An overview of tree ecology and forest studies in the Northern Western Ghats of India

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry
The forests of the Western Ghats (WG) of India are a highly diverse ecosystem though altered over time by human interference. The Northern Western Ghats (NWG) differ in bioclimatic and geological characteristics from the rest of the Western Ghats ...

New information on Late Triassic sauropodomorph dinosaurs provides support for the independent acquisition of postcranial skeletal pneumaticity in avemetatarsalian lineages

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
PSP in early‐branching sauropodomorphs probably evolved first in the neural arches of the posterior cervical vertebrae, expanding anteriorly and posteriorly along the vertebral column. The distribution of PSP in Late Triassic early‐branching sauropodomorphs does not appear to be correlated with body size.

Morphology and osteo‐histology of the weigeltisaurid wing: Implications for aerial locomotion in the world's first gliding reptiles

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the morphology and osteo‐histology of the wing skeleton of the world's first gliding reptiles, showing how it differs from those of extant gliding lizards, yet is also convergently similar. These findings pave the way for future biomechanical studies on the gliding locomotion of these emblematic fossil animals. Abstract The Late

On the squamation of Australerpeton cosgriffi Barberena, a temnospondyl amphibian from the Upper Permian of Brazil

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2002
Abdominal scales of a juvenile specimen of Australerpeton cosgriffi Barberena 1998 are made of primary compact bone rich in osteocyte lacunae; vascular canals and primary osteons are rare with no sign of remodelling of the tissue by resorption and ...

Marked Ericales diversity in late Oligocene–Early Miocene palynofloras from northern Thailand suggests stratified mountain forests

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
A total of 24 different ericalean pollen types were recovered from the Ban Pa Kha Subbasin, Li Basin, northern Thailand. Based on the ecological preferences of their modern analogs, the assemblage of dispersed ericalean pollen likely derives from more than one vegetation type and possibly from different vertical zones of mountainous areas, as indicated

Proměny přístupů studia neandertálců – s příkladem výzkumů v Portugalsku

AntropoWebzin, 2012
Neandetherthal skeletal remains are the first described and longest-studied modern human ancestors. The history of research on Neanderthals dates back to the discovery of the first specimen in the Feldhoffer cave in 1856. Initially, the debate focused on

Systematics and paleobiology of fossil Crustacea. Preface

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
In recent years, the number of conributions and specialists on fossil Crustacea has grown around the world. In 2000, the First Workshop on Mesozoic and Tertiary Decapod Crustaceans was held in Italy, with the participation of many specialists, mainly ...

Magnetostratigraphy and Source Characterisation Across the Early Miocene Unconformity, Northern Rocky Mountains, USA

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The early Miocene unconformity (EMU) formed during a transition in the tectonic regime of western North America that coincided with faunal diversification. The Railroad Canyon section in the northern Rocky Mountains provides a complete geologic record around this event. Our new magnetostratigraphic study in combination with published U‐Pb ages

Kuroko Deposits of NE Japan: The Product of High‐Temperature, Shallow Felsic Volcanism in a Deepening Continental Rift

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Hokuroku district of NE Japan hosts the type locality for Kuroko volcanic‐hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) deposits, which are the product of seafloor hydrothermal venting in a continental rift during the opening of the Sea of Japan in the Miocene.
