Expanding the Ichnofacies Model to Tidal Straits: Testing Predictions and Assessing Anomalies
ABSTRACT Trace fossils are instrumental in facies analysis, but some depositional environments remain underexplored. Cenozoic deposits in Italy have been studied to evaluate the ichnology of tidal straits. These comprise four zones: (1) strait centre, (2) dune‐bedded strait zone, (3) strait end and (4) strait margin.

Synopsis Animal phyla are distinguished by their body plans, the ways in which their bodies are organized. A distinction is made, for example, among phyla with bodies of many segments (metameric; e.g., annelids, arthropods, and chordates), others with completely unsegmented bodies (americ; e.g., flatworms and mollusks), and a few phyla ...

Estimating the abundance of clustered and cryptic marine macro-invertebrates in the Galápagos with particular reference to sea cucumbers [PDF]
Estimating the abundance of marine macro-invertebrates is complicated by a variety of factors: 1) human factors, such as diver efficiency and diver error; and 2) biological factors, such as aggregation of organisms, crypsis, and nocturnal emergence ...
