Global Tectonics and the Fossil Record
TL;DR: In this paper, the diversity patterns are partially the products of the adaptive strategies followed by populations in different resource regimes; high diversities correlate with stable regimes and low diversities with fluctuating regimes.

Species diversity in the Phanerozoic; a tabulation
TL;DR: In this article, it was found that about 190,000 fossil invertebrate species were described and named through 1970, about 70% of which were described from USSR, Europe, and North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Models for biotic survival following mass extinction
TL;DR: Fryxell et al. as discussed by the authors suggested a number of potential survival mechanisms or strategies which have evolved in diverse taxa and which could have allowed them to survive mass extinction intervals, including rapid evolution, preadaptation, neoteny/progenesis, protected and/or unperturbed habitat, refugia species, disaster species, opportunism, broad adaptive ranges, persistent trophic resources, widespread and rapid dispersion, dormancy, bacterial-chemosymbioses, reproductive mechanisms, larval characteristics and chance.

Higher Taxa in Biodiversity Studies: Patterns from Eastern Pacific Marine Molluscs
TL;DR: This premise that higher taxa can provide insights into other macroecological patterns that are not evident from a simple tabulation of species is evaluated by using a large database of benthic marine molluscs from the eastern Pacific.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plate tectonic regulation of global marine animal diversity
TL;DR: Results suggest that continental fragmentation, particularly during the Mesozoic breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea, has exerted a first-order control on the long-term trajectory of Phanerozoic marine animal diversity.

Pattern and Process in Competition
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the development of competition theory, which has traditionally included three stages: inferences drawn from observation of natural populations, construction of mathematical models, and laboratory experiments designed to test elements of competitive interactions in controlled environments.

Faunal diversity in the deep-sea
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the diversity in the deep-sea benthos is not an artifact of sampling procedure and demonstrates that the deep seafloor is not faunally depauperate, as commonly believed.
