Dr Peter Mayhew




Dr Peter Mayhew is a British biologist at the University of York in the United Kingdom. He is the lead author of a study showing a long-term association between global temperature and biodiversity, origination, and extinction in the fossil record.[1] This study demonstrated that biodiversity tends to be relatively low during greenhouse phases in Earth history and that extinction rates (including mass extinctions) tend to be higher.[2] On the basis of this work he was nominated as one of the "Great Britons of 2007".[3] He is also author of a textbook on evolutionary ecology.[4]
