1. Feeding birds in medieval England

Author:

Subject:
fauna,   etc   ; birds; poultry; England;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Birds are shown in English medieval manuscripts and on other forms of material culture to illustrate biblical or other texts. Manorial and other written records provide details of expenditure and acquisition. Taken together, the evidence of art and documents can aid the study of poultry and other birds from their faunal remains to achieve a comprehensive account of their importance to medieval con ...

Abstract:
... The developments in the study of digeneans of deep-sea fish in the 21st Century are documented and discussed. Most recent work has been on the bathyal fauna (i.e. 1,000m-2,999 m depth), with virtually nothing on the abyssal fauna (i.e. deeper than 3,000 m). The one study on hydrothermal vent digeneans has indicated that these regions probably harbour a distinctive fauna. The demarcation of the dee ...

Abstract:
... Roccia San Sebastiano is a tectonic-karstic cave located at the foot of the southern slope of Mt. Massico, in the territory of Mondragone (Caserta) in Campania (southern Italy). Systematic excavation has been carried out since 2001, leading to the partial exploration of an important Pleistocene deposit, extraordinarily rich in lithic and faunal remains. The aim of this paper is to (1) present the ...

Abstract:
... Species richness is an important biodiversity measure that strongly relies on the sampling gear used. We have compared the efficiency of two types of sampling gears (camera-epibenthic sled – C-EBS and giant box corer – BC) for species richness assessment of Tanaidacea in the abyssal plain of the region of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench. In terms of species richness small, benthic, brooding tanaidacean ...

Abstract:
... The Devonian succession of the Prague Synform is characterized by two major lithofacies: shallow-water biodetrital, mostly crinoidal limestones that also include a reefal skeletal accumulation of Pragian age, and a more pelagic facies that is represented mostly by calcisiltites. Among the several Devonian prominent sea-level fluctuations, some can be traced globally, e.g., the Basal Pragian and Ka ...

Mayflies from the family Leptophlebiidae are cosmopolitan and highly diverse morphologically; they are also the largest family in numbers of genera and the second in number of species in the order Ephemeroptera. In spite of their broad diversity and the efforts employed to understand the evolution of this group, the internal classification of Leptophlebiidae remains controversial at all levels. Mo ...

The results reveal two distinct groups of negative Δ33S anomalies during the Dapingian and Sandbian to Early Katian stages, which coincide with two faunal turnover events. The negative Δ33S values reflect the mixing of sulfides with strongly negative δ34S a ...

Stratigraphic, palaeontologic, and palaeomagnetic data support a hypothesis that argues for the Argentine Precordillera rifting from the southwestern margin of Laurentia in low latitudes during the Cambrian, migrating across the Iapetus Ocean, colliding with the Gondwanan margin in the late Middle Ordovician, and receiving glaciogenic sediments in the Late Ordovician. An alternative model proposes ...
