Segev, A., Sass, E., Ron, H., Lang, B., Kolodny, Y., McWilliams, M. 2002. Stratigraphic, geochronologic, and paleomagnetic constraints on Late Cretaceous volcanism in northern Israel. Isr. J. Earth Sci. 51: 297–309. Late Cretaceous volcanism in northern Israel is represented by basaltic pyroclastics and lavas at two adjacent localities at Mount Carmel and the Umm el Fahm area. Four Cenomanian a...

Assemblages of agglutinated foraminifers ranging from the Aptian to the lower Eocene were studied in the Bile Karpaty unit. One hundred ninety species (43 of them undetermined) were studied taxonomically. The *species Glomospira s traniki and ~ u r r i t e l l e l l a reversa are 'new. Several species of the abyssal "Krashenimikov" fauna (Buzasina inflata, Haplophragmoides decussatus, H . perex...

Sympatric speciation (SS), i.e., speciation within a freely breeding population or in contiguous populations, was first proposed by Darwin [Darwin C (1859) On the Origins of Species by Means of Natural Selection] and is still controversial despite theoretical support [Gavrilets S (2004) Fitness Landscapes and the Origin of Species (MPB-41)] and mounting empirical evidence. Speciation of subterr...

Field investigation, biostratigraphic, paleoecological, and sedimentary microfacies analyses, as well diagenetic processes characterization, were carried out in the Epirus region (Western Ionian Basin) to define depositional environments further decipher history of Late Cretaceous–Early Paleocene carbonate succession western continental Greece. Planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy studied c...
