Mass extinctions, diversification, and the nature of paleontoloy
Patterns of extinction and diversification in the Phanerozoic can be accounted for by stochastic models. This result may suggest that these general patterns of biotic evolution represent a huge number of largely independent processes rather than singular processes. Therefore, paleontologists should focus on individual events and chains of events rather than on the general patterns.
期刊介绍:
The journal is international and publishes original manuscripts in Spanish and, preferentially, British spelling English on all aspects of broad interest in palaeontology. Particularly, the SJP aims to communicate and promote palaeontological research to the global scientific community. Moreover, articles on new discoveries and approaches are especially welcome. Finally, studies of present-day material can be included if they have significant palaeontological relevance.
