    ZOOLOGY Exploring the Biodiversity of Colorado and Theworld

    CHAPTER 4 — ZOOLOGY Exploring the Biodiversity of Colorado and the World CHAPTER 4 ZOOLOGY Exploring the Biodiversity of Colorado and the World Jeffrey T. Stephenson, Before the Museum Paula E. Cushing, The first collections of specimens that make up what is now the Denver John R. Demboski, and Museum of Nature & Science were actually established well before the Frank-T. Krell founding of the institution in 1900, the selection of a board of trustees, or the construction of a building to house and exhibit the specimens. Edwin Carter (1830–1900) (Fig. 4.1) collected Colorado birds and mammals from the 1860s through the 1890s. Born in New York in 1830, Carter arrived in Colorado in 1859 hoping to make it rich in the goldfields, but he soon became interested in the region’s natural history. He learned hide tanning and, as his prospects for hitting the mother lode faded, he earned his living selling buckskin clothing that he handcrafted. Carter supplemented these earnings by mar- keting foodstuffs and other provisions to the growing population of successful and (mostly) unsuccessful prospectors flooding the region. His interest in nature turned to concern as he observed dwindling numbers of mammals and birds, owing largely to habitat destruction and overhunting. Period photographs of the area’s mining district show a landscape largely denuded of vegetation. By the 1870s, Carter noted that many animal species were becoming scarce. The state’s forests were being devastated, ranches and farms were replacing open prairie, and some species, including the last native bison in Colorado, were on the verge of extirpation or extinction.

    8. Primate Evolution

    8. Primate Evolution Jonathan M. G. Perry, Ph.D., The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Stephanie L. Canington, B.A., The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Learning Objectives • Understand the major trends in primate evolution from the origin of primates to the origin of our own species • Learn about primate adaptations and how they characterize major primate groups • Discuss the kinds of evidence that anthropologists use to find out how extinct primates are related to each other and to living primates • Recognize how the changing geography and climate of Earth have influenced where and when primates have thrived or gone extinct The first fifty million years of primate evolution was a series of adaptive radiations leading to the diversification of the earliest lemurs, monkeys, and apes. The primate story begins in the canopy and understory of conifer-dominated forests, with our small, furtive ancestors subsisting at night, beneath the notice of day-active dinosaurs. From the archaic plesiadapiforms (archaic primates) to the earliest groups of true primates (euprimates), the origin of our own order is characterized by the struggle for new food sources and microhabitats in the arboreal setting. Climate change forced major extinctions as the northern continents became increasingly dry, cold, and seasonal and as tropical rainforests gave way to deciduous forests, woodlands, and eventually grasslands. Lemurs, lorises, and tarsiers—once diverse groups containing many species—became rare, except for lemurs in Madagascar where there were no anthropoid competitors and perhaps few predators. Meanwhile, anthropoids (monkeys and apes) emerged in the Old World, then dispersed across parts of the northern hemisphere, Africa, and ultimately South America.

An Ypresian (early Cuisian) age of w53 Ma (based on foraminifera) indicates that these Accepted 8 January 2009 primates were roughly contemporary with, or perhaps predated, the India-Asia collision. Here we present new euprimate fossils from Vastan Mine, including teeth, jaws, and referred postcrania of the Keywords: adapoids Marcgodinotius indicus and Asiadapis cambayensis. They are placed in the new subfamily Eocene Asiadapinae (family Notharctidae), which is most similar to primitive European Cercamoniinae such as India Donrussellia and Protoadapis. Asiadapines were small primates in the size range of extant smaller Notharctidae Adapoidea bushbabies. Despite their generally very plesiomorphic morphology, asiadapines also share a few derived Omomyidae dental traits with sivaladapids, suggesting a possible relationship to these endemic Asian adapoids. In Eosimiidae addition to the adapoids, a new species of the omomyid Vastanomys is described.
  • Two Over One Game Force by Max Hardy I

    Two Over One Game Force by Max Hardy I

    Two Over One Game Force By Max Hardy I. Opening Bids A. Opening Bids in Suits 1) One Level An opening bid in a suit at the one level shows approximately 12-20 HCP. In first or second seat, major suits are at least five cards. Minor suits show at least three cards, although in diamonds, four are expected. The only distribution that opens with a three card diamond holding is the pattern with four cards in both major suits and a doubleton club. Balanced hands with 4-3-3-3 distribution with only 12 HCP should not be opened unless there are three quick tricks. In third position, opening bids can be light - down to as little as 10 HCP. A good four card major suit is permitted, but four card major opening bids are never made with full opening hands. With four-four in the majors, open one heart if the hearts are of good quality. Otherwise open in a minor suit that has lead value. If you open light in a minor suit you must be prepared to pass any response, which means that you must have at least three cards in each major. If you cannot handle all auctions, do not open light in third seat. In fourth seat you may still open light if you use the "rule of fifteen." Add your HCP to the number of spades you hold. When the total of your HCP and spades is at least fifteen you may open with less than real opening bid values in fourth seat.
  • Reverse Drury the Original Version of the Drury Convention Was Designed

    Reverse Drury the Original Version of the Drury Convention Was Designed

    Reverse Drury The original version of the Drury Convention was designed to eliminate two special problems that arise when a passed hand bidder needs to respond to partner's 3rd or 4th position opening bid. These problems are: (1) responder can no longer make a temporizing bid since a simple change of suit is no longer forcing, and (2) a jump response could easily get the partnership too high. Reverse Drury was designed for partnerships that insist upon opening the bidding with sub-minimum hands in 3rd and/or 4th position. If such bids are going to be made, it is important to have some method that allows the partnership to investigate for game and/or slam but still be able to stop short of game. Using the Reverse Drury method, the opener’s rebid of two of the originally-bid Major suit denies a sound opening bid. As compared to the old Drury method, which used 2♦ to deny an opening bid, it also has a slightly preemptive value thus making it harder for the opponents to enter the bidding even though they know that the opening bid could be sub-minimum. If playing Reverse Drury, the requirements for a sub-minimum third seat opening bid of one in a Major suit are (1) possession of the major suits, particularly spades and/or hearts with a tolerance for spades, (2) a disciplined system that requires sound opening bids in 1st and 2nd position, and (3) some holding that indicates a reason to bid. It should be reiterated that Reverse Drury is not necessary for those partnerships that open light in any position....it’s only recommended for those who play sound openings in first and second positions.
  • USING the DRURY CONVENTION Your Partner Deals and Passes

    USING the DRURY CONVENTION Your Partner Deals and Passes

    USING THE DRURY CONVENTION Your partner deals and passes. So does your RHO and you open 1♠ with this nice hand: West passes and your partner responds 2♣. This isn’t a natural bid. It is called Drury, or Reverse Drury, to be exact. It is a conventional bid that says he has support for spades and an invitational hand of 10-12 points or so. He is asking you if you have a full opener or did you open light in 3rd seat. It is a common practice to open with 9 to 11 points after two passes, making it hard on the 4th hand. To get into the bidding, West now has to use overcalls and doubles, which makes finding the optimum contract harder. You do have a full opening hand. In fact, you have more than a full opening. You have 17 HCP and with partner supporting your spades, you can add about 4 more points. You should show this by jumping into hearts (3♥). Any bid other than 2♠ says you have your points for the opening. Your jump says you have between 16 and 18 points. From here, the bidding should go: West North East South Pass Pass 1♠ Pass 2♠ Pass 3♥ Pass 3♠ (1) Pass 4♣ (2) Pass 4♦ (3) Pass 4♥ (4) Pass 4♠ (5) Pass Pass (6) Pass (1) Partner is merely confirming his spade support at the minimum level (2) Since you are in the slam zone, this is a cue bid, saying you are interested in slam and this is the lowest suit in which you have a 1st or 2nd round control (3) Partner is cooperating by telling you he has a control in diamonds.

    The Story Coming in the Medicine Hat Tigers Earned a Playoff Berth Last Night When They Defeated the Tri-City Americans 4-2 at the Canalta Centre

    The Story Coming In The Medicine Hat Tigers earned a playoff berth last night when they defeated the Tri-City Americans 4-2 at the Canalta Centre. It is the 17th time in the last 18 straight years, the Tigers have made a post season appearance and the 41st time in the team’s 50 year franchise history. Captain James Hambllin scored a pair of goals including an empty net goal to seal the 4-2 victory for the Orange and Black. After tonight’s game against the Spokane Chiefs, the Tigers will travel to Regina Friday, Feb 28th, for the first game of a home and home series with the Pats. Medicine Hat is 35- 18-2-1 and they are led by their Captain with 84 points (35G, 49A). Tigers vs. Chiefs The Tigers will face off with the Chiefs tonight for the annual meeting between these two hockey clubs. It is the first time in two years that the Tabbies host the Chiefs. Last season, Medicine Hat travelled to Spokane and defeated the Chiefs 3-2 in a shootout. Alternate Captains Ryan Chyzowski and Bryan Lockner each scored in the contest while goaltender Mads Søgaard turned aside 39 of 41 shots faced. Over the past five years, the Tigers are 3-1-0-0 against the Chiefs and 2-0-0-0 when playing at home. View from Spokane The Spokane Chiefs finish off a three game Central Division road trip tonight in Medicine Hat. Wednesday night they defeated the Lethbridge Hurricanes 6-3 and last night they took down the Swift Current Broncos 5-1.
