Ontogenetic niche shifts are extremely common features of the life-cycles of diverse organisms (Werner and Gilliam1984; Fryxell and Sinclair1988; Post2003). Understanding the mechanisms that promote these shifts is a highly active area of research in ecology as important variables would clearly be im...

whereMathMLis the normalized mean sideward spectral irradiance that was assumed to adapt the fish eye, calculated as the time-average of 3,000 consecutive sideward irradiance measurements. We modeled two types of opponent channels: (i) a channel that compares the outputs of one single cone and...
whole of its ontogenetic development from the fertilized egg the cell to the stage of maturity, when the organism begins to reproduce itself. Now, this whole four-dimensional pattern is known to be determined by the structure of that one cell, the fertilized egg. Moreover, we know that it ...
and that since the cervical BYU 9024 that has been referred to it actually belongs toBarosaurus, we can’t trust any of the other referrals of big Dry Mesa diplodocid bones toSupersaurus; and that the name must therefore be considered a nomen dubium, resting as it does o...
