Phanerozoic trends in the global diversity of marine invertebrates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new data set of fossil occurrences representing 3.5 million specimens was presented, and it was shown that global and local diversity was less than twice as high in the Neogene as in the mid-Paleozoic.
Journal ArticleDOI

A quantitative null model of additive diversity partitioning: examining the response of beta diversity to extinction

TL;DR: A null model that examines changes in β diversity as a function of percent extinction is presented, and data agree with the abundant-selective model, showing declines in α, β, and γ diversities, and a decrease in α1 and increase in β3, which suggests this extinction may have targeted abundant taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecological restructuring after extinction: the late ordovician (mohawkian) of the eastern united states

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine community-level paleoecological change across this extinction boundary, using field censusing of macroinvertebrate genera for the Nashville Dome of Tennessee, the Jessamine Dome of central Kentucky, and the Valley and Ridge area of western Virginia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Turning the page: The importance of faculty‐led book clubs

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors recall the experiences of several community college faculty and their opportunities to facilitate book clubs on their campuses, and recall their experiences of participating in these groups as a form of professional development for college faculty.
