2、sists of fragments of landland plant material, including wood, cuticle (the waxy surface found on some leaves), sap (amber), spores and pollen. each of these can be present in varying degrees of degradation due to decay near the surface and cooking due to burial in thick sediments. ...
32 to infer, for each fossil taxon, the probability of having been endothermic, using quantitative osteohistology. Mid-diaphyseal femoral cross sections of extinct tetrapodomorphs were examined. The sample set, consisting of 31 specimens representing 24 genera (except for †Whatcheeria), is ...
Each chapter begins with a brie...: The green turtle Chelonia mydas is one of two marine turtle species to nest in Turkey. Its three main nesting beaches are in eastern Turkey, with possibly the densest congregation of nesting turtles in the Mediterranean being found at KazaMCCABE, Peter J...
where it was left stirring for a further 24 h to allow remaining oxygen to degas. The temperature was maintained at 25 +/− 1 oC. Each experiment was carried out in 1 L low-density polyethylene (LDPE) bottles which were triple wrapped in Al foil to prevent photolysis reactions...
Two young people attempt to share a kiss with each other while wearing gas masks during an Earth Day pollution protest march. Earth Day’s success helped spur action in Washington on behalf of the environment. Just eight months later, Congress authorized the creation of the Environmental Protectio...
shell periostracum. A gene tree of the Scaly-foot Snail DMBT1 shows that the paralogues segregate into two clades, with only one copy from each clade being present in the vetigastropodHaliotisgenome (Supplementary Fig. 5). Molluscan shell matrix proteins are commonly rich in repetitive low-...
The findings help explain important features of the fossil record, such as why so few early fish fossils are found intact; the wave action of the shallow ocean area likely blasted them into tiny fragments. It also helps scientists make sense of the fact that, over evolutionary time, many fis...
The fuel-oxygen mass (wt%) contents, overall stoichiometric air/fuel ratios, and net heating values of fuel blends E0–E5 or B0–B5 were estimated bearing in mind the mixing percentages of each component involved and the respective data of the diesel fuel, HRD fuel, ethanol, or rapeseed ...
