Approximate evolutionary stasis for bivalve morphology over millions of years; a multivariate, multilineage study
Steven M. Stanley,Xiangning Yang +1 more
TL;DR: To characterize rates or evolution for any group of organisms, one must employ a large, unbiased sample of measurements for numerous well-documented lineages and one must segregate data depicting shape from data depicting size.

Depressed rates of origination and extinction during the late Paleozoic ice age: A new state for the global marine ecosystem
TL;DR: For example, this article showed that the rates of origination and extinction for marine animal genera dropped to low levels in latest Mississippian time, immediately after massive glaciers formed in the Southern Hemisphere and a second-order mass extinction occurred.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatic cooling and mass extinction of Paleozoic reef communities
TL;DR: A variety of patterns suggest that climatic cooling was the primary cause of the extinction of organic reef communities late in the Ordovician, Devonian, and Permian periods as mentioned in this paper.
Book
Earth and life through time
TL;DR: A revision of the best-selling historical geology text, completely updated to provide a thorough but lucid introduction to the principles of historical Geology, is presented in this paper, where the material is organized clearly and logically.
