Earthquake recurrence as a record breaking process

We extend the notion of waiting times for a point process to recurrent events in space-time. Earthquake B is a recurrence of a previous one, A, if no intervening earthquake happens after A and before B in the spatial disc centered on A with radius AB. The cascade of recurrent events, where each later recurrence to an event is closer in space than all previous ones, forms a sequence of records. ...

Dinosaur diversity and the rock record.

Palaeobiodiversity analysis underpins macroevolutionary investigations, allowing identification of mass extinctions and adaptive radiations. However, recent large-scale studies on marine invertebrates indicate that geological factors play a central role in moulding the shape of diversity curves and imply that many features of such curves represent sampling artefacts, rather than genuine evoluti...
