A comparison of the effects of random and selective mass extinctions on erosion of evolutionary history in communities of digital organisms.
The effect of mass extinctions on phylogenetic diversity and branching history of clades remains poorly understood in paleobiology. We examined the phylogenies of communities of digital organisms undergoing open-ended evolution as we subjected them to instantaneous "pulse" extinctions, cho...
