- Changing Paleoclimates and Mass Extinctions: A New Model for Climatic Change
Proposes a hypothesis which presents arguments for a long-term cyclicity in paleoclimates, and attempts to correlate this cyclicity with major extinction events.

- Mass Extinctions
Discusses the patterns that paleontologists have seen between the various mass extinctions throughout time.

- Mathematical Model for Mass Extinction
Presents a model demonstrating how the evolution process might interact with environmental stresses to produce a distribution of extinctions very similar to that seen in the fossil record.
