Meiolaniid or horned turtles are members of the extinct Pleistocene megafauna of Australia and the southwest Pacific. The timing and causes of their extinction have remained elusive. Here we report the remains of meiolaniid turtles from cemetery and midden layers dating 3,100/3,000 calibrated years before present to approximately 2,900/2,800 calibrated years before present in the Teouma Lapita ...
متن کاملNegative range size–abundance relationships in Indo-Pacific bird communities
tropical areas and those in temperate zones. Hypotheses to explain positive range size–abundance relationships have focused on the ability of generalist species to appropriate resources, which allows them to simultaneously expand their ranges and dominate local communities (Brown 1984). The combination of geographic isolation with the high environmental stability of the tropics, however, may cr...

متن کاملVila , Vanuatu South Pacific Albacore Tagging
ii Executive Summary The first albacore tagging cruise for the EU-funded SCIFISH project was completed in early 2009. The main objective of the cruise was to tag albacore with conventional tags in an effort to obtain information on exploitation rates and movement.

متن کاملBreeding Bird Communities Across an Upland Disturbance Gradient in the Western Lake Superior Region
Upland breeding bird communities were sampled from 225 points in 15 survey routes in the coastal region of western Lake Superior to examine relationships to human land use. Eighty-four species were detected and 50 were abundant enough to be included in data analysis. Monotonic quadratic regression models were constructed for these 50 species by using species counts as the dependent variable and...
