PORCUPINES, PALEOGEOGRAPHY, AND PARALLELISM

Derivational Parallelism and Ellipsis Parallelism

A central topic in work on ellipsis is the parallelism between missing VPs and their antecedents. There is evidence that parallelism is conditioned both syntactically and semantically. This has resulted in complex hybrid principles that regulate both syntactic structures and their interpretations (e.g., Fox 1995, 2000). We present an alternative, unified account based on parallelism of semantic...

Provenance and Paleogeography of the Late Jurassic Norphlet Formation

Knowledge of reservoir distribution and quality in the offshore eastern Gulf of Mexico (EGOM) is essential for future economic development of hydrocarbon resources. The Norphlet Fm. has been a significant hydrocarbon reservoir in the onshore EGOM region since the late 1960’s; however, due to sparse lithologic data in the offshore EGOM, predicting Norphlet Fm. reservoir distribution in this area...

Encephalitis in two porcupines due to Baylisascaris larval migration.

Encephalitis is associated with the migration of Baylisascaris sp. larvae in a number of animal species, including mice, squirrels, woodchucks, rabbits, foxes, various birds, and humans. The species of Baylisascaris most often incriminated has been B. procyonis from raccoons. In a recent report of Baylisascaris sp. infection in American porcupines (Erethizon dorsatum) with concurrent Toxoplasma...

New perspectives on Beringian Quaternary paleogeography, stratigraphy, and glacial history

Aspects of the paleogeography, stratigraphy, and glacial history of Beringia have been greatly revised over the past 15}20 yr. Access to North East Russia, in particular, has provided the opportunity to evaluate the Beringia landscape as a contiguous subcontinent during the Quaternary. For the "rst time, new research has made clearer the connection between tectonic forces and the submergence of...
