The gobiid genus Trimma currently contains 75 valid species, with another 20-30 known but undescribed species. There are 29 species in Australian waters (six undescribed). This paper describes the six new species, and provides redescriptions of most of the 23 previously described species known from the region, as well as a key for all the species. The six new species are: T. insularum (endemic ...

We study the spontaneous formation of quantum dots in the form of three-dimensional (3D) islands on facetted surfaces in heteroepitaxy. Island development from fast kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations at low deposition rates is found to follow a layer-by-layer nucleation pathway characterized by energetics driven continuous lateral expansion interrupted by a sequence of independent two-dimens...

Groundwater from a shallow freshwater lens on St. George Island, a barrier island located in the Panhandle of Florida, eventually discharges into Apalachicola Bay or the Gulf of Mexico. Nutrient concentrations in groundwaters were monitored downfield from three onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems (OSTDS) on the island. Estimates of natural groundwater nutrient concentrations were obtai...

IN THE COURSE of war service in the Solomon Islands the writer was stationed on Stirling Island in the Treasuries from December 10, 1943, ro January 13, 1944. A collection of land snails was made and subsequently this was supplemented by a collection made on Mono Island at about the same time by Me. N. Gardner. Smith (1885) recorded a number of species collected by _Guppy from the group, but si...

1 widespread island endemic, the San Clemente Island night lizard. ABSTRACT 17 Habitat fragmentation and loss are fundamental conservation concerns. Because protected 18 areas are often " habitat islands " isolated by human development, studies of physical islands 19 which document genetic patterns associated with natural versus anthropogenic fragmentation may 20 provide insight into the manage...
