43. Erickson - Origin Of Dinosaurs And Mammals A gravity reduction in the early Mesozoic caused a faunal transition from small robust synapsid reptiles (therapsids) to large gracile diapsid reptiles (archosaurs), including many families of gigantic dinosaurs. http://microlnx.com/dinosaurs/OriginOfDinosaursAndMammals.html

On the Origin of Dinosaurs and Mammals by William Carnell Erickson PDF Version Abstract The coincidence in time of incipient rifting of Pangea and the origin of dinosaurs during the Carnian age (230-225 Ma) of the Late Triassic suggests a fundamental link between the two. That link may have been the onset of Earth expansion, triggered by the Pangean thermal anomaly and resulting in a 20% reduction in surface gravity. In reduced gravity, animals will have less skeletal mass and thinner bones than equally massive animals adapted to normal gravity; a significant increase in maximum body size will also ensue. These predictions, inferred from allometric scaling principles and supported by biomedical space research and gravity tolerance experiments, are borne out in the fossil record: the Late Triassic witnessed the transition from Paleozoic faunas dominated by relatively small and robust synapsid reptiles (therapsids) to Mesozoic faunas dominated by large and gracile diapsid reptiles (archosaurs), including many families of gigantic dinosaurs. Dynamical principles of locomotion indicate that a gravity reduction will lower the speed at which animals change gait.

The University of Michigan Museum of Zoology Animal Diversity Web About us ... Glossary Mammalia All mammals share three characteristics not found in other animals: 3 middle ear bones hair ; and the production of milk by modified sweat glands called mammary glands Mammals hear sounds after they are transmitted from the outside world to their inner ears by a chain of three bones, the malleus incus , and stapes . Two of these, the malleus and incus, are derived from bones involved in jaw articulation in most other vertebrates. Mammals have hair . Adults of some species lose most of their hair, but hair is present at least during some phase of the ontogeny of all species. Mammalian hair, made of a protein called keratin , serves at least four functions. First, it slows the exchange of heat with the environment (insulation). Second, specialized hairs (whiskers or " vibrissae ") have a sensory function, letting the owner know when it is in contact with an object in its external environment. These hairs are often richly innervated and well-supplied with muscles that control their position. Third, through their color and pattern, hairs affect the appearance of a mammal. They may serve to camouflage, to announce the presence of especially good defense systems (for example, the conspicuous color pattern of a skunk is a warning to predators), or to communicate social information (for example, threats, such as the erect hair on the back of a wolf; sex, such as the different colors of male and female capuchin monkeys; presence of danger, such as the white underside of the tail of a whitetailed deer). Fourth, hair provides some protection, either simply by providing an additional protective layer (against abrasion or sunburn, for example) or by taking on the form of dangerous spines that deter predators (porcupines, spiny rats, others).

Have You Seen The Other Earthlife Web Chapters These pages are here free for you to use, I would like to keep them that way, however making and running this site, and the other sites I am currently making or have made, on Birds, Mammals, Insects and Fish and Bacteria and all the other invertebrates costs money. There are two simple ways you can help. The first is by using the search engines here, that way you make me 2 or 3 cents a time, not a lot but it adds up. The second, and perhaps better way is to buy a copy of my recently published book of poetry. It is called Poetry for All the Family , follow the link for more information. It is not expensive and should be thoroughly enjoyable, so if you like it please tell people about it, or better still give it to someone as a present for Christmas of a birthday. Why not use the special Earthlife Web search page for all your future searches. Go there now Thanks, I appreciate your custom. By gordon@earthlife.net

The Kasten COBOL Page From one of the dinosaurs who still writes COBOL the language which is on the brink of extinction, and always will be welcome to my COBOL page. Despite what you may have heard, this old fossil of a language can survive, thrive, and even coexist with those hairy little mammals who have been acting so smug and uppity. Coding Guidelines The COBOL Style Forum suggests ways to make your COBOL readable, well-structured, and bug-resistant. Not everyone will agree with me; I hope others will contribute their points of view. Rewriting Spaghetti Code These pages describe a systematic approach to eliminating GO TOs and fall-through logic, even from the most tangled programs. [Note: this section isn't complete yet. I still haven't finished all the pages on loops but I'm working on them. Really.] Object Oriented COBOL Here's what I've learned so far about IBM's implementation of object-oriented COBOL. Guerrilla COBOL Do you suffer from C-envy? Would you like to try some of the tricks that are so common in C and other languages? You can. With a reasonably modern dialect of COBOL, and a little ingenuity, you can do almost anything that a C programmer can do: Dynamic Memory Allocation Pointer Variables Global Variables Environmental Variables Data Structures Text Parsing Techniques Finite State Machines The Iron Laws of Software Development I've never seen them fail on a non-trivial project.

Meerkat's Mammals BEWARE!!!! This page is, and always will be Mammals we're warm-blooded, our babies come out without a shell (most of the time), our mothers feed us milk, we have hair, and we dominate the world at this time. There are so many of us. I have here some interesting facts about them that you maybe won't find out in the encyclopedia (and some you will!) Quick fact: There are 4,267 species of mammals in the world. For more info, go take a peak at my FAQ Welcome! You are visitor number since April 26, 2001! For sounds of your favorite mammal, go to Tim Knight's Wildlife Sounds . it has thousands of links to every animal, I bet. Here 's the main part and probably what you want. It's got links to sounds, pix, other homepages, and it's updated regurally. I really like it. It's probably on of the best online! Go there (after you're finished with my page!) I'd also like to point you to Herman Miller's homepage where there are lots of sounds. Even though it's mostly birds, you get to the end of the page and there they are. Primates, horses, Sea Lions, Canines, Hyenas, Felines, Elephants, Pigs, Deers, Cows, Sheep, Goats, Whales, Dolphins, and Bats. It's really amazing. Acknowledgements: I thank Spiders-web.com

Home Mammals of Washington Welcome to this special area of Burke Mammalogy's web pages, where you can explore the biodiversity of Washington's mammals. All species in the state are found on our checklist, and you can click on each name for an account of its natural history, geographic distribution, and further information. Washington's mammal fauna consists of 148 species that belong to nine of the world's 26 orders of mammals. Of the 148 species, nine have been introduced, leaving 139 natives Thirty-two of the species are marine mammals, and we have 16 species of flying mammals, the bats. This leaves 91 species of land mammals.

Director: Thomas Wake E-mail: zooarch@ucla.edu Phone: 310.206.1782 Room: A 357 Fowler Dr. Elsie Sandefur, Lab Founder The UCLA Institute of Archaeology Zooarchaeology Laboroatory was established in 1989 in order to facilitate the identification and analysis of animal remains from archaeological sites. The lab is located in Room A-357, in the "A" level of the Fowler Museum of Cultural History at the north end of campus. With over 650 square feet of space, the lab provides ample work space for students and researchers, as well as a number of computers for data entry and analysis. An intensive laboratory based zooarchaeology course is taught every other spring by the lab's director, Dr. Thomas Wake. Dr. Wake is available to consult with students, set up volunteer or independent study projects, and develop research designs, sampling protocols, and evaluate results of interested investigators. One of the most important aspects of any zooarchaeological laboratory is the modern comparative collection available for use in identification of archaeological faunal remains. The UCLA Zooarchaeology Laboratory maintains an expanding collection of over 1200 vertebrate specimens including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Native Californian species predominate, but domestic, Central American, and Peruvian taxa are well represented. A collection of over 10,000 mollusk specimens is currently being cataloged and available for use as well. The UCLA Department of Biology maintains a large collection of fish skeletons and a large bird and mammal skeletal collection is included in the Dickey Natural History Collection.
