    Mother tongue: a forbidden experiment! by Atila THE FUTURE IS NOW, A JOURNEY TO CLIMATE CHANGE by Nicolas Tagnati L’edito’ Tic-tac-tic-tac!. Long time no see! What did you do during all this time? Did you enjoyed every single day of restaurants and bars opening? It has been a strange and busy period for us. We tried to renew ourselves and this is not an easy task to do. We also did some workshops'clay, pizza, natural cosmetics), we shot some videos, visited some places in the mountains or at the sea, we went to many art exhibitions, did some renovations and spent some party time in the bars! It takes time to be alive! I also realized that it takes a lot of time to do Nothing. I dont' mean to not do anything but to actively do Nothing. The difference is subtle. I decided to take the time to lose it. Being contemplative to struggle against the dictature of time is a luxury. Doing nothing is an art that require a preparation. When you want to achieve a task you usually know how to rich your goals. But what if the objective is NOTHING? This is paradoxical but I lately felt like I’m wasting time doing too many things. So, I thought if I do nothing, I might not feel that the time is wasted. And you know what? It worked! The lockdown is a golden occasion to change our relation to time. So, get rid of your watch, look around you, appreciate the sun, look at the flowers, observe the birds and relax.

They are Michelinia flugeli sp. nov., late Bashkirian, Michelinia sp. indet., late Bashkirian, Donetzites mariae Flügel, 1975, late Serpukhovian, Syringopora iranica sp. nov., late Serpukhovian, and Multithe- copora sp. cf.

The Sardar tabulate coral fauna occurs from limestones that formed in Peri-Gondwana at the low lati- tudes of the southern hemisphere and faced the Paleo-Tethys Ocean. Except for a cosmopolitan species, closely related to comparable species with the fauna are reported from the Akiyoshi seamount chain, the South China Continent, and the Australian eastern Gondwana.

    GEOLOGICA BELGICA (2016) 19/1-2: 43-56 Settlement strategy in Symplectophyllum (Cnidaria, Rugosa) JOHN W. PICKETT Honorary Research Associate, Geological Survey of New South Wales, W.B. Clarke Geoscience Centre, 947-953 Londonderry Road, Londonderry NSW 2573, Australia; [email protected]. ABSTRACT. The early ontogeny of the solitary rugose coral Symplectophyllum from the late Tournaisian – early Viséan of New South Wales is described. The genus is frequently associated with the phaceloid tabulate coral Syringopora, individuals of the former genus occurring within the coralla of the latter, and growing in tandem. A similar association also occurs between Symplectophyllum and the rugosan genera Cionodendron and Pickettodendron, though less commonly. The phaceloid genera suffer periodic mortality events, causing breaks in vertical growth; the settlement of Symplectophyllum larvae appears to be associated with these events. Larvae settle on algal incrustations of the epitheca of the phaceloid corals, not on the epitheca itself. The manner in which Symplectophyllum corallites acquired space for growth suggests the presence of sweeper tentacles in Rugosa. KEYWORDS: Ontogeny, settlement strategy, Carboniferous, Syringopora, Symplectophyllum, mortality crisis, ecology, sweeper tentacles 1.

  • Chapter 5. Paleozoic Invertebrate Paleontology of Grand Canyon National Park
    Chapter 5. Paleozoic Invertebrate Paleontology of Grand Canyon National Park By Linda Sue Lassiter1, Justin S. Tweet2, Frederick A. Sundberg3, John R. Foster4, and P. J. Bergman5 1Northern Arizona University Department of Biological Sciences Flagstaff, Arizona 2National Park Service 9149 79th Street S. Cottage Grove, Minnesota 55016 3Museum of Northern Arizona Research Associate Flagstaff, Arizona 4Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum Vernal, Utah 5Northern Arizona University Flagstaff, Arizona Introduction As impressive as the Grand Canyon is to any observer from the rim, the river, or even from space, these cliffs and slopes are much more than an array of colors above the serpentine majesty of the Colorado River. The erosive forces of the Colorado River and feeder streams took millions of years to carve more than 290 million years of Paleozoic Era rocks. These exposures of Paleozoic Era sediments constitute 85% of the almost 5,000 km2 (1,903 mi2) of the Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA) and reveal important chronologic information on marine paleoecologies of the past. This expanse of both spatial and temporal coverage is unrivaled anywhere else on our planet. While many visitors stand on the rim and peer down into the abyss of the carved canyon depths, few realize that they are also staring at the history of life from almost 520 million years ago (Ma) where the Paleozoic rocks cover the great unconformity (Karlstrom et al. 2018) to 270 Ma at the top (Sorauf and Billingsley 1991). The Paleozoic rocks visible from the South Rim Visitors Center, are mostly from marine and some fluvial sediment deposits (Figure 5-1).

  • Paleocommunity Response to Extinction: An
    PALEOCOMMUNITY RESPONSE TO EXTINCTION: AN EXAMPLE FROM THE LATE ORDOVICIAN (MOHAWKIAN) OF THE APPALACHIAN BASIN OF THE EASTERN UNITED STATES by KAREN M. LAYOU (Under the Direction of Steven M. Holland) ABSTRACT A regional extinction occurred among marine macroinvertebrate taxa during the Late Ordovician in eastern North America. Previously unexamined changes to the diversity structure of paleocommunities across the extinction boundary were quantitatively addressed through the development of null models of changes in diversity and evenness metrics as functions of percent extinction. The model results were compared to analyses of field censused paleocommunities from shallow and deep subtidal facies within three regions of the Appalachian Basin, including the Jessamine Dome of central Kentucky, the Nashville Dome of central Tennessee, and the Valley and Ridge of western Virginia. The null models show that variations in the evenness metric, Pielou’s J, and variations in the relationship between alpha diversity and the highest level of beta diversity within a sampling hierarchy, are unique to different conditions of extinction selectivity with respect to taxon abundance. Field data from the entire basin suggest this extinction targeted rare taxa, however, at some local scales, abundant taxa appear to be more affected. The field data also highlight a number of geographic and environmental variations in paleocommunity response to this extinction. Deep subtidal communities in Virginia were most significantly affected during this event. In general, across the extinction boundary, the diversity and evenness metrics decline, the taxonomic composition of paleocommunities shifts, and relative abundances of taxa within ecological guilds varies. Despite these factors, the extinction led to minimal changes in the relative abundance distribution of taxa within paleocommunities, given the small magnitude of change in diversity and evenness metrics.
