Systems of ordinary stochastic differential equations (SDEs) are derived that describe the evolutionary dynamics of genera and species. Two different hypotheses are made in the model construction, specifically, the rate of change of the number of genera is either proportional to the number of genera in the family or is proportional to the number of species in the family. Asymptotic and exact mean numbers of species per genera are derived for both hypotheses. Computational results for the derived systems of SDEs agree well with the observed results for several families. Moreover, for each family, the SDE models yield estimates of variability in the processes which are difficult to obtain using classical methods to study the dynamics of species and genera formation.
Keywords: macroevolutionary process., Stochastic system of differential equations.
