The origin of new species on oceanic islands has been discussed on many occasions (Carlquist, 1974; Grant, 1996). The most commonly described process is speciation associated with adaptive radiation (Stuessy & Ono, 1998; Schluter, 2000), in which from a single introduction several lines of speciation occur, each driven by selection within markedly different ecological zones. Morphological diver...

“Plant Resources in the Palaeolithic” is a research project focused on the technologies for plant food processing as documented by use-wear traces and plant residue on grinding tools found in European sites. Many researchers have been involved in the project, which encompasses the fields of archaeology, botany and food processing technologies, within the context of the history of European Prehi...

Today we consider forensic odontology to be a specialised and reliable method of identification of the deceased, particularly in multiple fatality incidents. While this reputation has been gained from the application of forensic odontology in both single identification and disaster situations over a number of years, the professional nature of the discipline and its practices have evolved only r...

such marked divergence from the restricted method of fruit and seed production peculiar to other varieties of this species and to all other species of tobacco as far as known. The experiments reported upon above have, in part, been made possible by an allotment from that portion of the Adams Fund of the United States Department of Agriculture granted to the Agricultural Experiment Station of th...
