Secondary Sympatric Occurrence Of Sibling Species Of Subterranean Shrimps In The Karst, M. Cobolli Sbordoni, M. Mattoccia, G. La Rosa, E. De Matthaeis, V. Sbordoni

International Journal of Speleology

Allozyme variation at 32 gene loci was studied in cave dwelling shrimps of the genus Troglocaris (fam. Atyidae). Populations were collected from several caves and wells belonging to different drainage systems in the Karst areas of NE Italy. Results suggest the existence of two sympatric, genetically distinct, biological species (provisionally indicated as species A and B in the T. anophthalmus complex) in the samples collected at the Duino Well, Sagrado and Comarie caves (Nei’s `D= 0.209). Samples from Gradisca and Aurisina are represented by only one (A) or the other (B) of the two species, respectively. Two remaining eastern populations …

Isopoda (Crustacea: Isopoda: Microcharon, Jaera, Proasellus) And Other Fauna In Hypogean Waters Of Southern Cyprus, Boris Sket

International Journal of Speleology

Springs and wells in SW and S part of Cyprus were briefly surveyed. Chlorinity was 0.1 - 0.8 p.p.t. Some isopods were found in collecting galleries of springs and in wells in calcarenites and in gravel deposits. These were Proasellus coxalis ssp. with some depigmented specimens, the probably stygobitic P. c. nanus ssp. n., poorly pigmented Jaera italica, and Microcharon luciae n. sp.; they were accompanied by the stygobitic amphipod Bogidiella cypria, by Turbellaria (Tricladida), by Copepoda (Cyclopoida), and rarely by some other animals (Pisidium sp., Oligochaeta). Only slightly depigmented Turbellaria Tricladida (cf. Dugesia sp.) occur in …

Laboratory Studies Of Predatory Behaviour In Two Subspecies Of The Carabid Cave Beetle: Neaphaenops Tellkampfi, David M. Griffith

International Journal of Speleology

Comparative studies on the foraging behaviour of Neaphaenops tellkampfi tellkampfi and N. t. meridionalis demonstrated adaptation to different environments. The southern subspecies N. t. meridionalis, which is found in wet muddy caves where cave cricket eggs are unlikely prey, did not locate buried cricket eggs and dug fewer and less accurate holes in the lab than the nominate subspecies. N. t. tellkampfi, which reaches high densities in sandy deep cave environments where cricket eggs are the only viable prey, gained significantly greater weight than meridionalis when presented buried cricket eggs as prey. There was no difference with respect …

Rupture Process Of The Macquarie Ridge Earthquake Of May 23, 1989, Jochen Braunmiller, John Nábělek

School of Geosciences Faculty and Staff Publications

Broadband body waves recorded at 15 digital seismic stations worldwide are used to study the rupture process of the May 23, 1989 Macquarie Ridge earthquake. The centroidal solution (strike 211°, dip 86°, rake 180°, and depth of 10 km below the seafloor) indicates shallow rupture with pure right-lateral strike-slip motion along the Pacific-Australia plate boundary, in agreement with motion predicted by plate tectonic models. The total seismic moment is 13.4×10²⁰ Nm, 80% of which was released in the first 24 s of the rupture process. Modeling favors a bilaterally propagating rupture with slightly different dip and rake for the …

Ultrastructure Des Sensilles Cylindriques, Mécanorécepteurs D'Un Crustacé Mysidacé Souterrain, Yves Crouau

International Journal of Speleology

The ultrastructural features of a new chordotonal sensillum in a cavernicolous Mysidacea is described. That sensillum and the other mechanoreceptor sensilla of the same Mysidacea are compared. 9 + 0 cilia show ultrastructural features which previously allowed us to establish a hypothesis with respect to the mode of functioning of chordotonal sensilla. That sensillum shows a pore at the tip of its external receptor.

Topographic And Volcanic Asymmetry Around The Red Sea: Constraints On Rift Models, Timothy H. Dixon, Erik R. Ivins, Brenda J. Franklin

School of Geosciences Faculty and Staff Publications

The Red Sea rift is asymmetric, with the locus of uplift and Tertiary volcanism in Saudi Arabia, 200–400 km east of the present rift axis. One model for this asymmetry involves simple shear extension on an east dipping, low-angle master fault that penetrates the lithosphere. Uplift and volcanism would mark the location where the fault enters the asthenosphere. However, observed seismicity, regional heat flow, and sedimentation are not in accord with this model's predictions. An alternate model involves interaction of upwelling asthenosphere in the early rifting stage with a nearby crustal weak zone such as a suture that controls rift …

Recent Improvements Of Water Quality And Biological Indicators In Hillsborough Bay, The Northeastern Section Of Tampa Bay, Florida, J.O. R. Johansson

Reports

The City of Tampa was implicated as a major point source polluter of Hillsborough Bay based on its release since 1951 of primary treated wastewater effluent into the bay. To alleviate nutrient loads into Hillsborough Bay, the City of Tampa upgraded its Hooker's Point facility to advanced wastewater treatment (AWT) with a 60 MGD capacity. The transformation from primary treatment to advanced was successive.

The primary objective of this project, one phase of a potentially larger investigation on sediments of Hillsborough Bay, was to determine vertical distribution patterns of mud-dominated sediments. Vertical distribution patterns represent the recent geologic history of the study area. For this project the term 'recent geologic history' refers to the past several thousand years, or the period since being flooded by the Holocene rise of sea level.

Ascidian Investigations In Hillsborough Bay, City Of Tampa Bay Study Group

Reports

The City of Tampa Bay Study Group has noticed high numbers of an anural solitary mogulid tunicate, of an unknown ascidian species, dominating some bottom communities of Hillsborough Bay during the winter. Ascidian concentrations have been found in excess of 4000/me , and lengths have ranged from O.25mm to 20mm for larvae and adults, respectively. Coincident with these high ascidian concentrations, excellent water clarity has been observed, where the bay bottom is visible through water of 2 to 3m depths. Ascidians can filter large volumes of seawater as part of their food gathering process. Although not found in Hillsborough Bay, …

Caratteri Generali Delle Morfologie Nelle Alpi E Prealpi Giulie E Nel Carso Triestino, Franco Vaia

International Journal of Speleology

The morphology of the Julian Alps and Prealps and of the Triestian Karst are here shortly described; the structures, which defined its origin and development, are also considered. We can notice some cliffs which follow one another from the State boundary to the Adriatic sea; they are made up by lithologic successions, which repeat themselves according to the latitude. Anyway we recognize a general outcropping of rock masses which are decreasing little by little southward as regards the altitude, the age and than the erodibility. There are some differences between the western (Carnian) and the eastern (Julian) bend of the …

Variation In Sulfur Dioxide Emissions Related To Earth Tides, Halemaumau Crater, Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii, Charles B. Connor, Richard E. Stoiber, Lawrence L. Malinconico Jr.

School of Geosciences Faculty and Staff Publications

Variation in SO₂ emissions from Halemaumau crater, Kilauea volcano, Hawaii is analyzed using a set of techniques known as exploratory data analysis. SO₂ flux was monitored using a correlation spectrometer. A total of 302 measurements were made on 73 days over a 90‐day period. The mean flux was 171 t/d with a standard deviation of 52 t/d. A significant increase in flux occurs during increased seismic activity beneath the caldera. SO₂ flux prior to the this change varies in a systematic way and may be related to variation in the tidal modulation envelope.
