.g., Benson et al. 2010; Benson and Butler 2011), but also a time of explosive phenotypic evolution — something that had only previously been noted speculatively based on…”
