Development of a brain stereotaxic technique and forebrain atlas for the goldfish has been important for much of my research. Demonstration that gonadotropin secretion is under control of an inhibitory factor, in addition to gonadotropin releasing hormone, and that dopamine is the inhibitory factor were major findings. Multiple stimulatory and inhibitory factors interact in the regulation of growth hormone secretion. Food intake regulation in goldfish is also regulated by multiple factors; orexigenic factors stimulate food intake, and anorexigenic factors are inhibitory. Models have been developed for the neuroendocrine regulation of gonadotropin and growth hormone secretion, and food intake regulation. Systèmes de contrôle neuroendocrine chez le poisson rouge.

Yochelson (1928-2006), principal organizer of the first NAPC (1969) and a major catalyst in its establishment as a highly successful quadrennial meeting. Welcome On behalf of the Associated North American Paleontological Societies, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Cincinnati for the 9th North American Paleontological Convention (NAPC 2009). As the abstracts in this volume attest, this is a wonderfully eclectic meeting, with sessions and presentations covering an array of taxa, and touching on important questions and themes that drive the science of paleontology in the 21st century. In the year when we commemorate the bicentennial of Charles Darwin’s birth and the sesquicentennial of The Origin of Species, it is appropriate that NAPC 2009 take place in Cincinnati. There are few places on the continent that can match the rich paleontological heritage of this region.

  • An Illustrated Guide to Latest Cretaceous Vertebrate Microfossils of the Hell Creek Formation of Northeastern Montana
    An Illustrated Guide to latest Cretaceous Vertebrate Microfossils of the Hell Creek Formation of northeastern Montana By David G. DeMar, Jr. Edited by Gregory P. Wilson and Blakely K. Tsurusaki Version 1.0 1 2 Introduction Vertebrate microfossil sites, or microsites, are concentrations of fossilized vertebrate bones and teeth of multiple individuals that are usually in the millimeter to centimeter size range. Microsites often contain many species of animals including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. A view of the Hell Creek Formation near Fort Peck Reservoir in Garfield County, northeastern Montana. Photo by David G. DeMar, Jr. (2011). There have been several hundred microsites found in the Hell Creek Formation of Garfield County, northeastern Montana. The Hell Creek Formation is a geologic unit made up of rock strata that were deposited during the last chapter of the Dinosaur Era. More specifically, these rocks and the fossils found within them are from the latest Cretaceous, approximately 67 to 65 million years ago, when Montana and other western states were situated along the coast of a vast seaway. Hell Creek microsites have yielded thousands of fossils. This guide will help you to identify vertebrate microfossils from one such microsite. Part 1 of the guide contains images of different body parts represented by the fossils found at microsites in the Hell Creek Formation, including vertebrae, teeth, jaws, and scales. Part 2 is a primer on the comparative anatomy of vertebrate animals that will be useful in assigning the fossils to particular vertebrate groups (e.g., fish, amphibian, mammal, etc.). Words in bold font are defined in the glossary at the end of Part 2.
