Fans of grisly mass death may get a sadistic thrill out of my 1999 contribution to the MacPhee Extinctions In Near Time book. It was so strident that the author of one of the other chapters felt obligated to pre-emptively nuke it, even though I'd never even heard of the guy.

My 1999 Systematic Biology paper on the K-T mass extinction and Paleocene evolutionary radiation (PDF) breaks all of that journal's rules by including no molecular data. No, really, "paleontological data" is not an oxymoron...

My 1998 book chapter in the McKinney-Drake Biodiversity Dynamics book just went on and on and on and on. Guess I'm no Hemingway.

My contorted May, 1998 paper on Cope's rule and the evolution of body mass in North American mammals (PDF) was too good to be true, so I figured it had to be based on a programming error. But it was slippery enough to fool Science... WARNING: I have discovered after the fact that my derivation of the equation in the caption of figure 2 is dubious. On the off chance that you might care, simply ignore it. The main results do not depend on this equation.
