It is also significant to me for a couple other reasons. First, I had originally intended to isolate the impact of extinction itself on observed evolutionary substitution rates and, after almost a year, was able to accomplish that. But when I dove into the background literature for the manuscript, I soon discovered that John Gillespie had scooped me&#8230; by about 40 years! As I sadly shut down the project, I realized that the complementary problem had not been touched, &#8220;saving&#8221; my sabbatical. \u00a0The second backstory harkens to a question Marc Mangel asked on my PhD qualifier that I miserably failed to answer (and probably should have been flunked for). I think this paper would be a good enough answer for Marc and makes me feel at long last like I have legitimately earned my PhD in applied mathematics.<\/i><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a style=\"color: #00a5bd\" href=\"http:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/gomulki\/publications\/\">1990&#8217;s<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a style=\"color: #00a5bd\" href=\"http:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/gomulki\/publications\/2000s\/\">2000&#8217;s<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a style=\"color: #00a5bd\" href=\"http:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/gomulki\/publications\/2010s\/\">2010&#8217;s<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a style=\"color: #00a5bd\" href=\"http:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/gomulki\/publications\/2020s\/\">2020&#8217;s<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a style=\"color: #00a5bd\" href=\"http:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/gomulki\/publications\/favorites\/\">favorites<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Favorites<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few\u00a0of my publications that are, for various reasons, among the favorites I have worked on.<\/p>\n<p>Gomulkiewicz, R., and M.
