  • Body Size Evolution Across the Geozoic 
    Smith, Felisa A.; Payne, Jonathan L.; Heim, Noel A.; Balk, Meghan A.; Finnegan, Seth; Kowalewski, Michal; Lyons, S. K.; McClain, Craig R.; McShea, Daniel W.; Novack-Gottshall, Philip; Anich, Paula Spaeth; Wang, Steve C. (2016)
    The Geozoic encompasses the 3.6 Ga interval in Earth history when life has existed. Over this time, life has diversified from exclusively tiny, single-celled organisms to include large, complex multicellular forms. Just ...
  • A Cretaceous peak in family-level insect diversity estimated with mark-recapture methodology 
    Schachat, Sandra R.; Labandeira, Conrad C.; Clapham, Matthew E.; Payne, Jonathan L. (2019)
    The history of insects' taxonomic diversity is poorly understood. The two most common methods for estimating taxonomic diversity in deep time yield conflicting results: the 'range through' method suggests a ...
  • Ecophenotypic responses of benthic foraminifera to oxygen availability along an oxygen gradient in the California Borderland 
    Keating-Bitonti, Caitlin R.; Payne, Jonathan L. (2017)
    Spatial variation in environmental conditions can elicit predictable size and morphological responses in marine organisms through influences on physiology. Thus, spatial and temporal variation in marine organism size and ...
  • Environmental influence on growth history in marine benthic foraminifera 
    Keating-Bitonti, Caitlin; Payne, Jonathan L. (2018)
    Energy availability influences natural selection on the ontogenetic histories of organisms. However, it remains unclear whether physiological controls on size remain constant throughout ontogeny or instead shift as organisms ...
  • Escargots through time: an energetic comparison of marine gastropod assemblages before and after the Mesozoic Marine Revolution 
    Finnegan, Seth; McClain, Craig M.; Kosnik, Matthew A.; Payne, Jonathan L. (2011)
    The modern structure of marine benthic ecosystems was largely established during the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous (200-100 Ma), a transition that has been termed the Mesozoic Marine Revolution (MMR). Although it has been ...
  • The evolutionary consequences of oxygenic photosynthesis: a body size perspective 
    Payne, Jonathan L.; McClain, Craig R.; Boyer, Alison G.; Brown, James H.; Finnegan, Seth; Kowalewski, Michal; Krause, Richard A.; Lyons, Sara K.; McShea, Daniel W.; Novack-Gottshall, Philip M.; Smith, Felisa A.; Spaeth, Paula; Stempien, Jennifer A.; Wang, Steve C. (2011)
  • Generating and testing hypotheses about the fossil record of insect herbivory with a theoretical ecospace 
    Schachat, Sandra R.; Payne, Jonathan L.; Boyce, C. Kevin; Labandeira, Conrad C. (2022)
    A typical fossil flora examined for insect herbivory contains a few hundred leaves and a dozen or two insect damage types. Paleontologists employ a wide variety of metrics to assess differences in herbivory among assemblages: ...
  • The Geozoic Supereon 
    Kowalewski, Michal; Payne, Jonathan L.; Smith, Felisa A.; Wang, SteveC; McShea, Daniel W.; Xiao, Shuhai; Novak-Gottshall, Philip M.; McClain, Craig R.; Krause, Jr,R.A.; Boyer, Alison; Finnegan, Seth; Lyons, S. Kathleen; Stempien, Jennifer A.; Alroy, John; Spaeth, Paula A. (2011)
  • Illusion of flight? Absence, evidence and the age of winged insects 
    Schachat, Sandra R.; Goldstein, Paul Z.; Desalle, Rob; Bobo, Dean M.; Boyce, C. Kevin; Payne, Jonathan L.; Labandeira, Conrad C. (2023)
    The earliest fossils of winged insects (Pterygota) are mid-Carboniferous (latest Mississippian, 328–324 Mya), but estimates of their age based on fossil-calibrated molecular phylogenetic studies place their origin at 440–370 ...
  • Phanerozoic pO2 and the early evolution of terrestrial animals 
    Schachat, Sandra R.; Labandeira, Conrad C.; Saltzman, Matthew R.; Cramer, Bradley D.; Payne, Jonathan L.; Boyce, C. K. (2018)
    Concurrent gaps in the Late Devonian/Mississippian fossil records of insects and tetrapods (i.e. Romer's Gap) have been attributed to physiological suppression by low atmospheric pO2 Here, updated stable isotope inputs ...
  • Two-phase increase in the maximum size of life over 3.5 billion years reflects biological innovation and environmental opportunity 
    Payne, Jonathan L.; Boyer, Alison G.; Brown, James H.; Finnegan, Seth; Kowalewski, Michal; Krause, Richard A.; Lyons, Sara K.; McClain, Craig R.; McShea, Daniel W.; Novack-Gottshall, Philip M.; Smith, Felisa A.; Stempien, Jennifer A.; Wang, Steve C. (2009)
    The maximum size of organisms has increased enormously since the initial appearance of life >3.5 billion years ago (Gya), but the pattern and timing of this size increase is poorly known. Consequently, controls underlying ...
