Anatomy of an invasion: the trans-Arctic interchange
- G. Vermeij
- Biology
- 1 July 1991
When the Bering Strait between Alaska and Siberia opened about 3.5 Ma during the early Pliocene, cool-temperate and polar marine species were able to move between the North Pacific and… Expand
Evolution and Escalation: An Ecological History of Life
- G. Vermeij

The Mesozoic marine revolution: evidence from snails, predators and grazers
- G. Vermeij
- Biology
- 1 July 1977
Tertiary and Recent marine gastropods include in their ranks a complement of mechanically sturdy forms unknown in earlier epochs. Open coiling, planispiral coiling, and umbilici detract from shell… Expand

Approaching a state shift in Earth’s biosphere
- A. Barnosky, E. Hadly, +19 authors A. Smith
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 7 June 2012
Localized ecological systems are known to shift abruptly and irreversibly from one state to another when they are forced across critical thresholds. Here we review evidence that the global ecosystem… Expand
A natural history of shells
- G. Vermeij
- Engineering
- 1993
Geerat Vermeij wrote this "celebration of shells" to share his enthusiasm for these supremely elegant creations and what they can teach us about nature. Most other popular books on shells emphasize… Expand
EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF NORTHERN HEMISPHERE NUCELLA (GASTROPODA, MURICIDAE): MOLECULAR, MORPHOLOGICAL, ECOLOGICAL, AND PALEONTOLOGICAL EVIDENCE
- T. Collins, K. Frazer, A. R. Palmer, G. Vermeij, W. Brown
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 December 1996
By combining data from a variety of sources we explore patterns of evolution and speciation in Nucella, a widely studied genus of shallow‐water marine neogastropods. We present a hypothesis of… Expand
Don't judge species on their origins
- M. A. Davis, M. Chew, +16 authors J. C. Briggs
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 8 June 2011
Conservationists should assess organisms on environmental impact rather than on whether they are natives, argue Mark Davis and 18 other ecologists.
AN AGENDA FOR INVASION BIOLOGY
- G. Vermeij
- Biology
- 1 October 1996
Here I advocate a comparative and systematic approach in which invasion (the extension of species ranges to areas not previously occupied by that species) is studied from the perspective of… Expand
When Biotas Meet: Understanding Biotic Interchange
- G. Vermeij
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 6 September 1991
When the barrier between biotas with long separate histories breaks down, species invade from one biota to the other. Studies of episodes of marine and terrestrial biotic interchange that have… Expand
