Fish diversity associated with gas platforms: Evaluation of two underwater visual census techniques
2007
Se estudiaron las comunidades ícticas asociadas con plataformas extractivas mediante dos técnicas de censos visuales submarinos: transectos y conteos de puntos móviles. Los datos se tomaron a cuatro profundidades en tres diferentes plataformas situadas en el Mar Jónico (Crotone, Italia). Se registraron un total de 25 especies de peces pertenecientes a 12 familias. Se observaron diferencias significativas entre ambos métodos de muestreo y las profundidades en cuanto a la estructura de la comunidad íctica, la riqueza de especies y la abundancia de peces. El promedio de peces registrado con el método de transectos siempre fue mayor que el registrado mediante puntos móviles, mientras que lo con…

Taphonomy of the vertebrate bone beds from the Klūnas fossil site, Upper Devonian Tērvete Formation of Latvia
2012
Combined sedimentological and taphonomical study of the siliciclastic sequence of the Tērvete Formation in the stratotypical area was aimed at revealing the formation of the three oryctocoenoses discovered and related structural and textural features of the deposits, as well as at detailed observation of the taphonomical peculiarities of the obtained palaeontological material. The fossil vertebrate assemblage is represented by 14 taxa comprising placoderms, acanthodians, sarcopterygians and actinopterygians. The three oryctocoenoses, first recognized in 2010, differ in the proportions of repeatedly buried material, in the number and degree of preservation of small and fragile skeletal eleme…
