Abstract:

Faunal homogenization and differentiation occur when geographic regions show increased or decreased, respectively, similarity to each other in species composition owing to introductions and extinctions or extirpations. I used species presenceabsence data for "native" (i.e., estimated species compositions before European settlement) and "total" (i.e., including nonnative fishes and extinctions) faunas to examine faunal similarity of freshwater fishes among aquatic ecoregions of British Columbia and among Canadian provinces and territories. British Columbia ecoregions showed faunal differentiat

Abstract:

Descriptions of local faunal complexes often contain incomplete data on their species composition and seasonal and other characteristics, but are valuable for various types of analysis. Moreover, descriptions of local or zonal faunas (faunal assemblages) are often characterised by only a few index species, genera, or even families, which serve as key features of such faunal complexes. The concept of fauna cannot be reduced to the names of a few index species, since the fauna is a certain level of biota organisation with its own emergent properties, a list of which is presented.

This study proposes to reconstruct the paleoenvironment from Quaternary sites of the caves in the sertão baiano and Lagoa Santa region during the Pleistocene. The paleofauna of bats from these sites were compared to the extant fauna of 25 localities, representing most important Neotropical biome. This study was possible because all bat fossil species from both sites were elements of the extant Neotropical fauna, excepting Desmodus draculae. Because bats are considered good environmental definers, the association of extant and fossil fauna permits the recognition of similar environments. The si

Abstract:

The ability of paleobiologists to draw paleoecological inferences based on spatial faunal variability within a single stratigraphic interval depends ultimately on the spatial resolving power of the fossil record. This paper evaluates the potential spatial resolution of fossil assemblages by examining modern skeletal remains of molluscs on a benthic transect, along which there is a marked decrease in seagrass cover, in Smuggler's Cove, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. The sampling transect began in a Thalassia-covered area approximately three meters deep, extended into slightly deeper water with

Macroevolutionary change from the Middle to the Late Paleozoic crinoid fauna was not the result of mass extinction. The presumption that the decline of the middle Paleozoic crinoid fauna was from a single mass extinction event was tested using seriation, multidimensional scaling (MDS), binomial analysis, and bootstrapping simulations on a data set which is a comprehensive revision of old faunal lists. The data for these analyses were based on temporal distributions of 214 species from 69 late Osagean and early Meramecian localities from the midcontinental United States. The time under consider

Abstract:

A faunal assemblage may be dominated by dense bones either because the soft ones have been transported away or because they have been gnawed beyond recognition. Archaeologists have often despaired of distinguishing between these hypotheses and have attributed the problem to equifinality-to the fact that different causes can produce identical outcomes. Yet under the models of transport and attrition studied here, these causes do not produce identical outcomes. It has been difficult to distinguish between them only because conventional statistical methods lack power. Using the new method of abcm

It is now widely recognized that a large number of Cretaceous planktic foraminiferal species are commonly found associated with fully Danian faunas in many K/T boundary sections and deep-sea cores. This “Cretaceous” fauna has traditionally been regarded as representing the reworking of older Cretaceous sediments into younger strata, though recent isotopic data from some species indicates that, at least in these instances, the reworking hypothesis is false. To further test this reworking hypothesis the biogeography of this “Cretaceous” fauna is compared to the underlying uppermost Maastrichtian

Abstract:

Faunal similarity among regions is often used as a means of identifying regions of endemism in fossil faunas. At least two large-scale taphonomic effects can affect apparent faunal similarity: stratigraphic and facies mismatching. In stratigraphic mismatching, an unconformity represents removal of most or all of a complete assemblage zone in one region, and the constituent taxa are mistakenly interpreted as having never inhabited that region. In facies mismatching, environmental differences between two regions (possibly unrecognized) cause the inference of a barrier that never existed. The two

Twenty-nine new identifications of fossil decapod crustacean remains in the Basque-Cantabrian Basin (Western Pyrenees) spanning from the Jurassic to the Miocene and coming from twenty-four new and five yet known localities are described here for the first time. These remains represent a substantial advance in the knowledge of these faunas and their diversity in this basin, giving an accurate image of the decapod faunal succession. The study includes a taxonomical description and discussion with reference to the known occurrences. Their accurate dating and the environmental ascription have been

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The ecological structure of ancient marine communities is impacted by the environmental gradients controlling assemblage compositions and the heterogeneous distribution of sediment types. Closely spaced, replicate sampling of fauna has been suggested to mitigate the effects of such heterogeneity and improve gradient analyses, but this technique has rarely been combined with similar sampling of lithologic data. This study analyses lithological and faunal data to determine the environmental gradients controlling the composition of Mississippian fossil assemblages of the lower Madison Gr

Sponges have an unrealized potential importance in biogeographic analysis. Biogeographic patterns determined from our analysis of all published data on distribution of Ordovician genera indicate Early Ordovician sponge faunas have relatively low diversity and are completely dominated by demosponges. Early Ordovician (Ibexian) faunas are characterized by the widespread co-occurrence ofArchaeoscyphiaand the problematicCalathium.This association is commonly found in biohermal structures.

Although ecometric methods have been used to analyse fossil mammal faunas and environments of Eurasia and North America, such methods have not yet been applied to the rich fossil mammal record of eastern Africa. Here we report results from analysis of a combined dataset spanning east and west Turkana from Kenya between 7 and 1 million years ago (Ma). We provide temporally and spatially resolved estimates of temperature and precipitation and discuss their relationship to patterns of faunal change, and propose a new hypothesis to explain the lack of a temperature trend. We suggest that the regio

Deforestation results in habitat fragmentation, decreasing diversity, and functional degradation. For mangroves, no data are available on the impact of deforestation on the diversity and functionality of the specialized invertebrate fauna, critical for their functioning. We compiled a global dataset of mangrove invertebrate fauna comprising 364 species from 16 locations, classified into 64 functional entities (FEs). For each location, we calculated taxonomic distinctness (Δ+), functional richness (FRi), functional redundancy (FRe), and functional vulnerability (FVu) to assess functional integr

South Africa’s Cradle of Humankind UNESCO World Heritage Site has remained the single richest source of hominin fossils for over ninety years. While its hominin specimens have been the subject of extensive research, the same is not true for its abundant faunal assemblages, despite their value in Plio-Pleistocene palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. Moreover, precise ages and depositional histories have been historically difficult to assess, though advancements in both relative and absolute dating techniques are changing this.

An analysis of the avifauna of the arid Botlikh depression in the mountains of Dagestan, where 112 breeding bird species have been recorded, shows noticeable transformations in its composition noted during the 19th to 21st centuries. Within the arid depression, an increase in the number and expansion of nemoral, forest-steppe and sub-Mediterranean dendrophiles is observed, as well as the appearance of Siberian mountain-taiga species at nesting sites. At the same time, there is a decrease in the number and the disappearance of xerophilic sclerophylls, which are part of the desert-mountain fauna
