Diet shift and site-fidelity of oceanic whitetip sharks Carcharhinus longimanus along the Great Bahama Bank
Identifying the driving forces behind oceanic pelagic shark movements is key to a better understanding of their life history. Some oceanic pelagic shark species have been shown to aggregate in specific regions to mate and/or exploit abundant food resources. The oceanic whitetip shark Carcharhinus longimanus, a subtropical, ectothermic, oceanic pelagic shark that has experienced severe populatio...
متن کاملTsunamis caused by submarine slope failures along western Great Bahama Bank
Submarine slope failures are a likely cause for tsunami generation along the East Coast of the United States. Among potential source areas for such tsunamis are submarine landslides and margin collapses of Bahamian platforms. Numerical models of past events, which have been identified using high-resolution multibeam bathymetric data, reveal possible tsunami impact on Bimini, the Florida Keys, a...
متن کاملThe Origin of Dolomites in Tertiary Sediments from the Margin of Great Bahama Bank
Based on an integrated geochemical characterized by extremely high Sr and petrographic investigation of dolomites concentrations, which reflect high from two cores drilled on Great Bahama concentrations of Sr in the pore fluids. Bank, we have determined three different The high concentrations of Sr in the pore mechanisms of formation for the dolomites fluids arise through the continued which ar...
متن کاملGlacial-to-Holocene sedimentation on the western slope of Great Bahama Bank
Thick, late Quaternary sediment sections were recovered at several sites on the leeward slope of Great Bahama Bank during Leg 166 of the Ocean Drilling Program. These sections have paleoceanographic records with potentially high temporal resolution. To make an initial assessment of the records corresponding to the Holocene highstand of sea level, we have identified and dated the sediments from ...
متن کاملMiddle Miocene reorganization of deformation along the northeastern Tibetan
Temporal variations in the orientation of Cenozoic range growth in northeastern Tibet defi ne two modes by which India-Asia convergence was accommodated. Thermochronological age-elevation transects from the hanging walls of two major thrust-fault systems reveal diachronous Miocene exhumation of the Laji-Jishi Shan in northeastern Tibet. Whereas accelerated growth of the WNW-trending eastern Laj...
