Fishes of the Mio-Pliocene Western Snake River Plain and Vicinity.
(2018-07-31)
Hybridization and introgression permitted gene transfer from Catostomus to Lake Suckers in modern and MioPliocene lakes of Western United States. Lake Sucker genera, Chasmistes, Deltistes, and Xyrauchen, were sympatric ...
Dichopetala And New Related North American Genera: A Study In Genitalic Similarity In Sympatry And Genitalic Differences In Allopatry (Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae: Odonturini)
(2013-07-01)
The genus Dichopetala Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 sensu Rehn and Hebard, 1914 is revised, with the description of 6 new genera and 14 new species...
A New Species Of The Miniaturized Frog Genus Paedophryne (Anura: Microhylidae) From Papua New Guinea
(2015-08-20)
ABSTRACT – I describe a new species of Paedophryne from low-elevation foothill
rainforest on Normanby Island off southeastern Papua New Guinea. This new species is
the largest member of the genus so far discovered, with ...
Taxonomic Status Of The Neotropical Caecilian Genera Brasilotyphlus Taylor, 1968, Microcaecilia Taylor, 1968 And Parvicaecilia Taylor, 1968 (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Siphonopidae)
(2013-07-01)
ABSTRACT — We review the taxonomic history and assess the status of three genera of siphonopid caecilians from South America. Evidence from dentition and squamation suggest that Microcaecilia is paraphyletic with respect ...

Fishes of the Mio-Pliocene Western Snake River Plain and Vicinity.
(2017-05-25)
We studied Rhinicthys osculus and its close relatives to discover evolutionary processes that operated to produce this widespread, polytypic fish group in an intermountain landscape of hundreds of small, isolated drainages. ...
The Natural History of Ants of Michigan's E. S. George Reserve: A 26 Year Study
(2012-11-01)
The results of a 26-summer study of the ants on an 1146 acre (464 ha) natural history reserve in southeastern Michigan are presented. Habitat distribution and nest construction for each of the 87 species are recorded. The ...
DNA FROM FECES AND MUSEUM SPECIMENS CONFIRMS A FIRST STATE RECORD BIRD
(2013-05-30)
ABSTRACT.— In October 2005, a vagrant kingbird (Aves: Tyrannus sp.) appeared in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, nearly 2000 km from the northern limit of its usual range. Using mitochondrial DNA obtained from a fecal sample ...
Multivariate complexity analysis of 3D surface form and function of centric diatoms at the Eocene–Oligocene transition
(2016-01-01)
Complexity is important in the course of evolution, but consensus of what complexity analysis entails is elusive.
In this study, multivariate complexity is measured and analyzed in terms of magnitude of change and the ...
