Ranging bowhead whale calls in a shallow-water dispersive waveguide.
This paper presents the performance of three methods for estimating the range of broadband (50-500 Hz) bowhead whale calls in a nominally 55-m-deep waveguide: Conventional mode filtering (CMF), synthetic time reversal (STR), and triangulation. The first two methods use a linear vertical array to exploit dispersive propagation effects in the underwater sound channel. The triangulation technique ...
متن کاملMolluscs from a shallow-water whale-fall in the North Atlantic
We conducted a species-level study of molluscs associated with a 5 m long 17 carcass of a minke whale at a depth of 125 m in the Kosterfjord (North Sea, Sweden). The 18 whale fall community was quantitatively compared with the community commonly living in 19 the surrounding soft-bottom sediments. Five years after the deployment of the dead whale at 20 the sea floor, the sediments around the wha...
متن کاملEstimating diversification rates from the fossil record
Diversification rates are estimated from phylogenies, typically without fossils, except in paleontological studies. By nature, rate estimations depend heavily on the time data provided in phylogenies, which are divergence times and (when used) fossil ages. Among these temporal data, fossil ages are by far the most precisely known (divergence times are inferences calibrated with fossils). We pro...
متن کاملWater from the rock: Ancient aquatic angiosperms flow from the fossil record.
The world of 120 million years ago was one of dynamic biological processes. During that time the flowering plants emerged as the dominant global floristic element, a transformative event that ultimately altered the character of the entire planet. Understandably, the rapid rise of angiosperms has intrigued paleoecologists and evolutionary biologists, who have strived to elucidate underlying expl...
متن کاملFossil embryos deep in the fossil record
Embryos have been found in ‘old’ rocks on four continents, especially in Siberia, Nevada, Australia and China. They have been discovered in sedimentary rocks of even Late Neoproterozoic age, assuming the evolutionary geological column1 (figure 1). The Neoproterozoic is the period, so called, between 1 billion and 550 million years ago. This discovery was in the Doushantuo Formation, Guizhou Pro...
