Records 3Rd Release From: Smith, David To: Parkin, Mary Cc: Zelenak, Jim; Cummings, Jonathan; Heather Bell; Jennifer Szymanski Subject: Re: draft guidance on organizing an EE workshop for SSA Date: Wednesday, July 22, 2015 1:22:14 PM Yes, that works for me. There is a piece that I would like to add to these draft guidelines in the long run, but not before distributing to the Core team. I would like to add a template for a post-workshop report with some technical guidelines on summarizing expert judgment. Again, not for right now cause I don't have the time immediately, but as a placeholder for the future. Cheers, Dave David R.

The only one that I question is at the bottom of page 1 where you strike mention of 'experts and observers'.

This will be extremely helpful for us. Dave, your pain (with the GSG) is our gain. I've made some edits and comments; see attached. Generally, I'd suggest: (1) providing the overall document, with its templates, to the lynx core team and FWS managers; (2) customizing the selection criteria and ground rules for the lynx and sending these to the states and other partners (and core team, of course); and (3) when experts are selected, sending them the meeting agenda and ground rules and asking them to confirm their willingness to participate given these sideboards. I know we need to get this out to the core team and states ASAP, preferably before the calls next week. I'm sorry to have been late to the table, but if you could take a look at my comments, Dave and Jim, and accept as you see fit, we could get it out to the core team this week. Then it shouldn't take much to make sure the selection criteria and ground rules are specific to the lynx and provide to the core team and state folks for next week's calls.

We have incorporated, where possible, original observations of numerous taxa spread throughout the major tetrapod clades. A stem-based (total-group) definition of Tetrapoda is preferred over apomorphy- and node-based (crown-group) definitions. This definition is operational, since it is based on a formal character analysis. A PAUP* search using a recently implemented version of the parsimony ratchet method yields 64 shortest trees. Differ- ences between these trees concern: (1) the internal relationships of aı¨stopods, the three selected species of which form a trichotomy; (2) the internal relationships of embolomeres, with Archeria

  • The Devonian Tetrapod Acanthostega Gunnari Jarvik: Postcranial Anatomy, Basal Tetrapod Interrelationships and Patterns of Skeletal Evolution M
    Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh: Earth Sciences, 87, 363-421, 1996 The Devonian tetrapod Acanthostega gunnari Jarvik: postcranial anatomy, basal tetrapod interrelationships and patterns of skeletal evolution M. I. Coates ABSTRACT: The postcranial skeleton of Acanthostega gunnari from the Famennian of East Greenland displays a unique, transitional, mixture of features conventionally associated with fish- and tetrapod-like morphologies. The rhachitomous vertebral column has a primitive, barely differentiated atlas-axis complex, encloses an unconstricted notochordal canal, and the weakly ossified neural arches have poorly developed zygapophyses. More derived axial skeletal features include caudal vertebral proliferation and, transiently, neural radials supporting unbranched and unsegmented lepidotrichia. Sacral and post-sacral ribs reiterate uncinate cervical and anterior thoracic rib morphologies: a simple distal flange supplies a broad surface for iliac attachment. The octodactylous forelimb and hindlimb each articulate with an unsutured, foraminate endoskeletal girdle. A broad-bladed femoral shaft with extreme anterior torsion and associated flattened epipodials indicates a paddle-like hindlimb function. Phylogenetic analysis places Acanthostega as the sister- group of Ichthyostega plus all more advanced tetrapods. Tulerpeton appears to be a basal stem- amniote plesion, tying the amphibian-amniote split to the uppermost Devonian. Caerorhachis may represent a more derived stem-amniote plesion. Postcranial evolutionary trends spanning the taxa traditionally associated with the fish-tetrapod transition are discussed in detail. Comparison between axial skeletons of primitive tetrapods suggests that plesiomorphic fish-like morphologies were re-patterned in a cranio-caudal direction with the emergence of tetrapod vertebral regionalisation. The evolution of digited limbs lags behind the initial enlargement of endoskeletal girdles, whereas digit evolution precedes the elaboration of complex carpal and tarsal articulations.

Dismissed by the authorities, Yolanda has no way to pursue this end, until her former captor returns her journal of the experiment in order for her to "write her story." Yolanda, however, chooses to locate her fellow ex-captives for help in her quest, which seems increasingly impossible because they prove unable if not unwilling to provide her with assistance. Yolanda's desperation grows when she discovers not only that the experiment's mastermind is a rogue CIA agent but that his experiment with Yolanda was merely a trial run for an experiment involving the country's top political and business leaders. We will know that Yolanda has succeeded when she finally meets the CIA man again, understands him, and even tries to protect him from the authorities, just before his corrupt superior has him shot to death. lV FADE JN: MOUNTAINS.

  • Bones, Molecules, and Crown- Tetrapod Origins
    TTEC11 05/06/2003 11:47 AM Page 224 Chapter 11 Bones, molecules, and crown- tetrapod origins Marcello Ruta and Michael I. Coates ABSTRACT The timing of major events in the evolutionary history of early tetrapods is discussed in the light of a new cladistic analysis. The phylogenetic implications of this are com- pared with those of the most widely discussed, recent hypotheses of basal tetrapod interrelationships. Regardless of the sequence of cladogenetic events and positions of various Early Carboniferous taxa, these fossil-based analyses imply that the tetrapod crown-group had originated by the mid- to late Viséan. However, such estimates of the lissamphibian–amniote divergence fall short of the date implied by molecular studies. Uneven rates of molecular substitutions might be held responsible for the mismatch between molecular and morphological approaches, but the patchy quality of the fossil record also plays an important role. Morphology-based estimates of evolutionary chronology are highly sensitive to new fossil discoveries, the interpreta- tion and dating of such material, and the impact on tree topologies. Furthermore, the earliest and most primitive taxa are almost always known from very few fossil localities, with the result that these are likely to exert a disproportionate influence. Fossils and molecules should be treated as complementary approaches, rather than as conflicting and irreconcilable methods. Introduction Modern tetrapods have a long evolutionary history dating back to the Late Devonian. Their origins are rooted into a diverse, paraphyletic assemblage of lobe-finned bony fishes known as the ‘osteolepiforms’ (Cloutier and Ahlberg 1996; Janvier 1996; Ahlberg and Johanson 1998; Jeffery 2001; Johanson and Ahlberg 2001; Zhu and Schultze 2001).

A new discosauriscid seymouriamorph tetrapod from the Lower Permian of Moravia, Czech Repub− lic. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 50 (1): 25–48. A new genus and species, Makowskia laticephala gen. et sp. nov., of seymouriamorph tetrapod from the Lower Permian deposits of the Boskovice Furrow in Moravia (Czech Republic) is described in detail, and its cranial reconstruction is pre− sented. It is placed in the family Discosauriscidae (together with Discosauriscus and Ariekanerpeton) on the following character states: short preorbital region; rounded to oval orbits positioned mainly in anterior half of skull; otic notch dorsoventrally broad and anteroposteriorly deep; rounded to oval ventral scales. Makowskia is distinguished from other Discosauriscidae by the following characters: nasal bones equally long as broad; interorbital region broad; prefrontal− postfrontal contact lies in level of frontal mid−length (only from D. pulcherrimus); maxilla deepest at its mid−length; sub− orbital ramus of jugal short and dorsoventrally broad with long anterodorsal−posteroventral directed lacrimal−jugal su− ture; postorbital anteroposteriorly short and lacks elongated posterior process; ventral surface of basioccipital smooth; rows of small denticles placed on distinct ridges and intervening furrows radiate from place immediately laterally to artic− ular portion on ventral surface of palatal ramus of pterygoid (only from D. pulcherrimus);

  • Modes of Ventilation in Early Tetrapods: Costal Aspiration As a Key Feature of Amniotes
    Modes of ventilation in early tetrapods: Costal aspiration as a key feature of amniotes CHRISTINE M. JANIS and JULIA C. KELLER Janis, C.M. & Keller, J.C. 2001. Modes of ventilation in early tetrapods: Costal aspira- tion as a key feature of amniotes. -Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 46, 2, 137-170. The key difference between amniotes (reptiles, birds and mammals) and anamniotes (amphibians in the broadest sense of the word) is usually considered to be the amniotic egg, or a skin impermeable to water. We propose that the change in the mode of lung ven- tilation from buccal pumping to costal (rib-based) ventilation was equally, if not more important, in the evolution of tetrapod independence from the water. Costal ventilation would enable superior loss of carbon dioxide via the lungs: only then could cutaneous respiration be abandoned and the skin made impermeable to water. Additionally efficient carbon dioxide loss might be essential for the greater level of activity of amniotes. We ex- amine aspects of the morphology of the heads, necks and ribs that correlate with the mode of ventilation. Anamniotes, living and fossil, have relatively broad heads and short necks, correlating with buccal pumping, and have immobile ribs. In contrast, amniotes have narrower, deeper heads, may have longer necks, and have mobile ribs, in correlation with costal ventilation. The stem amniote Diadectes is more like true amniotes in most respects, and we propose that the changes in the mode of ventilation occurred in a step- wise fashion among the stem amniotes. We also argue that the change in ventilatory mode in amniotes related to changes in the postural role of the epaxial muscles, and can be correlated with the evolution of herbivory.

Beginning in 1956, Baird conducted fieldwork in the Carboniferous and Triassic-Jurassic of Nova Scotia, making a total of 21 trips in 30 years. His many scientific contributions include the discoveries of important assemblages of Carboniferous vertebrates as well as an unexpectedly diverse record of early Mesozoic tetrapods and their trackways in the province. Baird also encouraged and supported fieldwork by other vertebrate paleontologists as well as amateurs in Nova Scotia and elsewhere. His career-long commitment to the vertebrate paleontology of the province was instrumental in establishing it as an important source of fossils of Carboniferous and early Mesozoic continental vertebrates. RÉSUMÉ Donald Baird (1926–2011), paléontologiste des vertébrés influent et novateur dont la carrière scientifique s’est échelonnée sur près de 50 ans, a acquis un savoir-faire exceptionnel dans l’étude des vertébrés du Paléozoïque tardif et du Mésozoïque et des vestiges de leur vie.
