Diversification events and the effects of mass extinctions on Crocodyliformes evolutionary history
(2015)
The rich fossil record of Crocodyliformes shows a much greater diversity in the past than today in terms of morphological disparity and occupation of niches. We conducted topology-based analyses seeking diversification ...
Cladistics and mass extinctions: the example of conulariids (Scyphozoa, Cnidaria) and the End Ordovician Extinction Event
(Oxford, 2014)
The End Ordovician Extinction Event (EOEE) had little impact on supra-specific diversity and disparity within the order Conulariida (Scyphozoa, Cnidaria). With two possible exceptions (Exoconularia and Glyptoconularia), ...
NetworkExtinction: An R package to simulate extinction propagation and rewiring potential in ecological networks
(2023)
Earth's biosphere is undergoing drastic reorganization due to the sixth mass extinction brought on by the Anthropocene. Impacts of local and regional extirpation of species have been demonstrated to propagate through the ...
Selective extinction of late Neogene bivalves on the temperate Pacific coast of South America
(PALEONTOLOGICAL SOC INC, 2007)
We assessed selective extinction patterns in bivalves during a late Neogene mass extinction event observed along the temperate Pacific coast of South America. The analysis of 99 late Neogene and Quaternary fossil sites ...

An index for defaunation
(2013-07-01)
Defaunation, originally conceived as the loss of large vertebrates due to hunting or fragmentation, has been widely used in conservation studies yet the term has been arbitrarily used and poorly defined. Here we refine ...
