Fish biodiversity and conservation in South America
Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 89, Issue 1, Page 12-47, July 2016., 2016 The freshwater and marine fish faunas of South America are the most diverse on Earth, with current species richness estimates standing above 9100 species. In addition, over the last decade at least 100 species were described every year. There are currently about 5160 freshwater fish species, and the estimate for the freshwater fish fauna alone points ...

FOSSIL IMPRINT OF A POWERFUL FLARE AT THE GALACTIC CENTER ALONG THE MAGELLANIC STREAM [PDF]
, 2013 The Fermi satellite discovery of the gamma-ray emitting bubbles extending 50° (10 kpc) from the Galactic center has revitalized earlier claims that our Galaxy has undergone an explosive episode in the recent past.

Drag of suction cup tags on swimming animals: Modeling and measurement
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 726-746, April 2014., 2014 Abstract Bio‐logging tags are widely used to study the behavior and movements of marine mammals with the tacit assumption of little impact to the animal. However, tags on fast‐swimming animals generate substantial hydrodynamic forces potentially affecting behavior and energetics adversely, or promoting early removal of the tag.

Rotation of the Milky Way and the formation of the Magellanic Stream [PDF]
, 2010 We studied the impact of the revisited values for the LSR circular velocity of the Milky Way (Reid et al. 2004) on the formation of the Magellanic Stream. The LSR circular velocity was varied within its observational uncertainties as a free parameter of the interaction between the Large (LMC) and the Small (SMC) Magellanic Clouds and the Galaxy.

A COMPACT HIGH VELOCITY CLOUD NEAR THE MAGELLANIC STREAM: METALLICITY AND SMALL-SCALE STRUCTURE [PDF]
, 2014 The Magellanic Stream (MS) is a well-resolved gaseous tail originating from the Magellanic Clouds. Studies of its physical properties and chemical composition are needed to understand its role in Galactic evolution.

The Natural Science Underlying Big History
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Nature’s many varied complex systems—including galaxies, stars, planets, life, and society—are islands of order within the increasingly disordered Universe. All organized systems are subject to physical, biological, or cultural evolution, which together comprise the grander interdisciplinary subject of cosmic evolution.

THE TIDAL ORIGIN OF THE MAGELLANIC STREAM AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A STELLAR COUNTERPART [PDF]
, 2011 We present an N-body model that reproduces the morphology and kinematics of the Magellanic Stream (MS), a vast neutral hydrogen (H i) structure that trails behind the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) in their orbit about the ...

The Effect of Drag from the Galactic Hot Halo on the Magellanic Stream and Leading Arm [PDF]
Publications Astronomical Society of Australia, 2011 We study the effect of drag induced by the Galactic hot halo on the two neutral hydrogen (HI) cloud complexes associated with the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds: the Magellanic Stream (MS) and the Leading Arm (LA).

Current Direct Neutrino Mass Experiments
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 In this contribution, we review the status and perspectives of direct neutrino mass experiments, which investigate the kinematics of β‐decays of specific isotopes (3H, 187Re, 163Ho) to derive model‐independent information on the averaged electron (anti)neutrino mass. After discussing the kinematics of β‐decay and the determination of the neutrino mass,
