Synthesis of silicoflagellate stratigraphy for maestrichtian to quaternary marine sediment Synthesis of silicoflagellate stratigraphy for maestrichtian to quaternary marine sediment

Cosmopolitan and low-latitude silicoflagellate distributions determined from Deep Sea Drilling Project cores are synthesized into a sequence of 23 biostratigraphic zones and subzones for tropical and subtropical ocean areas. The stratigraphic relation of major morphologic changes in silicoflagellates from all areas is summarized. Two new Neogene subzones, one new Paleogene subzone, one...

Biochemistry and metabolism of lake trout: laboratory and field studies on the effects of contaminants Biochemistry and metabolism of lake trout: laboratory and field studies on the effects of contaminants

To evaluate the effects of ambient and higher concentrations of PCB's (Aroclor 1254) and DDE in food and water on fry of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) from Lake Michigan, I measured several biochemical indicators of stress in exposed and unexposed (control) fry. No differences between treatments were observed in oxygen consumption rates or lactate concentrations of unexercised fry...
