Database Architecture Evolution: Mammals Flourished long before Dinosaurs became Extinct
The holy grail for database architecture research is to find a solution that is Scalable & Speedy, to run on anything from small ARM processors up to globally distributed compute clusters, Stable & Secure, to service a broad user community, Small & Simple, to be comprehensible to a small team of programmers, Self-managing, to let it run out-of-the-box without hassle. In this paper, we provide a...
متن کاملFeathered dinosaurs, flying dinosaurs, crown dinosaurs, and the name “Aves”
The taxon name “Aves” is currently used for several different clades, a situation that violates the fundamental nomenclatural principle that, to minimize ambiguity, each taxon name should refer to a single taxon. To clarify this situation, we explore some general issues concerning the properties of the three classes of phylogenetic definitions, including: how names can be tied to clades through...
متن کاملConfusing dinosaurs with mammals: tetrapod phylogenetics and anatomical terminology in the world of homology.
At present, three different systems of anatomical nomenclature are available to researchers describing new tetrapod taxa: a nonstandardized traditional system erected in part by Sir Richard Owen and subsequently elaborated by Alfred Romer; a standardized system created for avians, the Nomina Anatomica Avium (NAA); and a standardized system for extant (crown-group) mammals, the Nomina Anatomica ...
متن کاملReconstructing/Deconstructing the Earliest Eukaryotes How Comparative Genomics Can Help
We could reconstruct the evolution of eukaryote-specific molecular and cellular machinery if some living eukaryotes retained primitive cellular structures and we knew which eukaryotes these were. It's not clear that either is the case, but the expanding protist genomic database could help us in several ways.
متن کاملEvolution: How Some Birds Survived When All Other Dinosaurs Died
The end-Cretaceous mass extinction wiped out the dinosaurs, including many birds. But some bird lineages survived. May seed-eating have been the key?
