Others suppose that it still inhabits Tristan. There is no consensus about Gallinula comeri, the name introduced for the flightless moorhen from the nearby island of Gough. On the basis of DNA sequencing of both recently collec...
متن کاملMedical practice on Tristan da Cunha--the remotest island community in the world.

متن کاملThe Geomagnetic Observatory on Tristan da Cunha: Setup, Operation and Experiences

As part of the Danish project SAADAN we set up a geomagnetic observatory on the island. Here we report on how we established the observatory in 2009 and on its operation in 2010.

Using computer simulation techniques the latter model is shown to be preferred and is then closely matched...
