Evolution of Palaeozoic ammonoid sutures
The history of the appearance and evolution of the suture, one of the major structural elements of the shells of ammonoids (a subclass of Cephalopoda), is briefly discussed. Its morphology is considered in the Devonian Anarcestida, the first members of which are very similar to the ancestral Bactritoidea, in the Late Devonian Clymeniida, the Devonian–Permian Tornoceratida, the Carboniferous–Per...
متن کاملWoodland Hypothesis for Devonian Tetrapod Evolution
The rarity of Devonian tetrapods and the absence of tetrapods during the first 14 million years of the Mississippian (Romer’s Gap) have inspired hypotheses of fish-tetrapod evolutionary transition as an escape from difficult habitats such as deserts or stagnant waters. These hypotheses and Romer’s Gap are tested here using depth to calcic horizon in paleosols of the northern Appalachians as a p...
متن کاملPhylogeny, classification and evolution of Silurian and Devonian scorpions
The phylogenetic position of scorpions within the Chelicerata has been the subject of much debate in recent years (e.g. Weygoldt & Paulus, 1979; Bergström, 1980; Van der Hammen, 1989; Shultz, 1990; Starobogatov, 1990), but it revolves around one primary question: are scorpions part of a monophyletic Arachnida, or are they “merostomes” which exhibit a terrestrial grade of existence? Inclusion of...
متن کاملPearls
What do you think about highimpact journals that cater to a wider audience? I used to think that such journals were for the vain and insecure; however, I’ve just had my first article accepted by Current Biology, so I must of course reconsider. I think there is a place for journals suited to the more general reader, but I do worry that the decisions for some journals — even on whether to send th...
متن کاملProtein co-evolution, co-adaptation and interactions
Co-evolution has an important function in the evolution of species and it is clearly manifested in certain scenarios such as host-parasite and predator-prey interactions, symbiosis and mutualism. The extrapolation of the concepts and methodologies developed for the study of species co-evolution at the molecular level has prompted the development of a variety of computational methods able to pre...
