  • Multi-National Conservation of Alligator Lizards
    MULTI-NATIONAL CONSERVATION OF ALLIGATOR LIZARDS: APPLIED SOCIOECOLOGICAL LESSONS FROM A FLAGSHIP GROUP by ADAM G. CLAUSE (Under the Direction of John Maerz) ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is defined by unprecedented human influence on the biosphere. Integrative conservation recognizes this inextricable coupling of human and natural systems, and mobilizes multiple epistemologies to seek equitable, enduring solutions to complex socioecological issues. Although a central motivation of global conservation practice is to protect at-risk species, such organisms may be the subject of competing social perspectives that can impede robust interventions. Furthermore, imperiled species are often chronically understudied, which prevents the immediate application of data-driven quantitative modeling approaches in conservation decision making. Instead, real-world management goals are regularly prioritized on the basis of expert opinion. Here, I explore how an organismal natural history perspective, when grounded in a critique of established human judgements, can help resolve socioecological conflicts and contextualize perceived threats related to threatened species conservation and policy development. To achieve this, I leverage a multi-national system anchored by a diverse, enigmatic, and often endangered New World clade: alligator lizards. Using a threat analysis and status assessment, I show that one recent petition to list a California alligator lizard, Elgaria panamintina, under the US Endangered Species Act often contradicts the best available science.

This small form displays a striking selenolophodont morphology associated with a mixture of primitive “condylar- thran” dental characters and derived tapiromorph features. Skopaiolophus is here tentatively referred to a group of Asian tapiromorphs unknown so far. The occurrence of such a form in Pondaung suggests that primitive tapiromorphs might have persisted in southeast Asia until the late middle Eocene while they became extinct elsewhere in both Eurasia and North America. © 2006 Elsevier SAS.

  • Article XXXVIII. -NOTE on SOME WORM (?) BUR- ROWS in ROCKS of the CHEMUNG GROUP of NEW YORK
    Article XXXVIII. -NOTE ON SOME WORM (?) BUR- ROWS IN ROCKS OF THE CHEMUNG GROUP OF NEW YORK. By R. P. WHITFIELD. Arenicolites chemungensis, sp. nov. PLATE XIV, FIGS. I AND 2. While working up the fossils of the Potsdam sandstone for the Wisconsin Report, in I876 and I877, there came into my hands a number of specimens representing the so-called Scolithus, which I described as Arenicolites woodi in Volume IV of Prof. T. C. Chamberlain's Report of I882. One block of that series showed the original surface of the mud-covered sandstone with the burrows of the worm (?) which made the perforations, together with the little hillocks surrounding the outlet of the burrows, just as the animal built them up by its castings during life; proving pretty conclusively that it must have been a marine worm-like animal which caused the perforations. Among the geological specimens of the Chemung Group in the Museum, from near Bath, Steuben Co., New York, I find an example so nearly resembling that figured in the Wis- consin Report above referred to, that there can be no ques- tion as to the similarity of its origin. On this Chemung specimen the hillocks are somewhat larger and the funnels more distinct, being generally 5 or 6 mm. in diameter, and the walls surrounding them about 2 mm. thick, while some of the hillocks are much larger and higher and appear to have collapsed from the semifluidity of the sand, closing up the top of the burrow so as to show a mere slit in its place.

These data enable precise biostratigraphy within an astronomical time scale of Milankovitch obliquity cycles and also provide mean annual precipitation and vegetation for each species.

  • Synoptic Taxonomy of Major Fossil Groups
    APPENDIX Synoptic Taxonomy of Major Fossil Groups Important fossil taxa are listed down to the lowest practical taxonomic level; in most cases, this will be the ordinal or subordinallevel. Abbreviated stratigraphic units in parentheses (e.g., UCamb-Ree) indicate maximum range known for the group; units followed by question marks are isolated occurrences followed generally by an interval with no known representatives. Taxa with ranges to "Ree" are extant. Data are extracted principally from Harland et al. (1967), Moore et al. (1956 et seq.), Sepkoski (1982), Romer (1966), Colbert (1980), Moy-Thomas and Miles (1971), Taylor (1981), and Brasier (1980). KINGDOM MONERA Class Ciliata (cont.)
