The PI has developed a broad database dealing with Silurian and Devonian problems, including brachiopod and gastropod taxonomy, morphology, biogeography, community paleoecology, correlation, geologic history, lithofacies, and paleoclimatic indicators. This database material provides material for syntheses useful for geologic and biologic purposes, and for some novel conclusions about geologic and biologic-evolutionary processes. Biogeographic syntheses are useful in checking global paleogeographies; community paleoecologic syntheses are useful in basin analysis (industrial and scholarly) and improved stratigraphic correlations involving biogeographic control; and studies in evolution are useful for all. Work on the evolutionary implications of both major and minor biostratigraphic breaks will provide a better understanding of community evolution, biographic history, adaptive radiations and biotic crises, and behavioral relations.

PI已经开发了一个处理志留纪和泥盆纪问题的广泛数据库，包括腕足动物和腹足动物分类、形态学、生物地理学、群落古生态学、对比、地质历史、岩相和古气候指标。该数据库材料为地质和生物学目的的合成提供了有用的材料，并为地质和生物进化过程的一些新结论提供了材料。生物地理综合在检查全球古地理方面是有用的；群落古生态综合可用于盆地分析（工业和学术）和改进涉及生物地理控制的地层对比；进化研究对所有人都有用。对主要和次要生物地层断裂的进化意义的研究将有助于更好地理解群落进化、传记历史、适应性辐射和生物危机以及行为关系。
