Mass Extinctions vs. Uniformitarianism in Biological Evolution
, 1995 It is usually believed that Darwin's theory leads to a smooth gradual evolution, so that mass extinctions must be caused by external shocks. However, it has recently been argued that mass extinctions arise from the intrinsic dynamics of Darwinian ...

Simpson's tachytely or bradytely? The importance of quantifying rate uncertainty
Methods in Ecology and EvolutionThe spectacular variation in species forms and richness across space and time can be explored using sophisticated and powerful tools recently developed by evolutionary modellers. In this contribution, we ask if the classic ‘Simpsonian’ view of tachytelic

A simple model to study phylogeographies and speciation patterns in space
, 2012 In this working paper, we present a simple theoretical framework based on network theory to study how speciation, the process by which new species appear, shapes spatial patterns of diversity.
