Ulmer tend to infinity as the parameter $d \to\infty$. This is perhaps unexpected since by a result of A. Brumer, the average rank for all elliptic curves over a function field of positive characteristic is asymptotically bounded above by 2.3.Number TheoryAlgebraic Geometry11N25, 11R37, 14H52Rank statistics for a family of elliptic curves over a function fieldtext
