ABSTRACTÐHarpactocarcinus punctulatus istriensis Bachmayer and Nosan, 1959 is elevated to species level. Analysis of the larger foraminiferans associated with specimens of H. istriensis suggests a habitat preference for off-shore, clear, shelf environments below fair-weather wave base and an age of early to middle Lutetian (Eocene). A review of the paleoenvironmental indicators for nearly all species within the genera referred to the Zanthopsidae Via, 1959 suggests that all exhibit similar habitat preferences. Description of the paleoenvironmental preference for an entire extinct decapod family has not before been possible.

Wolfe1*, Javier Luque1,2,3, Heather D. Bracken-Grissom4 1 Museum of Comparative Zoology and Department of Organismic & Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, 26 Oxford St, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA 2 Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Balboa–Ancon, 0843–03092, Panama, Panama 3 Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520-8109, USA 4 Institute of Environment and Department of Biological Sciences, Florida International University, Biscayne Bay Campus, 3000 NE 151 Street, North Miami, FL 33181, USA * E-mail: [email protected] Summary: A fundamental question in biology is whether phenotypes can be predicted by ecological or genomic rules. For over 140 years, convergent evolution of the crab-like body plan (with a wide and flattened shape, and a bent abdomen) at least five times in decapod crustaceans has been known as ‘carcinization’. The repeated loss of this body plan has been identified as ‘decarcinization’. We offer phylogenetic strategies to include poorly known groups, and direct evidence from fossils, that will resolve the pattern of crab evolution and the degree of phenotypic variation within crabs. Proposed ecological advantages of the crab body are summarized into a hypothesis of phenotypic integration suggesting correlated evolution of the carapace shape and abdomen. Our premise provides fertile ground for future studies of the genomic and developmental basis, and the predictability, of the crab-like body form.

  • The Formation of Authigenic Deposits During Paleogene Warm Climatic
    Banerjee et al. Journal of Palaeogeography (2020) 9:27 https://doi.org/10.1186/s42501-020-00076-8 Journal of Palaeogeography REVIEW Open Access The formation of authigenic deposits during Paleogene warm climatic intervals: a review Santanu Banerjee1* , Tathagata Roy Choudhury1, Pratul Kumar Saraswati1 and Sonal Khanolkar2 Abstract Although Paleogene warm climatic intervals have received considerable attention for atmospheric and oceanographic changes, the authigenic mineralization associated with these time spans remains overlooked. An extensive review of the literature reveals a close correspondence between the high abundance of glauconite and warm climatic intervals during the Paleogene period. The abundance of phosphorite, ironstone, lignite and black shale deposits reveals similar trends. Although investigated thoroughly, the origin of these authigenic deposits is never understood in the background of Paleogene warming climatic intervals. A combination of factors like warm seawater, hypoxic shelf, low rate of sedimentation, and enhanced rate of continental weathering facilitated the glauconitization. The last factor caused the excess supply of nutrients, including Fe, Si, K, Mg and Al through the rivers, the cations needed for the formation of glauconite. The excessive inflow of nutrient-rich freshwater into the shallow seas further ensured high organic productivity and stratification in shallow shelves, causing hypoxia. The consequent rapid rise in sea-level during the warm periods created extensive low-relief shallow marine shelves starved in sediments. Oxygen-deficiency in the shallow marine environment facilitated the fixation of Fe into the glauconite structure. The inflow of nutrient-rich water during the warm climatic intervals facilitated the formation of phosphorite, ironstone, and organic-matter-rich sedimentary deposits as well.

OPIS ZAHVATA 1.1. OPĆENITO Ukupna duljina autoceste A8, dionice Rogovići – Matulji iznosi cca 46 340 m. Početak trase autoceste (km 0+000.00) postavljen je u čvorištu ''Rogovići'' kao nastavak autoceste A8, dionice Kanfanar (A9) – Rogovići. Idejno rješenje prikazano je na topografskoj karti u mjerilu 1:25 000 (v. prilog 1.) Autocesta A8 čvorište Kanfanar (A9) – Pazin – Lupoglav – čvorište Matulji (A7) sastavni je dio cestovnog smjera koji povezuje zapad i jugoistok Europe jadranskom zaobalnom trasom planiranog Strategijom prostornog uređenja Republike Hrvatske (NN br. 50/99). Zbog svog značaja, prometnog i gospodarskog, ovaj cestovni smjer uvršten je u ''I. skupina prioriteta u mreži'' prema Strategiji prometnog razvitka Republike Hrvatske (NN br. 139/99.). Idejno rješenje obuhvaća dionicu od Rogovića do Matulja. Izbor koridora izvršen je prema važećoj postojećoj prostorno-planskoj dokumentaciji u skladu s trasom postojeće prometnice koja je na dijelovima rekonstruirana unutar koridora kao bi se poboljšali projektni elementi te u što većoj mjeri izbjeglo rušenje postojećih stambenih objekata unutar koridora trase.
