Results of deep-sea tow and submersible surveys have led some authors to suspect that Okinawa Jima and Miyako Jima were connected by a land bridge sometime during the period from 0.24 Ma to 20 ka, followed by rapid subsidence (Monma et al. 1991; Kimura et al. 1991, 1992). However, thi...
The transition in biology from description to mechanistic understanding during the 20th century was due in large part to a conscious decision to employ model organisms. The idea of a model organism is that if one wants to study a particular aspect of biology, it makes sense to employ a simple...
In the 1970s it was suggested that during the Phanerozoic Eon a single transition from `calcite seas' to `aragonite seas' occurred, either in the Cenozoic Era (Sandberg, 1975) or Carboniferous Period (Milliken and Pigott, 1977). Wilkinson (1979)argued for a corresponding one-time shift in ...
dinosaurs. Most of the Mesozoic theropods were sharp-toothed predators, although there have been a few toothless, possibly herbivorous groups. During the Jurassic (or possibly Triassic), some theropods evolved into feathered, flying forms. Their ...
Channelisation of the stream in the 1920s and 1930s was accompanied by the establishment of a cascade of fishponds in the middle section of the catchment, supplied partially with mine waters discharged to the stream. At present, the fishponds still receive waters from the Matylda stream and ...
