Postburn Insect Fauna in Southern California Chaparral1
Professor of Biological Sciences, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, California 91768. Abstract: Extremely little is known about succession of insects in postfire chaparral. This 4-year postfire study in the San Gabriel Mountains of southern California showed that pollen-nectar feeders and predatory insects can be very abundant beginning the first spring after a burn. Annual plant...
متن کاملLATERAL VELOCITY VARIATIONS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. I. RESULTS FOR THE UPPER CRUST FROM Pg WAVES
The plate boundary and major crustal blocks in southern California are imaged by a tomographic backprojection of the Pg first arrivals recorded by the Southern California Array. The method, formulated specifically for local earthquake arrival times, is a fast, iterative alternative to direct least-squares techniques. With it, we solve the combined problem of determining refractor velocity pertu...
متن کاملMammals from the Blue Ash Local Fauna (late Oligocene), South Dakota. Rodentia, Part 4: Family Aplodontidae
Ten species of aplodontid rodents are present in the Blue Ash local fauna, which currently represents the most diverse family of rodents in the assemblage. One new genus, Disallomys, is described with Allomys storeri Tedrow and Korth as the type species. Four new species are described, Disallomys robustus, D. intermedius, Prosciurus clausulus, and Niglarodon brachyodon. The aplodontids from the...
متن کاملThe Earliest Colubroid-Dominated Snake Fauna from Africa: Perspectives from the Late Oligocene Nsungwe Formation of Southwestern Tanzania
The extant snake fauna has its roots in faunal upheaval occurring across the Paleogene-Neogene transition. On northern continents, this turnover is well established by the late early Miocene. However, this transition is poorly documented on southern landmasses, particularly on continental Africa, where no late Paleogene terrestrial snake assemblages are documented south of the equator. Here we ...
متن کاملSealers Bay submarine fan complex, Oligocene, southern New Zealand
The Oligocene Balleny Group of Chalky Island, southwestern Fiordland, comprises a typical continental margin sequence 900 m in thickness. Thin nearshore traction deposited sediments at the base are overlain by submarine canyon and fan lithofacies that were deposited by the full range of subaqueous mass-transport processes. A steep-walled channel within Balleny Group is interpreted as a fossil p...
