Paleoecology of Llandovery conodonts, Anticosti Island, Que¤bec
Anticosti Island, Que¤bec, has perhaps the most fossiliferous and complete Llandovery (Early Silurian) sequence in the world. The undeformed limestones are well exposed and yield extremely well preserved conodonts whose taxonomy and biostratigraphy has been studied in detail. In addition to documenting the general temporal and spatial distribution of Llandovery conodonts, a set of 107 conodont ...
متن کاملAn example of phenotypic adherence to the island rule? – Anticosti gray jays are heavier but not structurally larger than mainland conspecifics
The island rule refers to the tendency of small vertebrates to become larger when isolated on islands and the frequent dwarfing of large forms. It implies genetic control, and a necessary linkage, of size and body-mass differences between insular and mainland populations. To examine the island rule, we compared body size and mass of gray jays (Perisoreus canadensis) on Anticosti Island, Québec,...
متن کاملTaxonomic Composition, Paleoecology and Biostratigraphy of Late Cretaceous Diatoms from Devon Island, Nunavut, Canadian High Arctic
Diatoms are the most diverse group of algae, playing a major role in global carbon and silicon cycles (Kidder and Erwin, 2001; Armbrust, 2009) and inhabiting virtually any environment that provides moisture and sunlight (Mann, 1999). Thus, they offer important information to help reconstruct paleoen-vironments and clarify stratigraphic relationships. Their strati-graphic range extends down at l...

متن کاملPaleoecology of a '90,000-year lacustrine sequence from Fog Lake, Baffin Island, Arctic Canada
A 137 cm sediment core from Fog Lake, a small upland basin that was not glaciated during the Late Wisconsinan, reveals the following stratigraphic succession: (I) basal diamicton, (II) laminated silts, (III) compacted dewatered gyttja, (IV) stratified minerogenic sediments, and (V) overlying gyttja. Units I—III, and most of unit IV, were deposited prior to the Holocene; unit V represents approx...
