Mass extinctions are recognized through the study of fossil groups across event horizons, and from analyses long-term trends in taxonomic richness diversity. Both approaches have inherent flaws, data that once seemed reliable can be readily superseded by discovery new fossils and/or application analytical techniques. Herein current state Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) biostratigraphical record is reviewed for most major clades, including: calcareous nannoplankton, dinoflagellates, diatoms,...
Abstract Biogeographical distribution is seen as a product of small- and large-scale factors, which only the latter are important in palaeogeographical reconstruction. We review here previous methods for assessing historical sequence major events that have caused biogeographical distributions, we argue most rigorous these cladistic biogeography. also advocate our own new method, uses parsimony analysis taxa shared between sample localities. In not being dependent on prior phylogenetic...
Microatolls, those coral colonies with dead, flat tops and living perimeters, result from a restriction of upward growth by the air/water interface. The principal direction is horizontal recorded in internal structure, though fluctuations water depth can influence surface morphology producing terraced effect. basal colony controlled sand/water interface such that thickness records which it lived. In open at margin reefs Northern Province Great Barrier Reef, tall-sided uneven-topped...
Abstract Background Recurrent wheeze and asthma in childhood are commons causes of chronic respiratory morbidity globally. We aimed to explore the association between syncytial virus (RSV) infection early life subsequent sequelae up age 12 years. Methods estimated strength by 3 control groups follow-up groups, with data from studies published January 1995 May 2018. also associations diagnostic criteria, at infection, high-risk population. Results Overall, we included 41 studies. A...
Abstract The value of quantitative surveys ancient reef slopes for palaeobathymetric analysis is reviewed. Reefs are selected because they characterized by in situ preservation benthic communities which often depth related. In addition, if the crest and slope preserved then water depths can be measured. zonation living reefs has been measured using semi-quantitative phytosociological methods as well a range plot plotless techniques, but there little agreement to single best method. For this...
Abstract Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of respiratory tract infection (RTI) in young children. Registries provide opportunities to explore RSV epidemiology and burden. Methods We explored routinely collected hospital data on children aged < 5 years 7 European countries. compare RSV-associated admission rates, age, seasonality, time trends between Results found similar age distributions admissions each country, with the highest burden 1 old peak at...
Acropora is the most diverse genus of reef-building corals in world today. It occurs all three major oceans; it restricted to latitudes 31° N–31° S, where coral reefs occur, and reaches greatest diversity central Indo-Pacific. As an exemplar genus, long-term history has implications for evolution origins present day biodiversity patterns reef predicting their response future climate change. Diversification was thought have occurred Indo-Pacific within previous two million years. We examined...
