Über Autor(innen)

Lee-Ann C. Hayek is chief mathematical statistician and senior research scientist of the Smithsonian Institution and a fellow of the American Statistical Association and the Royal Statistical Society. She is internationally known for her many publications in a wide variety of fields, including biodiversity assessment.

Martin A. Buzas is curator of benthic foraminifera and senior geologist in the Department of Paleobiology at the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution. His research focuses on the quantitative understanding of the distribution of organisms in small and large amounts of space and time. A fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, The Paleontological Society, and the Cushman Foundation, he has received the Cushman Award and the Paleontological Society Medal, the field's most prestigious award.
