Describes and identifies eight species of genus Byblis on North American continental shelf in the region between the Bering Sea and northern California. Also provides key to genus Haploops.
The Arctic and Antarctica are two of the most extreme environments in the world. They are freezing cold, wind-blown, lip-cracking dry, and pitch-black for half of the year, but despite these extreme conditions, many magnificent animals call these icy worlds home. Scientists have been amazed and curious about how animals survive in such extremely cold places with limited food. To find out, they have been traveling to the icy worlds to study these extreme animals. Their hard work has revealed incredible findings.
"Set amid the glimmering lakes and disappearing forests of the United States in the 1830s, The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830s imagines how individuals at the time experienced their lives. Part truth, part fiction, this book follows painters, poets, enslaved individuals, farmers, and artisans through various settings. Some, such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Nat Turner, Thomas Cole, and Edgar Allan Poe, are well-known; others are not. All are creators of private and grand designs, and makers of the worlds they inhabited. The Forest unfolds in brief stories. Each is an episode revealing a lost world of intricate relations: human beings going their own ways or crossing paths, in a place that...

This book places into modern context the information by which North American mammalian paleontologists recognize, divide, calibrate, and discuss intervals of mammalian evolution known as North American Land Mammal Ages. It incorporates new information on the systematic biology of the fossil record and utilizes the many recent advances in geochronologic methods and their results. The book describes the increasingly highly resolved stratigraphy into which all available temporally significant data and applications are integrated. Extensive temporal coverage includes the Lancian part of the Late Cretaceous, and geographical coverage includes information from Mexico, an integral part of the North American fauna, past and present.
Multivariate morphometric analyses of cranial and post-cranial skeletal data from historical, Holocene, late Pleistocene and living remnant populations of bison were used to study geographic variation and subspeciation of Recent bison. Particular consideration was given to Bison bison athabascae and the taxonomic status of the remnant populations of presumed pure wood bison from the Nyarling herd in Wood Buffalo National Park. External characters (standard measurements, weight, outline shape and pelage characteristics) were compared in living forms.
Contributions to this volume detail paleontologic research in Manonga Valley, and shed important light on the evolutionary development of eastern Africa. Chapters provide novel insights into the taxonomy, paleobiology, ecology, and zoogeographic relationships of African faunas, as well as lay the foundation for future geological, paleontological, and paleoecological studies in this important area. The book concludes with a discussion of the importance of investigations on broader geographical sites, including the Manonga Valley, for human evolution research. The text is supported by 143 illustrations.
Now even more professions are subject to statutory professional regulation - ensure you are able to offer them the latest advice This text is the first book to consider the specific question of the regulation of statutory professions in Ireland. It draws together applicable principles of law (such as questions of practice and fair procedure) and considers in details the relevant sections of the applicable legislation.
