Leigh Van Valen (1935–2010) was an American evolutionary biologist and paleontologist who spent much of his career at the University of Chicago. He is best known for proposing the Red Queen hypothesis in a 1973 paper, which posits that organisms must constantly adapt and evolve merely to survive aga...

Roger Benson is a British paleobiologist who serves as a curator at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. His research focuses on the macroevolution of vertebrates, particularly the evolution of dinosaurs and marine reptiles. Benson employs quantitative and computational methods to stu...

Mike Foote is an American paleobiologist and professor known for his quantitative research on the history of life and the fossil record. Much of his work involves using large-scale databases to analyze trends in biodiversity, evolutionary rates, and extinction across the Phanerozoic eon. He has publ...

Richard J. Butler is a British vertebrate paleontologist serving as a professor at the University of Birmingham. His academic research is primarily focused on the macroevolution, early origins, and diversification of archosaurs, specifically during the Triassic period. He is noted for his extensive...

Michael Foote is an American paleontologist and a professor at the University of Chicago, known for his contributions to the field of evolutionary paleobiology.

Charles Marshall is a British-American paleontologist who serves as a professor at Harvard University and the director of the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. His research focuses on quantitative studies of the fossil record, with particular emphasis on the Cambrian explosion and mass extincti...

Steven M. Stanley is an American geologist and paleobiologist whose research examined macroevolution, biodiversity, and the fossil record. He is associated with the escalation hypothesis, which links long-term evolutionary change to interactions such as predation and competition. Stanley also wrote...

Douglas H. Erwin is an American paleobiologist and senior scientist at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. His research focuses primarily on macroevolution, evolutionary innovations, and mass extinctions, particularly the Permian-Triassic extinction event. Erwin has contributed signi...

Michael J. Benton is a British paleontologist and professor of vertebrate paleontology at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on macroevolution, the evolutionary history of tetrapods, and major extinction events, particularly the Permian-Triassic mass extinction. He has authored numerous...
