A Consideration of Pollen, Diatoms and Other Remains in Postglacial Sediments
The significance of pollen and diatoms in post-glacial sediments from a shallow bay of Lake Okoboji, Iowa, is considered. The presence of other microfossils is noted with emphasis on those of Cretaceous origin: foraminifera, coccoliths, radiolari;ms, and hystrichosphaerids. Problems encountered and discussed include recognition of Chrysophyte statospores, redeposition, interpretation of data fr...
متن کاملOn the Occurrence of Cladoceran Remains in Lake Sediments.
Exoskeletal fragments of Cladocera occur abundantly in late-glacial and postglacial lake sediments. Of the various families of the Cladocera the Bosminidae and Chydoridae are represented by the greatest diversity of remains. The morphological differentiation of the chydorids is sufficiently great that species can be identified positively in most instances from the isolated components of the exo...
متن کاملEnvironmental Predictors of Diversity in Recent Planktonic Foraminifera as Recorded in Marine Sediments
Global diversity patterns are thought to result from a combination of environmental and historical factors. This study tests the set of ecological and evolutionary hypotheses proposed to explain the global variation in present-day coretop diversity in the macroperforate planktonic foraminifera, a clade with an exceptional fossil record. Within this group, marine surface sediment assemblages are...
متن کاملRecent environmental change and atmospheric contamination on Svalbard as recorded in lake sediments – an introduction*
This paper outlines an interdisciplinary project on recent environmental change and atmospheric contamination on the high Arctic archipelago of Svalbard (76o30'N – 80o30'N). It describes the rationale and aims of the project and summarises the location, climate, geology, vegetation, and land-use of Svalbard. Introduction The Arctic constitutes a unique and important environment with a significa...
متن کاملActivity from skin mechanoreceptors recorded percutaneously in awake human subjects.
A technique is described which allows recording of multi-fiber discharge and single-unit activity from intact peripheral nerves of awake human subjects. A tungsten electrode with a tip diameter of 5-15 p was driven manually through skin, subcutaneous tissues and nerve sheath. From many recording sites in mixed nerve trunks neural impulses with an amplitude of 40 .uv were recorded in response to...
