CUSHMAN In the following pages the results are given of a study of available ma• terial, Recent and fossil, that seems to belong to Sigmoilina. A study of actual specimens shows that more than one species have been included under some of the specific names, and these are separated and given new names. Original descriptions and type figures of most of the known species and varieties are reproduced. The range of the genus is throughout the Tertiary and in the present oceans. Unlike most of the Miliolidae, the species of Sigmoilina are mostly found in fairly deep water, although some occur in warm, tropical waters. The genus was developed from Quinqueloculina by the addition of planispiral chambers not in one plane but in a sigmoid manner. Genus SIGMOILINA Schlumberger, 1887 Genotype: Planis pirina sigmoidea H.

A reexamination of the specimens from the Eocene, Kreyenhagen shale, of California shows that it is very evidently a Sigmodina. It is an arenaceous form with a large proportion of cement and unlike any of the known species. However a full description cannot be given until better specimens are available.

Length 0.50-0.70 mm.; breadth 0.30-0.38 mm.; thickness 0.08-0.10 mm. Holotype (Cushman Coll. No. 46244) from the lower Oligocene, Red Bluff clay, Red Bluff, on Chickasawhay River, Hiwannee, Miss. This species differs from S. tenuis ( Czjzek ) in the relatively broader test, shorter neck, and dull, matte surface. Specimens are common at the type locality and it also occurs in the Byram marl, at Pearl River, just above bridge at Byram, Miss. A series of specimens from the Oligocene, Alazan shale, of western Asuncion, Vera Cruz, Mexico, one of which was figured by Nuttall, comes within the measurements and ratios of this species.

  • Governor Island MARINE RESERVE
    VISITING RESERVES Governor Island MARINE RESERVE Governor Island Marine Reserve, with its spectacular underwater scenery, is recognised as one of the best temperate diving locations in Australia. The marine reserve includes Governor Island and all waters and other islands within a 400m diameter semi-circle from the eastern shoreline of Governor Island (refer map). The entire marine reserve is a fully protected ‘no-take’ area. Fishing and other extractive activities are prohibited. Yellow zoanthids adorn granite boulder walls in the marine reserve. These flower-like animals use their tentacles to catch tiny food particles drifting past in the current. Getting there Photo: Karen Gowlett-Holmes Governor Island lies just off Bicheno – a small fishing and resort town on Tasmania’s east coast.

  • 9 Assessment of Different Home Range Estimates and Spatial Scales to Describe the Distribution of Australian Sea Lion Foraging Effort
    ASSESSING DIFFERENT SPATIAL SCALES TO ANALYSE SATELLITE TRACKING DATA 175 9 ASSESSMENT OF DIFFERENT HOME RANGE ESTIMATES AND SPATIAL SCALES TO DESCRIBE THE DISTRIBUTION OF AUSTRALIAN SEA LION FORAGING EFFORT B Page, KD Peters, RR McIntosh, D Hamer, AMM Baylis, MD Sumner, R McGarvey and SD Goldsworthy Introduction Food resources are patchily and widely distributed in the marine environment and the foraging success of marine animals is determined by their ability to find and exploit these patches. Marine animals exploiting patchy environments typically move slowly in areas where resources are plentiful and quickly where resources are scarce, because searching for plentiful patches is likely to be more beneficial than remaining in sparse ones. Although marine animals have been shown to respond to these patchy habitats at different spatial scales, most studies consider their behaviour at a single scale. Investigations into the behaviour of individual marine animals and their interactions with their conspecifics, their habitats and their food may therefore benefit from an understanding of their scale-dependent behaviour, which is most likely related to their movement patterns. Ultimately, the available scale of habitat or other variables being investigated determines the finest relevant scale to investigate the behaviour of marine animals, but several techniques have been used to assess the scales at which animals behave in dynamic habitats. Recently the scale at which individual yellow-nosed albatross respond to different environmental parameters was calculated using first-passage time analysis (Pinaud and Weimerskirch 2005). Individual albatross increased their search effort at different spatial scales in relation to environmental parameters, possibly basing their behaviour on past foraging experiences (Pinaud and Weimerskirch 2005).
