Feathered 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...

How have anoles evolved such diverse morphologies? This is an exciting time in anole biology because recently the genome of the green anole, Anolis carolinensis, was completely sequenced (http://www.broad.mit. edu/models/anole/). The completion of an anole genome opened a new avenue of research into the genetic changes that accompany adaptive radiation. Researchers would like to know how many, ...
متن کاملPlate motions, Gondwana dinosaurs, Noah's arks, beached Viking funeral ships, ghost ships, and landspans.
Gondwana landmasses have served as large-scale biogeographic Noah's Arks and Beached Viking Funeral Ships, as defined by McKenna. The latitudinal trajectories of selected Gondwana dinosaur localities were traced through time in order to evaluate their movement through climate zones relative to those in which they originally formed. The dispersal of fauna during the breakup of Gondwana may have ...

Introduction We have all heard the old joke of school being all about the three “R’s”, Reading ‘Ritin and ‘Rithmatik, but because of increasing class sizes and reported lack of instruction time, writing has been passed over for the more “important” subjects. The advent of computers and the increasing ease of word processing have given teachers the ultimate excuse, but most beginning composition...
متن کاملCombining Astrometry and Spectroscopy
Orbital solutions for binary or multiple stellar systems that combine astrometry (e.g., position angles and angular separations) with spectroscopy (radial velocities) have important advantages over astrometric-only or spectroscopic-only solutions. In many cases they allow the determination of the absolute masses of the components, as well as the distance. Yet, these kinds of combined solutions ...
