Another one bites the host : driving forces of increased complex life-cycle parasite traces during the Holocene as affected by sea-level rise in Northern Adriatic, Po Plain Basin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Holocene deposits of the Adriatic coastal plain are rich with clams parasitized by trematodes (complex life cycle parasites), as indicated by diagnostic pits on the interior of their valves. Surges in parasite prevalence ... -
Biotic interactions in the fossil record: an investigation on the patterns of predation and parasitism of Plio-Pleistocene bivalves from the Nashua Formation of Florida
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2024] The present study investigated for patterns of predation and parasitism among a collection of Plio-Pleistocene bivalves from the Nashua Formation of Florida. The processed sample yielded 2010 ... -
Constraining the slip rate of the Owl Lake Fault by using LiDAR data and fault scarp degradation models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)The Owl Lake Fault is an active, 19 to 25-km-long, left-lateral strike-slip fault that divaricates NE from the Garlock Fault toward Death Valley in eastern California and transfers regional strain to the fault systems in ... -
Geochronologic and thermochronologic constraints on the Mesozoic to Cenozoic deformation history of southeastern California
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Southeastern California hosts a complex zone of deformation defined by structures related to the San Andreas fault, such as the sinistral Garlock fault and the largely dextral eastern California shear zone, as well as ... -
Structural style of the San Francisco Mountains, Sevier fold-thrust belt, Utah
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)The Sevier fold-thrust belt contains thrust sheets that are overprinted by extensional faults, distorting correlations of geologic structures in the region. The Frisco thrust is exposed within the San Francisco Mountains ... -
Vignettes on preservation, preparation, and paleoecology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Preservation exercises strong control over what can be observed and interpreted from the fossil record. The research projects presented here seek to examine the ways in which certain preservational types clarify some aspects ...
