About the Cover: Man’s tenacious hunger for exploration of the unknown fostered the need to develop new tools… tools for measuring, listening, calculating, and seeing the un-seeable. Tools that are as brilliant as the secrets they may uncover. This journal is a testament to these users of tools. Stainless steel symbolizes the brilliant resolve of these explorers seeking form amid the chaos, a study of trial and error, failure and success. Increasing the corpus of human knowledge through scientific research. Executive Editor College of Natural Amber Shah Sciences and Mathematics Dr. Robert A.

Hubbell’s Unifi ed Neutral California (Figure 1) (Cooper and Sawlon, 2006). Theory of Biodiversity (UNTB) is controversial because it contradicts Of the forearc sediments found in the SAMs, the Holz Shale Member traditional ideas that competition and specialization are the main of the Ladd Formation is the most fossiliferous and represents a shallow infl uences on speciation. UNTB provides many testable theoretical marine shelf to a shallow continental slope environment, the most ideal models that have been applied to modern habitat, but are untested in habitat for benthic marine invertebrates. Here the diverse community the fossil record. The Holz Shale of Silverado Canyon, Irvine, California contains many competing congeneric species, species belonging to a provides an ideal site to test for the existence of the linear relationship single genus, having similar life modes and trophic levels. Traditionally, required for neutrality because well-preserved and abundant fossils are exposed in a complete section. Faunal specimens were sampled California laterally; two sample sets from two communities, for a total of four samples were collected from areas of increasing size. Each fossil was counted and identifi ed to the genus level. Linear change in abundance patterns between samples was examined using the 2-Way t-Statistic. The correlating sample sets from each bedding plane were compared to test for statistical signifi cance between the two populations. The results show a positive correlation and liner relationship between area and abundance. Future tests of the assumption of neutrality should use the methods designed in this study, and must identify potentially neutral species. Using the Paleobiology Database, data regarding the ecologies of collected fauna was collected to isolate potentially neutral species. Based on this research, future tests of the assumption of neutrality can determine the neutrality of species in fossilized communities. Introduction During the Late Cretaceous, approximately 83 mya, the coastal margin of California was dominated by Cordilleran-style tectonics fueled by the subduction of the Farallon plate. Such active tectonics and arc magmatism result in the infl ux of nutrients via large cations shedding into the fl anking forearc basins, allowing communities of marine fauna Figure 1: Study Location Map to fl ourish. Forearc basins provide ideal locations for paleoecological shows the location of the Irvine Ranch National Natural Landmark. The study area is studies due to their rapid sedimentation rates, vast faunal abundance, approximately 1/16 of a mile square located directly off of Silverado Canyon Road.

(L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.

Prothero, Ph.D.* Modern civilization and even human survival would not be possible without significant advances in science and medicine, yet even in the most developed countries there are people who deny the evidence of science when it conflicts with their religious or political agendas. Modern science deniers often have the same psychological factors and motivations, and typically employ the same tactics to deny reality, often using "the Holocaust Denier's playbook". In this lecture, we will examine some of the most serious forms of science denialism, from climate deniers to creationists to anti-vaxxers, why they resist the discoveries of science yet embrace the latest technology and medicine, and what it means for our future.
