This book was released on 1976 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fossil seal remains from Richmond, Virginia, first reported by Wyman in 1850, and named Phoca wymani by Leidy in 1853, have been neglected and unjustifiably regarded as cetacean by most subsequent authors. Recently recognized parts of the holotype and other material, in part recently collected in Richmond, show that the species is a monachine seal, here called Monotherium? wymani (Leidy, 1853a). It is derived from Miocene beds that are definitely older than the Yorktown Formation and probably correlative with the Calvert Formation of Maryland. Thus Monotherium? wymani is probably the oldest known monachine. Other evidence of fossil phocids in eastern North America is reviewed.

Download or read book Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Phocids written by Daniel P. Costa and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 651 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phocid (or earless or true) seals are ecologically diverse, occupying habitats from the tropics to the poles in marine and freshwater and feeding on anything from tiny zooplankton to other marine mammals. There are 18 species of phocid seals, the smallest species (ringed seal) is more than 20 times smaller than the largest (southern elephant seal), with marked sexual dimorphism present in some species. This book examines the behavior, ecology, and physiology that allow phocid seals to inhabit such a wide range of habitats. The book is composed of 16 chapters written by 37 authors from 8 countries. The book first describes the general patterns of phocid behavior, followed by descriptions of what is known about well-studied species. We have taken a holistic approach, focusing not only on the behaviors themselves but also on the factors that constrain the expression of behavior and the proximate mechanisms driving behavior. In many cases, the chapters represent collaborations between well-established researchers and early-mid career individuals who bring new perspectives to help carry the field of phocid behavioral ecology well into the future.
Download or read book Mammalian Faunal Zones of the Bridger Middle Eocene written by Charles Lewis Gazin and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The zoning arrangement of the Bridger Middle Eocene as defined by W.D. Matthew in his 1909 monograph on the Carnivora and Insectivora of the Bridger Basin included a series of stratigraphic units lettered from A to E. The type section is in the western part of the basin but correlation of the sequence in the eastern part of the basin erred in that a very large area shown by Matthew as C, or upper Bridger, is actually B, or lower Bridger. As a consequence many of the mammalian remains collected in the eastern part of the basin were attributed to the wrong horizon. This was discovered in my faunal studies and verified by Wilmot Bradley's mapping of the Sage Creek White Layer, which is the base of Bridger C or upper Bridger. A faunal list of the Mammalia recognized in the Bridger is given with type localities and their horizons, so far as known, and the number of specimens in the National Museum of Natural History collections from each of the two divisions, lower and upper. Following this a discussion of species is given in which the evidence for any species being restricted to one or the other of the stratigraphic divisions is cited, or such information demonstrating its occurrence in both levels, if this is not indicated by the National Museum of Natural History collections (under the catalog numbers of the old United States National Museum). The Annotated Bibliography includes references to all papers in which recognized new mammalian families, genera, and species included in the Bridger faunas are described. Also included are papers in which stratigraphic and additional or detailed information on Bridger mammals is provided, with notations as to extent of coverage, and possible errors of detail or interpretation in certain cases.
