    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 98:6261-6. 2001
    ..However, such factors as the current emphasis in the database on North America and Europe still obscure our view of the global history of marine biodiversity. These limitations will be addressed as the database and methods are refined...

    John Alroy
    National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, University of California, 735 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, USA
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:11536-42. 2008
    ..Furthermore, the lack of any significant autocorrelation in the data is inconsistent with macroevolutionary theories of periodicity or self-organized criticality...
  3. ncbi Phanerozoic trends in the global diversity of marine invertebrates
    John Alroy
    National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, University of California Santa Barbara, 735 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, USA
    Science 321:97-100. 2008
    ..The ratio of global to local richness has changed little, and a latitudinal diversity gradient was present in the early Paleozoic...

    Department of Paleobiology, Smithsonian Institution, MRC 121, Washington, D C 20560, USA
    Syst Biol 48:107-18. 1999
    ..The fact that there was an early Cenozoic mammalian radiation is entirely compatible with the existence of a few Cretaceous splits among modern mammal lineages...
  6. ncbi How many named species are valid?

    National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, USA
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 99:3706-11. 2002
    ..If so, then current estimates of total global diversity could be revised downwards to as low as 3.5-10.5 million species...

    J Alroy
    National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, University of California, 735 State Street, Suite 300, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, USA
    Science 292:1893-6. 2001
    ..Results are robust to variation in unconstrained parameters. This fully mechanistic model accounts for megafaunal extinction without invoking climate change and secondary ecological effects...

    National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, USA
    Science 312:897-900. 2006
    ..We also find that taxonomic richness and occurrence data are cross-correlated, which justifies the traditional use of one as a proxy of the other...

    Gabriel J Bowen
    Department of Earth Sciences, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, USA
    Science 295:2062-5. 2002
