Evolutionary Model of Species Body Mass Diversification [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 038103 (2009), 2008
We present a quantitative model for the biological evolution of species body masses within large groups of related species, e.g., terrestrial mammals, in which body mass M evolves according to branching (speciation), multiplicative diffusion, and an extinction probability that increases logarithmically with mass.
