New paper out in Geology! Cheilostome bryozoans evolved aragonite skeletons dozens of times during the transition from calcite to aragonite seas, in contrast to other marine calcifiers. Fossil occurrence data corroborate the story and help nail down the timeline. doi.org/10.1130/G537...

The white noise model is a statistical interpretation of stasis, which distinguishes it from a random walk process.

Stasis is defined as trait evolution similar to a white noise process (variation around a fixed mean). There is no cut-off for how much variation the trait mean can fluctuate around the steady state, so time series that fit stasis can actually show significant evolution (but with low net evolution).
