ALEGRET, L., Recovery of the deep-sea floor after the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary event: The benthic foraminiferal record in the Basque–Cantabrian basin and in South-eastern Spain. — Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, v. 255, 2007, p. 181–194, 6 figures. — "A detailed analysis of the Upper Cretaceous and lower Paleogene benthic foraminiferal assemblages (>63 µm) from the middle bathyal Loya section (Basque–Cantabrian Basin, Southwestern France) has been carried out. The benthic foraminiferal and palaeoenvironmental turnover across the K/Pg boundary at Loya has been compared to that observed in the nearby Bidart section. . ." (from Abstract).

ALLEN, A. P., and SAVAGE, V. M., Setting the absolute tempo of biodiversity dynamics. — Ecology Letters, v. 10, 2007, p. 637–646, 5 figures, 1 table, 1 appendix. — "Setting the absolute tempo yields quantitative predictions on biodiversity dynamics that can be tested using contemporary and fossil data. Allowing incipient-species abundances greater than one individual yields predictions on how these dynamics, and the form of the species-abundance distribution, are affected by multiple speciation modes. We apply this new model to contemporary and fossil data that encompass 30 Myr of macroevolution for planktonic foraminifera. . ." (from Abstract).
