Estimate of surface PCO2, in the Gulf of California from underway pH measurements and satellite imagery

Ciencias Marinas, 1997
The feasibility of estimating the partial pressure of CO2 (PCO2) from underway measurements of sea-surface temperature, pH, salinity and specific alkalinity was tested in the Gulf of California; PCO2 was also estimated from satellite-obtained sea-surface

Dental crown morphological variation and heterodonty in carcharhiniform sharks

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Elasmobranch teeth are highly mineralized structures that constitute the majority of the fossil record for this group. Despite their taxonomic and evolutionary significance, detailed descriptions of dental morphology remain scarce. The order Carcharhiniformes, the most diverse among sharks, comprises 304 valid species that display remarkable ...

First record of orcas (Orcinus orca) preying on a prickly shark (Echinorhinus cookei) in the Gulf of California: insights into shark ecology

Frontiers in Fish Science
The first documented instance of predation on a prickly shark (Echinorhinus cookei) by orcas (Orcinus orca) in the shallow waters of the southwestern Gulf of California, particularly around Cerralvo Island, is presented. The observation was made possible

Fine-scale site fidelity in California sea lions, Zalophus californianus, in the colony at Los Islotes, La Paz Bay, Mexico

Ciencias Marinas, 2019
Fine-scale site fidelity in polygynous pinnipeds influences individual interactions, social stability, and gene flow; over time, demographic processes may be altered, and local extinction of some colonies may occur.

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

SURFACE HYDROGRAPHY IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF CALIFORNIA TAKEN BY A THERMOSALINOMETER

Ra Ximhai, 2017
Through direct measurements of temperature, salinity and density obtained by a thermosalinometer in the northern Gulf of California, superficial scalar fields were obtained for these variables in the periods of January, March, June 1995 and March ...

Challenges and Opportunities in Multi‐Method Integrated Geophysical Prospection of Buried Building Remains at the Sanctuary of Olympia

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ancient Olympia was one of the most important sanctuaries and the venue for the Olympic Games in Greek and Roman times. Its remains are located in the Olympia Terrace (Peloponnese, Greece) at the present‐day confluence of the rivers Alpheios and Kladeos at the base of Mount Kronos.

Spatial and temporal changes in the cetacean community structure at Bahía de La paz, BCS, México (1988-1991)

Ciencias Marinas, 1996
At two different ecological zones (Canal de San Lorenzo and transitional), located at Bahía de La Paz, we analysed changes in the cetacean community (Shannon and Simpson indexes) in relation to annual and seasonal changes in sea surface temperature ...

Poseidon's Sanctuary at Samikon—The Discovery of an Ancient Temple Through an Integrated Geophysical and Geoarchaeological Survey Approach for Lagoonal and Swampy Environments

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Below the classical fortress of Samikon at the coast of the western Peloponnese, ancient writer Strabo mentioned a sanctuary of Poseidon which served as the centre of the religious association of the Triphylian cities. In this paper, we describe the discovery and investigation of a building structure by means of geophysical and ...

“Hands‐On” white matter anatomy: Using Air Anatomy gestures and tractography on simple brain sections to enhance teaching of white matter directions

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Teaching white matter (WM) anatomy to undergraduates is challenging. This is partly because WM fibers are oriented intricately and Klingler's dissection, the gold standard method used to demonstrate it, often requires time, advanced anatomical knowledge, and refined dissection skills.
