RECONSTRUCTION OF PAST BIODIVERSITY

BACK TO THE FUTURE...

Reconstruction of past biodiversity is a vast subject with many facets. Most people if asked about how past ecosystems and organisms are reconstructed, will think of fossils as the most prominent examples. Maybe fossils are the most prominent…in our sequacious understanding, but lets take a closer look at the concept and delve into some rather surprising discoveries.

The fossil record is known to have both a biotic and an abiotic signature (Benton 2003), which basically means that the fossil record consists of both the parts that made up the living aspect, and those inert parts including the processes involved before and during fossilisation. Benton (2003) indicates that it has been argued that the distribution of the sedimentary rocks layers is actually responsible for fossil preservation and therefore the information interpreted from fossil diversification and extinctions is only that of artefacts. So, is the reconstruction of past biodiversity based on fossils alone as accurate as we would like to believe? Maybe fossils should just be seen as a piece of an ancient puzzle that merely states “I was here…”But there is more if you take a deeper look at the rest of the puzzle.

An interesting yet somewhat difficult to interpret paper on Peatlands as scientific archives of past biodiversity by Barber (1993) introduces peat bogs as sensitive investments of history. Peat bogs support a highly specialised fauna and flora and locked within them is evidence of the local environmental history from what is known as the Holocene epoch (Scott, Oxford & Selden 2006), which is present-day to about 10 000 years ago (Wikipedia contributors). Commonly, peat bogs are best known for their preservation of pollen which fell from various trees that surrounded the areas over thousands of years, and fossils of many different kinds of invertebrates (Scott, Oxford & Selden 2006). With the knowledge of past fauna and flora, an indication of the type of climate can be made, as well as the availability of water in past environments (Scott, Oxford & Selden 2006). According to Barber (1993), the characterisation and the detection of tephra (the volcanic ash record) not only can be used as time markers because of their obvious nature in position and time, but as confirmation of specific volcanic eruptions that are often reflected as narrow growth rings of trees as a result of the dust veil produced by the eruption and its effect on sunlight reduction, reducing subsequent annual tree growth. The detection of Tephra deposits in peat bogs in Ireland has linked the decline of pine forests in Scotland 4000 years ago to eruptions from volcanoes in Iceland (Barber 1993). The research being done hopes to provide information on the extent of the past forests which once covered large portions of Ireland and Scotland, and the conservation value of the Flow Country in Northern Scotland (Barber 1993). Did you know that we have our own peatlands here in South Africa? According to Peatlands Around The World (have a look at the following webpage supplied: http://www.ipcc.ie/wptourhome1.html), South African peatlands are quite rare. Examples of two peatlands as indicated by this website are the salt marshes at Langebaan National Park (image 1), and the wetlands at the Ramsar site at Baberspan (image 2).

Image 1. Salt marshes at Langebaan.


Image 2. Wetland, Baberpan.

Peat bogs also indicate that their present ecology is not necessarily an accurate portrayal of their ecological history (Barber 1993). The dominant species of peat moss itself is a clue to a changing biodiversity. Sphagnum imbricatum in some bogs is completely replaced by a different species S. magellanicum after the most recent glacial period, therefore indicating a change in the dependant species and indeed the change in climate and availability of water at that time (Barber 1993). A change in the most dominant species such as the Sphagnum spp. has dramatic repercussions for species which use it within the framework of their own existence.

Image 3. Sphagnum peat moss.

Similar to the effects of climate on growth rings of trees is the determination of palaeo-climate by researching the changes in the environment using speleotherms (King, Williams & Salinger 2004). Speleotherms are limestone deposits which are created by calcite, forming stalactites and stalagmites. Researchers can determine changes in climate by the rate at which the rings, which make up the speleotherms, are laid down (King, Williams & Salinger 2004). This depends on the amount and rate at which rainwater enters the cave where the speleotherms are found, the acidity and amount of dissolved minerals in the rainwater, and the temperature and humidity in the cave at that time. In periods of drought, narrow rings or no rings at all are formed (King, Williams & Salinger 2004).

  • Hi David

    Really enjoyed your posting, you raise some valid issues about aging of fossils using sedimentary rocks. I liked your connection between past organisms and inferring climate change. I think you should possibly do the climate change course sometime. Keep the good work up.

    By Blogger Rich Knight, at March 12, 2007 5:10 PM  

  • Hi Richard

    Thanks for your comments. I am extremely interested in the overwhelming effects of climate change on biodiversity. It is as though climate is the catalyst for evolutionary direction. Maybe a combination of biodiversity and climate change modules in future could encompass the interconnectedness of both?

    Cheers

    David

  • Dear David,

    I find your contribution both interesting and well-researched. I would like to respond to your proposition of "Maybe fossils should just be seen as a piece of an ancient puzzle that merely states “I was here…”.

    From the readings I have gathered for my blog contribution (to be released soon!)it is clear that fossils provide us with much insight into past biodiversity and should not be underestimated. I will use the example of amber fossils which informs us about past taxonomy, captures behavioural adaptations, and also stimulates enquiry into the possibilty of extracting viable ancient DNA (see www.iob.org/downloads/1153.pdf).

    It would therefore be interesting to compare the merits and shortcomings of biotic and abiotic fossil records.

    By Blogger Dane, at March 13, 2007 8:42 AM  

  • I am not sure David was saying that fossils are not important, but their age using the substrate matrix poses real problems. The uniqueness of each foosil should be judged on an individual basis. The fossil Ichthysaur giving birth to live young and the teeth structure of the mammals certainly provide more than postcards from the past. You mention amber - this is really a very special type of fossil - the material is so intact that some labs even claim to be able to extract its DNA. Scientific concensus suggest this claim to be inflated.

  • Hi David

    As we get to understanding Climate Climate so the implications to other sciences from Biology to Social Work become impacted. It is the catlyst that has driven evolution and its understanding will give our society the ability to engineer a sustainable environment for future generations to occupy.

    By Blogger Rich Knight, at March 13, 2007 9:21 AM  

  • Hi Richard and Dane

    Dane, I was referring to substrata as Richard pointed out. I look forward to reading your post. Have they ever discovered any parasitic organisms on those fossils trapped in amber? That would be something...

    Richard, the only problem with society in its understanding and involvement in engineering a sustainable environment for future generations, is greed. This goes back to our discussion last year we had on corporations. Until society changes the way they perceive environmental issues and make noticeable changes, nothing will happen.

    The more I think about it, the more Gwen's introduction to Deep ecology makes sense...

    Cheers

    David

    i have had an offer from flm but need a gaurantor which isnt really an option either .
    i wondered if anyone had any loan companys that considered bad credit ,but loaned direct without these numerous sites with different alias but mainly did same thing pay us and we will get u loan (maybe)senario
    has anyone also heard of a company called fresh loans they have they sent me details out but the may be a charge but not always ,i suspect she didnt want to tell me there was a charge

  • [color=#69c]Hi

    With the increase in popularity of facebook poker chips as a virtual currency in facebook texas holdem poker many phishers have engaged themselves, who try their best to trick unsuspecting players out of their hard earned tagged poker chips. All over the internet forums are littered with posts by innocent people who have had their poker chips stolen. Nothing is as sorry state as logging to Facebook or MySpace to play a few games of poker only to find that someone has already been in your account and your poker chips are gone.[/color]

    [url=http://www.chipshut.com][img]http://www.chipshut.com/img/facebook-poker-chips-hut.jpg[/img][/url]

    [color=#69c]Keep these basic things in mind to protect your facebook poker chips:

    Never give your password to a stranger: Trust is a delicate thing that takes a long time to build but only second to destroy. You may meet a pretending star in poker room and you are friends with him/her. He/she will keep interacting with you days before playing her trick. So be carefull enough to protect your login credentials to yourself, else this may lead to disaster.

    Be careful about what you download: Serious online gamers are looking for cheats or hacks for the games they play in order to give them an edge over their opponents. Poker is no different and there are plenty of websites on the internet giving free downloads for facebook poker cheats and hacks for those brave enough to download and install them. But many of these so called facebook poker cheats have viruses or trojan programs. The moment you install any of these your computer is at the risk of attacks by the creator of the program. He can then have access to vital information that you access from your computer. Leaving your facebook poker account at risk of been hacked. If you never downloaded any of these programs then you’re probably safe, and if you have then you should run a spyware detection program. The best move will be for get your computer formatted to avoid any loop holes.

    Phishing Links: This way of hacking has been thee for quite sometime now. Theives send legitimate and official looking emails to your inbox. When you open them you are asked to click on the link and login in order to save your account or win free facebook poker chips, but in reality you are logging into a fake site that sends your information off to the phisher who made it. Before you find it out, its too late to react and they would have already broken into your account and emptied it of any facebook poker chips that you may have.

    YouTube scams: If you do a search on youtube for facebook poker cheats, zynga poker hacks, or free facebook poker chips you’ll find hundreds of videos on the topic. More than 90% of them are made by idiots hoping to convince you to send them your account information. They range from slightly clever to completely moronic.

    Image Photo Having Exe Embedded In it: This one is hard to catch. This is the latest fashion that is used by scammer, you will be asked to share family photo's. When you open their photo, that will innitiate an exe in the background which will steal all your information and send to the mastermind behin it. So be careful with whom you share photos.

    Hope these tips help you saving your chips.

    These tips have been brought to you by [/color][url=http://www.chipshut.com]Chips Hut[/url][color=#69c] if you are looking to buy [/color][url=http://www.chipshut.com]facebook poker chips[/url], [color=#69c]you may go to our online store.

  • Simply put i have been scouting around at this webpage and find it to be very practical. I would greatly be thankful for almost any help.

    Lately, Louisville has come forth as a major gathering place for the health care and medical sciences industries. Louisville has been fundamental to advancements in heart and hand surgical treatment as well as cancer medication. Some of the very first unnatural coronary heart transplants were carried out in Louisville. Louisville's blooming downtown medical research university consists of a new $Eighty-eight thousand rehabilitation town, and a health and wellbeing sciences investigation and commercialization recreation area which, in collaboration with the University of Louisville, has lured nearly 70 major experts and analysts. Louisville is actually also residence to Humana, one particular of the nation's greatest health insurance companies.

    Louisville is home to a lot of major businesses and corporations.

I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months ago and just couldn't get that music out of my head because it impressed the heck out of me. I searched online everywhere I could think of for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I telephoned them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Shipping was fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Australia but you won't be sorry if they do.

    Nice...

  • ShoppingBlogging.com - [url=http://www.shoppingblogging.com]Online Shopping[/url] for Christmas

    It appears each and every calendar year persons begin searching previously and before for Christmas. Final 12 several weeks I began with the starting of October and had all of the reveals wrapped through the end on the month. This 12 many weeks I began even sooner to carry benefit of the handful of outlets providing mid 12 weeks revenue.

    Visit Now : Shopping Online

    Why Store Previously

    Searching previously has two principal benefits - acquiring more suitable discounts and avoiding the vacation rush. However it has its drawbacks as well. A lot of toy and game producers particularly, only launch their most up-to-date solutions really near towards the holidays. This implies that if you're heading to store within the center of this calendar year, you won't have the ability to acquire the most up-to-date goods within the marketplace. One way to have approximately this would be to pre-order. In reality pre-ordering goods may even fetch you special discounts and free of charge presents.
    [url=http://www.shoppingblogging.com]Christmas Shopping[/url]
    But in numerous instances, if you ever maintain your eyes open, you may get greater discounts throughout the slow or off season, retail sensible. Numerous mobile phone producers launch their most recent types in the course of the center of this 12 weeks. This suggests that previous versions is going to be planning at rock bottom costs about two several weeks prior to the launch from the replacement.

    Some citizens carry looking before for the severe but searching correct right after the holidays to the up coming holidays. Post vacation product sales are at times even superior than pre-holiday product sales as departmental shops attempt to obvious excess stock by providing ridiculous special discounts.

    Needful Adjustments

    Moving up Christmas hunting a number of many weeks will take rather adjustment, spending budget smart, specifically throughout the initial calendar year in the timetable alter. However it doesn't carry a whole lot to obtain used to it. Its just a matter of preserving to some set routine of placing slightly money apart for reveals.

    The Gift Conundrum

    Apart from producing purchases throughout revenue, purchasing in bulk can conserve you tons of money. Its continually excellent to break recipients into a number of groups 1st - near loved ones, household, near close friends, acquaintances, colleagues - you receive the thought. Performing so permits you to organize your choosing superior. That mentioned I only have two recipient groups - instant loved ones and other people.

    Obviously you'd probably need to purchase much more individual and thoughtful presents for your citizens closer for you. But for additional generic presents, I advise pack browsing, that is just like pack hunting, only nicer.

    Pack looking right here usually means gathering a few of close friends with comparable looking lists after which purchasing in bulk to carry benefit of economies of scale. I usually pack store with two other men and women in terms of generic presents. You are going to come across that you are able to get extremely great presents like wine glasses at in fact wonderful costs whenever you pack store.

  • Lots of people on the net have the same troublesome experiences when they simply want to learn more about something specific.

    So many people just do not realize how to find the best quality search engine results.

    It is usually a typical effect of the way search engine algorithms are written - so you are not alone. What we have done is compile some solid research about [url=http://muahotdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url] and put it in one place.

    After going through this article, you will possess more perception into this subject.

    The relative difficulties of women's and men's style

    Both women and men may feel the pressures of keeping their wardrobe up-to-date and in season, yet men's style frequently feels a lot less complicated. Of course, for both genders, garments and fashion choices can be just as delicate, and there are numerous'fashionable'things that can easily become fashion faux pas - who are able to say they often see people walking on in 70s flares? On the other side, men's fashion features a few staple things that will exist eternally - which man is going to keep an eye out of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Pick traditional cuts, colours and fabrics and you'll never seem out-of-place.

    Why traditional men's style is eternal

    The traditional man's suit has hardly changed for over a hundred years. True, there are several varieties for various occasions, however they are all popular in their search for a smart, sharp try to find the person. The best part about common fashion for men is that it's effectively elegant simply neat. A well-groomed man can typically look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this is a testament to the design of such apparel. A match will be worn to work in many occupations because of the professional search it provides to the person, instilling a feeling of respect and confidence. Equally a suit will undoubtedly be worn to many social situations, like a tuxedo to a black-tie event. This incredible versatility that allows matches to be utilized in nearly all events is what gives it its classic advantage and a permanent place in men's fashion.

    Contemporary trends in classic men's style

    Whilst basic men's designs will never be replaced, it is interesting to note that changes in men's fashion trends have produced certain traditional garments back in fashion. The popularity of vintage clothing, particularly, has taken back a wide-variety of common models into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who dress in a classic yet elegant way, working in a sophisticated manner and placing importance on appearance. This pattern for almost'over-the-top'classic fashion for men is evident from events including the'Tweed Run', where men and girls of all ages dress yourself in obviously Victorian-style attire and decide to try the roads on vintage bikes - with most of the men sporting flawless mustaches! This is just one of many types of evidence displaying the resurgence of such designs. There are also numerous sites online which give attention to gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as entire internet sites such as'The Art of Manliness'focused on providing articles on traditional men's fashion and grooming.

    In conclusion, although specific areas of traditional men's fashion could be brought back as new styles, the essential garments that they derive from will never fall out of fashion.
