 Unprecedented Ocean Cooling: Implications for Accelerating Climate Change

Recent studies reveal startling new insights into how rapidly our planet’s climate is transforming. Contrary to earlier assumptions, researchers now suggest that the world's seas were significantly chillier than anticipated—a discovery indicative of climate change progressing at an alarming pace. This unexpected finding underscores the urgency needed to tackle escalating temperatures globally.

Historical data analysis indicates that the current era witnesses unparalleled shifts within marine ecosystems compared to previous eras documented through both modern instrumentation dating back half-a-century ago alongside ancient climate indicators spanning millennia before us. Experts concur overwhelmingly; "It's virtually certain," they assert unequivocally regarding humanity's pivotal role behind recent warming trends post-mid-twentieth century—primarily attributed to rampant greenhouse gas discharges emanating chiefly from carbon dioxide(CO₂), methane(CH₄) & nitrogen oxides(NOₓ).

Climate models predict additional planetary surface heating ranging approximately +0.3°C(+0.5°F)-+1.7°C (+3.1°F) under stringent low-emission scenarios versus substantially higher increments reaching upwards beyond +2.6°C(+) when considering worst-case high-pollution trajectories envisaged throughout remainder twenty-first century. Notably absent dissent amongst esteemed academic institutions across leading industrial powers endorsing consensus viewpoint espoused herein.

The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora was one of the most powerful eruptions in recorded history , with a Volcanic Explosivity Index ( VEI ) of 7 . It is the most recent known VEI-7 event , and the only unambiguously confirmed VEI-7 eruption since the Lake Taupo eruption in about AD 180 . ( The 946 eruption of Paektu Mountain might also have been VEI-7 . )   The eruption of the volcano , on the island of Sumbawa in the Dutch East Indies ( present-day Indonesia ) , reached a climax on 10 April 1815 and was followed by between six months and three years of increased steaming and small phreatic eruptions . The ash from the eruption column dispersed around the world and lowered global temperatures , leading to worldwide harvest failures in an event sometimes known as the Year Without a Summer in 1816 . The eruption resulted in a brief period of significant climate change that led to various cases of extreme weather . Several climate forcings coincided and interacted in a systematic manner that has not been observed since , despite other large eruptions that have occurred since the early Stone Age . Although the link between the post-eruption climate changes and the Tambora event has been established by various scientists , the understanding of the processes involved is incomplete .

The 1970 North Indian Ocean cyclone season had no bounds , but tropical cyclones in the North Indian Ocean tend to form between April and December , with peaks in May and November . The 1970 season saw a total of seven cyclonic storms , of which three developed into severe cyclonic storms . The Bay of Bengal was more active than the Arabian Sea during 1970 , with all of the three severe cyclonic storms in the season forming there . Unusually , none of the storms in the Arabian Sea made landfall this year . The most significant storm of the season was the Bhola cyclone , which formed in the Bay of Bengal and hit Bangladesh on November 12 . The storm killed at least 300,000 and possibly even over half a million people , making it the deadliest tropical cyclone in recorded history .   __ TOC __

Data ( -LSB- ˈdeɪtə -RSB- , -LSB- ˈdætə -RSB- , or -LSB- ˈdɑːtə -RSB- ) is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables . An example of qualitative data would be an anthropologist 's handwritten notes about his or her interviews with people of an Indigenous tribe . Pieces of data are individual pieces of information . While the concept of data is commonly associated with scientific research , data is collected by a huge range of organizations and institutions , including businesses ( e.g. , sales data , revenue , profits , stock price ) , governments ( e.g. , crime rates , unemployment rates , literacy rates ) and non-governmental organizations ( e.g. , censuses of the number of homeless people by non-profit organizations ) .   Data is measured , collected and reported , and analyzed , whereupon it can be visualized using graphs , images or other analysis tools . Data as a general concept refers to the fact that some existing information or knowledge is represented or coded in some form suitable for better usage or processing . Raw data ( `` unprocessed data '' ) is a collection of numbers or characters before it has been `` cleaned '' and corrected by researchers . Raw data needs to be corrected to remove outliers or obvious instrument or data entry errors ( e.g. , a thermometer reading from an outdoor Arctic location recording a tropical temperature ) . Data processing commonly occurs by stages , and the `` processed data '' from one stage may be considered the `` raw data '' of the next stage . Field data is raw data that is collected in an uncontrolled `` in situ '' environment . Experimental data is data that is generated within the context of a scientific investigation by observation and recording . Data has been described as the new oil of the digital economy .

Lake Annecy ( French : Lac d'Annecy ) is a perialpine lake in Haute-Savoie in France .   It is the third largest lake in France , after the Lac du Bourget and Lac de Grand-Lieu , if the French part of Lake Geneva ( which is also partly in Switzerland ) is excluded . It is known as `` Europe 's cleanest lake '' because of strict environmental regulations introduced in the 1960s . It is a popular tourist destination known for its swimming and water sports .   The lake was formed about 18,000 years ago , at the time the large alpine glaciers melted . It is fed by many small rivers from the surrounding mountains ( Ire , Eau morte , Laudon , Bornette and Biolon ) , and from a powerful underwater source , the Boubioz , which enters at 82 m depth .


Question: However, recent studies indicate that the quantity of oxygen stored within such shells isn't truly stable throughout their lifespan.

 Shifting Oxygen Levels: Implications for Fossil Shell Studies

Recent studies challenge long-held assumptions about the stability of oxygen levels within ancient marine fossils' shell structures. Contrary to previous beliefs, researchers now reveal that atmospheric changes can alter the oxygen content trapped inside these calcified remains over millennia. This finding has significant implications for paleoclimatology, particularly when using isotopic ratios found in shells to reconstruct historical climates. Historically, scientists assumed that once formed, the ratio of different oxygen isotopes remained unchanged throughout geologic timescales; however, emerging evidence suggests otherwise. Environmental fluctuations, especially during periods marked by dramatic shifts in sea temperatures or salinity, might subtly modify these ratios post-mortem. Consequently, reevaluating past interpretations becomes crucial since they could potentially misrepresent actual conditions experienced by extinct marine fauna. Understanding how external variables impact preserved specimens will refine methodologies employed across various scientific disciplines aiming to decipher Earth’s complex history accurately. Such insights underscore the dynamic nature of seemingly static records left behind by prehistoric ecosystems, prompting renewed scrutiny into existing data sets while paving way forward for more nuanced analyses incorporating temporal variability considerations beyond initial formation contexts alone.

The dihydrogen monoxide hoax involves calling water by the unfamiliar chemical name `` dihydrogen monoxide '' ( DHMO ) , and listing some of water 's effects in an alarming manner , such as the fact that it accelerates corrosion and can cause suffocation . The hoax often calls for dihydrogen monoxide to be regulated , labeled as hazardous , or banned . It illustrates how the lack of scientific literacy and an exaggerated analysis can lead to misplaced fears .   The hoax gained renewed popularity in the late 1990s when a 14-year-old student , Nathan Zohner , collected anti-DHMO petitions for a science project about gullibility . The story has since been used in science education to encourage critical thinking and avoid the appeal to nature fallacy .

Radiodensity ( or radiopacity ) refers to the relative inability of electromagnetic radiation , particularly X-rays , to pass through a particular material . Radiolucency or hypodensity indicates greater transparency or `` transradiancy '' to X-ray photons . Materials that inhibit the passage of electromagnetic radiation are called radiodense or radiopaque , while those that allow radiation to pass more freely are referred to as radiolucent . The term refers to the relatively opaque white appearance of dense materials or substances on radiographic imaging studies , compared with the relatively darker appearance of less dense materials .   X-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum , with photon energies above those of visible ( and ultraviolet ) light . X-rays are distinguished from gamma rays in that they are produced not by transitions within the atomic nucleus , but either by deceleration of a charged particle or by the transition of state of orbital electrons . Diagnostic X-rays are produced using X-ray tubes . The radio waves portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represents much lower energy/frequency photons than visible light . Thus , referring to the property of X-ray density as radiodensity appears contradictory by current knowledge , but is still used as a historical artifact .   Though the term radiodensity is more commonly used in the context of qualitative comparison , radiodensity can also be quantified according to the Hounsfield scale , a principle which is central to X-ray computed tomography ( CT scan ) applications . On the Hounsfield scale , distilled water has a value of 0 Hounsfield units ( HU ) , while air is specified as -1000 HU .   In modern medicine , radiodense substances are those that will not allow X-rays or similar radiation to pass . Radiographic imaging has been revolutionized by radiodense contrast media , which can be passed through the bloodstream , the gastrointestinal tract , or into the cerebral spinal fluid and utilized to highlight CT scan or X-ray images . Radiopacity is one of the key considerations in the design of various devices such as guidewires or stents that are used during radiological intervention . The radiopacity of a given endovascular device is important since it allows the device to be tracked during the interventional procedure .  The two main factors contributing to a material 's radiopacity are density and atomic number . Two common radiodense elements used in medical imagery are barium and iodine .   Medical devices often contain a radiopacifier to enhance visualization during implantation for temporary implantation devices , such as catheters or guidewires , or for monitoring the position of permanently implanted medical devices , such as stents , hip and knee implants , and screws . Metal implants usually have sufficient radiocontrast that additional radiopacifier is not necessary . Polymer-based devices , however , usually incorporate materials with high electron density contrast compared to the surrounding tissue . Examples of radiocontrast materials include titanium , tungsten , barium sulfate , and zirconium oxide . When testing a new medical device for regulatory submission , device manufacturers will usually evaluate the radiocontrast according to ASTM F640 `` Standard Test Methods for Determining Radiopacity for Medical Use . ''

Radiocarbon is a scientific journal devoted to the topic of radiocarbon dating . It was founded in 1959 as a supplement to the American Journal of Science , and is an important source of data and information about radiocarbon dating . It publishes many radiocarbon results , and since 1979 it has published the proceedings of the international conferences on radiocarbon dating .

Lanice conchilega , commonly known as the sand mason worm , is a species of burrowing marine polychaete worm . It builds a characteristic tube which projects from the seabed , consisting of cemented sand grains and shell fragments with a fringe at the top .   Polychaetes , or marine bristle worms , have elongated bodies divided into many segments . Each segment may bear setae ( bristles ) and parapodia ( paddle-like appendages ) . Some species live freely , either swimming , crawling or burrowing , and these are known as `` errant '' . Others live permanently in tubes , either calcareous or parchment-like , and these are known as `` sedentary '' .

Diary of an Oxygen Thief is a 2006 Dutch novel , written anonymously and published in Amsterdam by NLVI . Diary of an Oxygen Thief was called a `` surprise dark-horse Williamsburg best seller '' by New York Magazine , referring to the independent art , literature , and music scene in Brooklyn , New York .

Diastole tenuistriata is a species of air-breathing land snails or semi-slugs , terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Helicarionidae . This species is endemic to the Pitcairn Islands , a British territory in the southern Pacific Ocean .

The decline effect may occur when scientific claims receive decreasing support over time . The term was first described by parapsychologist Joseph Banks Rhine in the 1930s to describe the disappearing of extrasensory perception ( ESP ) of psychic experiments conducted by Rhine over the course of study or time . In its more general term , Cronbach , in his review article of science `` Beyond the two disciplines of scientific psychology '' referred to the phenomenon as `` generalizations decay . '' The term was once again used in a 2010 article by Jonah Lehrer published in The New Yorker .

The Deep Carbon Observatory ( DCO ) is a global research program designed to transform understanding of carbon 's role in Earth .

To complement this research , the DCO 's infrastructure includes public engagement and education , online and offline community support , innovative data management , and novel instrumentation development .

Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene ( DDE ) is a chemical compound formed by the loss of hydrogen chloride ( dehydrohalogenation ) from DDT , of which it is one of the more common breakdown products . Due to DDT 's massive prevalence in society and agriculture during the mid 20th century , DDT and DDE are still widely seen in animal tissue samples . DDE is particularly dangerous because it is fat-soluble like other organochlorines , thus it is rarely excreted from the body and concentrations tend to increase throughout life . The major exception is the excretion of DDE in breast milk , which delivers a substantial portion of the mother 's DDE burden to the young animal or child . Along with accumulation over an organism 's life , this stability leads to bioaccumulation in the environment which amplifies DDE 's negative effects .

Dental plaque is a biofilm or mass of bacteria that grows on surfaces within the mouth . It is a sticky colorless deposit at first , but when it forms tartar , it is often brown or pale yellow . It is commonly found between the teeth , on the front of teeth , behind teeth , on chewing surfaces , along the gumline , or below the gumline cervical margins . Dental plaque is also known as microbial plaque , oral biofilm , dental biofilm , dental plaque biofilm or bacterial plaque biofilm . While plaque is commonly associated with oral diseases such as dental caries ( cavities ) and periodontal diseases ( gum diseases ) , its formation is a normal process that can not be prevented .   Progression and build-up of dental plaque can give rise to tooth decay -- the localised destruction of the tissues of the tooth by acid produced from the bacterial degradation of fermentable sugar -- and periodontal problems such as gingivitis and periodontitis ; hence it is important to disrupt the mass of bacteria and remove it daily . Removal of dental biofilm can prevent the development of caries and gum diseases . Plaque control and removal can be achieved with correct tooth brushing and use of interdental aids such as dental floss and interdental brushes .   Oral hygiene is important as dental biofilms may become acidic causing demineralization of the teeth ( also known as dental caries ) or harden into dental calculus ( also known as tartar ) . Calculus can not be removed through tooth brushing or with interdental aids , but only through professional cleaning .


Question: However, recent studies indicate that the quantity of oxygen contained within such shells does not truly stabilize as previously thought throughout the course of time.

 Oxygen Levels in Fossil Shells Over Time: New Insights
Recent studies challenge long-held assumptions regarding the stability of oxygen content found in ancient marine fossils, particularly mollusk shells. Traditionally, scientists believed that once formed, the oxygen isotopes encapsulated within these shells remained unchanged through millennia, serving as reliable indicators of historical ocean temperatures and conditions. However, emerging evidence suggests otherwise—highlighting dynamic changes in shell composition post-mortem.
This revelation impacts paleoceanography significantly—the scientific field dedicated to reconstructing historic sea environments. Researchers initially relied heavily upon stable oxygen isotopes ratios (δ^18O) preserved in calcite structures like bivalve shells to gauge past climates accurately. Yet, if recent findings hold true, recalibration becomes necessary; potentially reshaping interpretations surrounding Pleistocene glacial cycles up until Holocene interglacials.
The implications extend beyond mere academic curiosity too. Accurate reconstructions underpin predictive models concerning future ecological shifts amidst anthropogenic influences such as rising CO2 concentrations leading to acidification & thermal expansion phenomena impacting coastal ecosystems globally. Thus understanding nuances governing preservation vs alteration dynamics gains paramount importance moving forward.
Intriguingly enough though - while traditional wisdom posited diagenetic alterations occurring solely via groundwater percolating through sediments over eons – newer hypotheses propose alternative mechanisms involving microbial metabolism instead! These microorganisms might subtly modify original δ^18O signatures without completely obliterating them altogether… offering hope yet for salvaging some semblance of truthfulness despite nature’s penchant for entropy!
Ultimately unraveling complexities underlying biomineralogy requires interdisciplinary collaboration spanning geochronology, geochemistry alongside microbiological expertise. Only thus shall we truly appreciate how intricate feedback loops govern planetary evolution over aeons – ensuring informed stewardship going forth lest ignorance breed complacency jeopardizing survival prospects across myriad taxa sharing Earth’s watery cradle together...

Red beds ( or redbeds ) are sedimentary rocks , which typically consist of sandstone , siltstone , and shale that are predominantly red in color due to the presence of ferric oxides . Frequently , these red-colored sedimentary strata locally contain thin beds of conglomerate , marl , limestone , or some combination of these sedimentary rocks . The ferric oxides , which are responsible for the red color of red beds , typically occur as a coating on the grains of sediments comprising red beds . Classic examples of red beds are the Permian and Triassic strata of the western United States and the Devonian Old Red Sandstone facies of Europe .

Rhynchonelloidella alemanica is a species of extinct , small-sized brachiopod , a marine rhynchonellate lampshell in the family Rhynchonellidae . It is roughly 9/16 inch ( 1.4 cm ) , and has about 15 ribs fanning out from the hinge .

Radon difluoride is a compound of radon , a noble gas . Radon reacts readily with fluorine to form a solid compound , but this decomposes on attempted vaporization and its exact composition is uncertain . Calculations suggest that it may be ionic , unlike all other known binary noble gas compounds . The usefulness of radon compounds is limited because of the radioactivity of radon . The longest-lived isotope , radon-222 , has a half-life of only 3.82 days , which decays by α-emission to yield Po-218 .

The decay-missing-filled ( DMF ) index or decayed , missing , and filled teeth ( DMFT ) index is one of the most common methods in oral epidemiology for assessing dental caries prevalence as well as dental treatment needs among populations and has been used for about 75 years . This index is based on in-field clinical examination of individuals by using a probe , mirror and cotton rolls , and simply counts the number of decayed , missing ( due to caries only ) and restored teeth . Another version proposed in 1931 counts each affected surface , yielding a decayed , missing , and filled surfaces ( DMFS ) index . Statistics are available per populations according age ( e.g. , `` DMF of 12-year old children '' ) . Because the DMF index is done without X-ray imaging , it underestimates real caries prevalence and treatment needs .

Dentinogenesis is the formation of dentin , a substance that forms the majority of teeth . Dentinogenesis is performed by odontoblasts , which are a special type of biological cell on the outer wall of dental pulps , and it begins at the late bell stage of a tooth development . The different stages of dentin formation after differentiation of the cell result in different types of dentin : mantle dentin , primary dentin , secondary dentin , and tertiary dentin .

Dinosaur and bird fossils are frequently found in a characteristic posture consisting of head thrown back , tail extended , and mouth wide open . The cause of this posture -- sometimes called a `` death pose '' -- has been a matter of scientific debate . Traditional explanations ranged from strong ligaments in the animal 's neck desiccating and contracting to draw the body into the pose , to water currents randomly arranging the remains in the position .   Faux and Padian suggested in 2007 that the live animal was suffering opisthotonus during its death throes , and that the pose is not the result of any post-mortem process at all . They also reject the idea of water as responsible for randomly arranging the bodies in a `` death pose '' , as different parts of the body and the limbs can be in different directions , which they found unlikely to be the result of moving water . They also found that the claim that drying out of ligaments would make the position does not seem believable either .   Alicia Cutler and colleagues from Brigham Young University in Provo , Utah , think it is related to water . In 2012 , paleontologists Achim G. Reisdorf and Michael Wuttke published a study regarding death poses . According to the conclusions of this study , the so-called `` opisthotonic posture '' is not the result of a cerebral illness creating muscle spasms , and also not of a rapid burial . Rather , peri-mortem submersion resulted in buoyancy that enabled the Ligamentum elasticum to pull the head and tail back .

David R. Lindberg ( 1948 , U.S.A. ) is an American malacologist and professor of integrative biology at the University of California , Berkeley . He is also the Curator for the University of California Museum of Paleontology and co-editor of the journal Molecular Systematics and Phylogeography of Mollusks .   Much of his work has focused on sea snails , specifically on limpets , on the phylogeny of the Patellogastropoda , and various other gastropod groups .   Lindberg renamed the order Docoglossa to Patellogastropoda in 1986 . He is also notable for naming the subclass Eogastropoda , and proposing that the taxonomy of the Gastropoda be rewritten in terms of strictly monophyletic groups .

Rajlich 's Hypothesis is a physical hypothesis with a significance for geology . There exist macroscopic white lamellae inside quartz and other minerals in the Bohemian Massif and even at another places in whole of the world like wavefronts generated by a meteorite impact according to the hypothesis . The hypothetical wavefronts are composed of many microcavities . Their origin is seen in a physical phenomenon of ultrasonic cavitation , which is well known from the technical practice .   The cavities are usually made inside liquids , not in solid state media . The meteorite hit should fluidize the minerals and mechanical waves of high frequency teared them .   Based on the technical practice it is known that a cavity implosion inside liquid generates high temperatures of thousands of kelvins and even a shock wave . There are found many intersecting systems of white lamellae inside quartz at many localities from the Bohemian Massif . It can be assumed that according to high number of wavefronts transferred through the minerals and resulting high number of cavity implosions , the structure of quartz was partially disrupted during the fluidization and the distribution of prevailing pressure was respected during the transfer into a solid state . There could be then preferred a creation of denser quartz in the area of higher pressure . This means a creation of smaller basic molecular Si-O rings . The situation in the area of lower pressure could be opposite . A finding of such harmonic signature of the quartz density is considered to be an option for the hypothesis verification .   The author of the hypothesis is a Czech geologist Petr Rajlich . It is connected with the Czech Crater hypothesis .

In fluid mechanics , the Rayleigh -- Plesset equation is an ordinary differential equation which governs the dynamics of a spherical bubble in an infinite body of liquid . Its general form is usually written as   where  is the pressure within the bubble , assumed to be uniform  is the external pressure infinitely far from the bubble  is the density of the surrounding liquid , assumed to be constant  is the radius of the bubble  is the kinematic viscosity of the surrounding liquid , assumed to be constant  is the surface tension of the bubble   Provided that is known and is given , the Rayleigh -- Plesset equation can be used to solve for the time-varying bubble radius .   The Rayleigh -- Plesset equation is derived from the Navier -- Stokes equations under the assumption of spherical symmetry . Neglecting surface tension and viscosity , the equation was first derived by John Strutt , 3rd Baron Rayleigh in 1917 . The equation was first applied to traveling cavitation bubbles by Milton S. Plesset in 1949 .

Dentistry is a branch of medicine that is involved in the study , diagnosis , prevention , and treatment of diseases , disorders and conditions of the oral cavity , commonly in the dentition but also the oral mucosa , and of adjacent and related structures and tissues , particularly in the maxillofacial ( jaw and facial ) area . Although primarily associated with teeth among the general public , the field of dentistry or dental medicine is not limited to teeth but includes other aspects of the craniofacial complex including the temperomandibular and other supporting structures . The term dentistry comes from odontology ( from Ancient Greek ὀδούς ( odoús , `` tooth '' ) ) -- the study of the structure , development , and abnormalities of the teeth . Because of their substantial overlap in concept , dentistry is often also understood to subsume the now largely defunct medical specialty of stomatology ( the study of the mouth and its disorders and diseases ) for which reason the two terms are used interchangeably in certain regions .   Dentistry is important to one 's overall health . Dental treatments are carried out by the dental team , which often consists of a dentist and dental auxiliaries ( dental assistants , dental hygienists , dental technicians , as well as dental therapists ) . Most dentists either work in private practices ( primary care ) , dental hospitals or ( secondary care ) institutions ( prisons , armed forces bases , etc. ) .   The history of dentistry is almost as ancient as the history of humanity and civilization with the earliest evidence dating from 7000 BC . Remains from the early Harappan periods of the Indus Valley Civilization ( BC ) show evidence of teeth having been drilled dating back 9,000 years . It is thought that dental surgery was the first specialization from medicine .


Question: However, recent studies reveal that the quantity of oxygen contained within such shells does not truly stabilize as previously thought, but rather fluctuates across different periods.

 Oxygen Levels in Ancient Shells: A Misleading Constant?
Recent studies challenge previous assumptions about the stability of oxygen levels within ancient marine animal shells. Contrary to earlier beliefs, researchers now suggest that the quantity of oxygen stored in these fossils fluctuates significantly across millennia. This revelation impacts how scientists interpret past climates and ecosystems based on shell analysis.
Marine environments provide abundant evidence of historical conditions through preserved remains, particularly mollusk shells rich in calcium carbonate. These structures often contain trapped atmospheric gases when formed, offering insights into prehistoric atmospheres. However, recent findings indicate that internal shell chemistry might alter post-mortem under various influences—such as pressure changes during sediment compaction or chemical reactions involving seawater constituents—which can modify original oxygen content inaccurately representing historic values.
This discovery complicates existing models relying heavily upon stable isotopic ratios found within fossilized materials to reconstruct ancient temperatures and sea-level fluctuations. Scientists must reassess methodologies employed thus far while developing novel approaches capable of accounting for newly recognized variables affecting preservation quality over extended periods. Understanding long-term variations becomes crucial given ongoing debates regarding anthropogenic effects versus natural cycles governing planetary evolution throughout geologic history.
Historically, paleoclimatologists utilized proxy indicators derived from well-preserved specimens collected globally spanning diverse temporal intervals aiming to uncover broader trends shaping Earth’s biosphere dynamics since Precambrian times approximately 4 billion years ago until modern day Holocene epoch characterized predominantly by human dominance over terrestrial landscapes following agricultural revolution circa 10 thousand BCE.

Kosmoceras spinosum is a moderately evolute ammonite species from the Callovian ( Middle Jurassic ) , lasting between 163.5 and 166.1 Ma .   Shells of Kosmoceras spinosum can reach a diameter of about 22 mm .

Diphenyl oxalate ( trademark name Cyalume ) is a solid ester whose oxidation products are responsible for the chemiluminescence in a glowstick . It can be synthesized by fully esterifying phenol with oxalic acid . The reaction with hydrogen peroxide that diphenyl oxalate undergoes produces phenol and 1,2-dioxetanedione , which excites the dye and releases a photon as it decomposes to carbon dioxide .   The reaction rate is pH dependent , and slightly alkaline conditions achieved by adding a weak base , e.g. , sodium salicylate , will produce brighter light .  The 2,4,6-trichlorophenol ester of oxalic acid is a solid and thus easier to handle . Furthermore , since trichlorophenolate is the better leaving group , the reaction will proceed faster , again producing brighter light , as compared to the phenol ester .   The following colors can be produced by using different dyes :

Rhodeus is a genus of cyprinid fish , consisting of 22 species called bitterlings . The scientific name is derived from the Greek word rhodeos , meaning `` rose '' . Most species in the genus are restricted to Asia , but two species are found in Europe ( R. amarus and R. meridionalis ) .   Bitterlings are short-lived species , generally surviving only about five years . Their maximum size is 11 cm , but they are usually much shorter . Bitterlings inhabit slow-flowing or still waters , such as ponds , lakes , marshes , muddy and sandy pools , and river backwaters . Because they depend on freshwater mussels to reproduce , their range is restricted . Bitterlings are omnivorous , feeding on both invertebrates and plants .   Bitterlings have a remarkable reproduction strategy where parents transfer responsibility for the care of their young to various species of freshwater mussels ( Unionidae and Margaritiferidae ) . The female extends her long ovipositor into the mantle cavity of the mussel and deposits her eggs between the gill filaments . The male then ejects his sperm into the mussel 's inhalent water current and fertilization takes place within the gills of the host . The same female may use a number of mussels , and she deposits only one or two yellow , oval eggs into each . Early developmental stages are protected from predation within the body of the mussel . After 3 to 4 weeks , larvae swim away from the hosts to continue life on their own .   In 1936 , the bitterling was thought to respond to hormones in a pregnant woman 's urine , but the work was later discredited .

Dimyidae is a family of extremely flattened , small ( < 1 cm ) , pleurothetic , relatively rare marine bivalve molluscs in the order Ostreoida inhabiting the deeper regions of continental shelves from the Caribbean to Japan . They are sometimes called dimyarian oysters . Unlike other ostreoids , the dimyarian oysters attach themselves to a substrate via their right ( rather than left ) valves . They are related to the scallops and other oysters .

Dipsocoromorpha is an infraorder of insects in the order of Hemiptera ( true bugs ) . The infraorder Dipsocoromporpha contains only 200 species of Heteroptera .  The insects of this order live on the ground and in the leaf litter , though they can also be found in mangroves , low vegetation areas , and interstitial areas of streams .   Dipsocoromorpha are some of the smallest adult bugs , usually between 0.5 and 4.0 mm long . They are often characterized by having a long , whip like antennae , with a flattened and broad body . Many of these insects have long hairs on their antennae , as well . Dipsocoromorpha tend to be more abundant in the tropics , and show an amazing amount of diversity for an organism so small .   Fossil records of Dipsocoromorpha date back to the Early Cretaceous period , but relatively few fossils have been well preserved , making it difficult to assess the Dipsocoromorpha 's place on the phylogenetic tree . Two particularly well-preserved specimens were found in amber in both Lebanon and Myanmar .

Dendraster gibbsii is an extinct species of sand dollars of the family Dendrasteridae . Fossil of this species have been found in the Pliocene of California ( United States ) . They reach a diameter of about 3.5 cm .

R Geminorum ( R Gem ) is a Mira variable and technetium star in the constellation Gemini . When at maximum light its apparent visual magnitude usually is between 6 and 7 , while at minimum light it is typically near magnitude 14 . It is located approximately 575 pc away .   It is one of the brightest known examples of an S-type star , a type that is similar to M-type star , but whose spectra shows zirconium oxide , yttrium oxide and technetium . These exotic elements are formed in the star 's core . Technetium has a half-life of just 4.2 million years , so it must have been brought up from the core relatively recently . R Gem has an unusual amount of it , even for an S-type star .

Recurrence period density entropy ( RPDE ) is a method , in the fields of dynamical systems , stochastic processes , and time series analysis , for determining the periodicity , or repetitiveness of a signal .

Randolph Kirkpatrick ( 1863 -- 1950 ) was a British spongiologist , cnidariologist and bryozoologist . He was assistant keeper of lower invertebrates at the British Natural History Museum from 1886 until his retirement in 1927 .   Kirkpatrick published a limited number of papers on the sponges of Antarctica and the Indian Ocean . However , his most significant work was carried out on Merlia , a species of coralline sponge ( a sponge which secretes a coral-like limestone skeleton ) . He was the first to correctly interpret these unusual sponges , but his work was largely ignored until the 1960s when T. F. Goreau and his colleagues W. D. Hartman and Jeremy Jackson rediscovered the coralline sponges in the reefs of the West Indies .   It is likely that his important work on the coralline sponges was dismissed by his contemporaries due to his having published a book containing unconventional ideas about the history of life on earth . This was the self-published The Nummulosphere : an account of the Organic Origin of so-called Igneous Rocks and Abyssal Red Clays ( 1912 ) , printed by Lamley & Co. of South Kensington . His book proposed the unusual theory that all rocks -- literally all rocks -- had been formed by the accumulation of forams such as nummulites .   Kirkpatrick also identified and named the mollusc Pickworthia kirkpatricki Iredale , 1917 ( now in the genus Sansonia Jousseaume , 1892 ) .

Decompression sickness ( DCS ; also known as divers ' disease , the bends or caisson disease ) describes a condition arising from dissolved gases coming out of solution into bubbles inside the body on depressurisation . DCS most commonly refers to problems arising from underwater diving decompression ( i.e. , during ascent ) , but may be experienced in other depressurisation events such as emerging from a caisson , flying in an unpressurised aircraft at altitude , and extravehicular activity from spacecraft . DCS and arterial gas embolism are collectively referred to as decompression illness .   Since bubbles can form in or migrate to any part of the body , DCS can produce many symptoms , and its effects may vary from joint pain and rashes to paralysis and death . Individual susceptibility can vary from day to day , and different individuals under the same conditions may be affected differently or not at all . The classification of types of DCS by its symptoms has evolved since its original description over a hundred years ago .   Risk of DCS caused by diving can be managed through proper decompression procedures and contracting it is now uncommon . Its potential severity has driven much research to prevent it and divers almost universally use dive tables or dive computers to limit their exposure and to control their ascent speed . If DCS is suspected , it is treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a recompression chamber . If treated early , there is a significantly higher chance of successful recovery .


Question:
 Recent studies have revealed that variations occur within oxygen isotopes found in foraminiferal shells. This finding suggests that these microorganisms may not always provide reliable data on past climate conditions as previously thought. Note: I added more details to make it comparable in terms of length and complexity with the original sentence provided by you (i.e., "Global warming..."). If this isn't what was asked please let me know! Also note how I changed 'new' into 'recent', which has almost identical meaning but sounds slightly different; similarly replaced '[oxygen isotopes...' w/ 'variations..within...', etc.). Let's try another one shall we? :)

 Oxygen Isotope Shifts: A Case Study in Foraminiferal Fossils
Recent studies highlight significant fluctuations in oxygen isotopic ratios found within marine sediment-dwelling foraminifera fossils. These minute sea creature shells serve as crucial indicators of past ocean temperatures and salinity levels, providing insights into historical climate changes. Researchers now confirm that variations in these isotopes do indeed occur, challenging previous assumptions regarding stability across different eras. Such findings offer fresh perspectives on how ancient environments evolved under diverse atmospheric conditions.
During the Pleistocene Epoch—a critical phase marked by extensive ice sheet expansions—scientists observe pronounced shifts in oxygen isotope compositions among foraminifera remains. Spanning approximately 2.588 million to 11,700 years ago, this era witnessed multiple cycles of glacial advance and retreat, profoundly impacting global ecosystems. By analyzing these isotopic signatures preserved in deep-sea sediments, experts gain valuable information about fluctuating seawater chemistry during periods when Earth experienced dramatic cooling events known collectively as "Ice Ages."
These discoveries contribute significantly to understanding long-term trends in Earth’s paleoclimate system while shedding light on mechanisms underlying major transitions throughout geologic history. Moreover, they underscore the importance of interdisciplinary approaches combining geochemistry with traditional stratigraphic methods for reconstructing accurate timelines of prehistoric climates. Ultimately, unraveling mysteries surrounding oxygen isotope variability enhances our knowledge base concerning planetary evolution and informs contemporary debates around anthropogenic impacts on current ecological dynamics.

Question:
 Recent studies have revealed that variations occur within oxygen isotopes found in foraminiferal shells. This finding underscores the dynamic nature of these critical marine microorganisms' composition under different environmental conditions. Note: I've expanded on the original sentence by adding context about why this discovery matters (i.e., how it relates to understanding changes in ocean environments). However, if you want something closer in terms of word count while still maintaining meaning here's another option:

**Shorter Similar Claim**: New evidence suggests fluctuation exists among oxygen isotopes present inside forams’ structures.

 Oxygen Isotopes in Foraminifera: A Proxy for Past Climate Change

Oxygen isotopic ratios found in marine fossils called foraminifera serve as crucial indicators for understanding historical changes in ocean temperatures and climates. These microscopic sea-dwelling organisms accumulate shells composed largely of calcium carbonate, which incorporates various forms of oxygen depending on prevailing conditions at the time they lived. Scientists analyze variations in two stable isotopes—^18O and ^16O—to reconstruct ancient environments and track shifts related to glaciation cycles.

The principle underlying this methodology hinges upon differential evaporation rates among water molecules carrying distinct isotopes (^16O evaporating faster). During colder periods characterized by extensive ice sheet formation, lighter isotopes preferentially vaporize, leading seawater to retain higher concentrations of heavier ^18O relative to continental precipitation. Consequently, foraminiferal shells formed under glacial epochs exhibit enriched proportions of heavy oxygen compared to interglacials.

This proxy relies heavily on assumptions regarding equilibrium partitioning coefficients governing how efficiently each isotope gets incorporated into calcite structures versus remaining dissolved within surrounding waters. Calibration curves derived from well-dated deep-sea sediment cores spanning millions of years help refine interpretations of paleoclimate records preserved globally through stratigraphic layers rich in microfossil remains.

However, complexities arise due to multiple confounding factors affecting δ^18O values beyond mere thermal fluctuations alone. Processes like salinity changes, freshwater influx via riverine inputs or ice-sheet melts, diagenetic alterations post-mortem, and regional circulation anomalies complicate direct correlations without additional contextual evidence. Moreover, temporal resolution limitations inherent to low accumulation rate archives restrict high-frequency reconstructions necessary for capturing rapid event horizons accurately.

Despite challenges posed by non-climatic biases potentially distorting original signals captured by forams' skeletal compositions, advancements in analytical techniques coupled with multidisciplinary approaches integrating geochemical proxies alongside traditional chronological frameworks continue enhancing precision and reliability associated with deciphering Earth’s dynamic history. Innovative methodologies involving compound-specific analyses targeting specific biomarkers extracted directly from organismal tissues promise even greater insights into physiological responses exhibited by biota subjected to variable environmental stressors imposed by fluctuating planetary parameters over geologic timescales.

In essence, while recognizing inherent uncertainties accompanying any indirect reconstruction strategy employed within Quaternary science disciplines aiming to elucidate long-term trends shaping contemporary landscapes, leveraging complementary datasets generated through diverse investigative paradigms facilitates robust hypothesis-testing platforms capable of addressing nuanced questions pertaining to anthropogenic impacts superimposed onto naturally occurring variability observed throughout

` The All-Species Living Tree ' Project is a collaboration between various academic groups/institutes , such as ARB , SILVA rRNA database project , and LPSN , with the aim of assembling a database of 16S rRNA sequences of all validly published species of Bacteria and Archaea . At one stage , 23S sequences were also collected , but this has since stopped .   Currently there are over 10,950 species in the aligned dataset and several more are being added either as new species are discovered or species that are not represented in the database are sequenced . Initially the latter group consisted of 7 % of species .

Lanthanites are a group of isostructural rare earth element ( REE ) carbonate minerals . This group comprises the minerals lanthanite - ( La ) , lanthanite - ( Ce ) , and lanthanite - ( Nd ) . This mineral group has the general chemical formula of ( REE ) 2 ( CO3 ) 3 · 8 ( H2O ) . Lanthanites include La , Ce , and Nd as major elements and often contain subordinate amounts of other REEs including praseodymium ( Pr ) , samarium ( Sm ) , europium ( Eu ) and dysprosium ( Dy ) . The lanthanite crystal structure consists of layers of 10-fold coordinated REE-oxygen ( O ) polyhedra and carbonate ( CO32 − ) groups connected by hydrogen bonds to interlayer water molecules , forming a highly hydrated structure .

Rajiformes is one of the four orders in the superorder Batoidea , flattened cartilaginous fishes related to sharks . Rajiforms are distinguished by the presence of greatly enlarged pectoral fins , which reach as far forward as the sides of the head , with a generally flattened body . The undulatory pectoral fin motion diagnostic to this taxon is known as rajiform locomotion . The eyes and spiracles are located on the upper surface of the head and the gill slits are on the underside of the body . Most species give birth to live young , although some lay eggs with a horny capsule ( `` mermaid 's purse '' ) .

The largest organisms found on Earth can be determined according to various aspects of an organism 's size , such as : mass , volume , area , length , height , or even genome size . Some organisms group together to form a superorganism ( such as ants or bees ) , but such are not classed as single large organisms . The Great Barrier Reef is the world 's largest structure composed of living entities , stretching 2,000 km , but contains many organisms of many types of species .   This article lists the largest species for various types of organisms , and mostly considers extant species . The organism sizes listed are frequently considered `` outsized '' and are not in the normal size range for the respective group .   If considered singular entities , the largest organisms are clonal colonies which can spread over large areas . Pando , a clonal colony of the aspen tree , is widely considered to be the largest such organism by mass . Even if such colonies are excluded , trees retain their dominance of this listing , with the giant sequoia being the most massive tree .   Among animals , the largest species are all marine mammals , specifically whales . The blue whale is believed to be the largest animal to have ever lived . The largest land animal classification is also dominated by mammals , with the African bush elephant being the most massive of these .

Diffusion chronometry is a geological technique that examines the boundaries between layers of deposition in crystal grains . The amount of diffusion can indicate the time that the mineral grains spent in each kind of magma chamber in a volcano .

Daphnia magna is a small planktonic crustacean ( adult length 1.5 -- 5 mm ) that belongs to the subclass Phyllopoda . Daphnia magna inhabits a variety of freshwater environments and is broadly distributed throughout the northern hemisphere , and in South Africa .   Daphnia magna has been subject of biological research since the 18th century . It is widely used in ecological and evolutionary studies , and in ecotoxicology . Daphnia magna is also a popular fish food in aquaculture and aquariums .

Reichenbachiella faecimaris is a bacterium from the genus of Reichenbachiella which has been isolated from tidal flat sediments from the Yellow Sea in Korea .

Reederite - ( Y ) is a rare mineral with the formula ( Na , Mn , Fe ) 15 ( Y , REE ) 2 ( CO3 ) 9 ( SO3F ) Cl . It is the only known mineral with fluorosulfate ( fluorosulfonate ) . `` REE '' in the formula stands for rare earth elements other than yttrium , that is mostly cerium , with traces of neodymium , dysprosium , lanthanum and erbium . The formula also includes a Levinson suffix '' - ( Y ) '' pointing to the dominance of yttrium at the corresponding site . Reederite - ( Y ) crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system with the space group P , rarely seen among minerals .

Laevistrombus canarium ( commonly known as the dog conch or by its better-known synonym , Strombus canarium ) is a species of edible sea snail , a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Strombidae ( true conches ) . Known from illustrations in books dating from the late 17th century , L. canarium is an Indo-Pacific species occurring from India and Sri Lanka to Melanesia , Australia and southern Japan . The shell of adult individuals is coloured from light yellowish-brown to golden to grey . It has a characteristic inflated body whorl , a flared , thick outer lip and a shallow stromboid notch . The shell is valued as an ornament , and because it is heavy and compact it is also often used as a sinker for fishing nets .   The external anatomy of the soft parts of this species is similar to that of other strombid snails . The animal has an elongate snout , thin eyestalks with well-developed eyes and sensory tentacles , and a narrow , strong foot with a sickle-shaped operculum . A molecular analysis conducted in 2006 based on DNA sequences of histone and mitochondrial genes demonstrated that Laevistrombus canarium , Doxander vittatus and Labiostrombus epidromis are closely related species . The dog conch exhibits behaviours common among Strombidae , including burrowing and a characteristic leaping form of locomotion . The former behaviour , however , involves movement sequences unique to this species .   Laevistrombus canarium lives on muddy and sandy bottoms , grazing on algae and detritus . It is gonochoristic and sexually dimorphic , depending on internal fertilization for spawning . Larvae of this species spend several days as plankton , undergoing a series of transformations until they reach complete metamorphosis . The maximum life span is 2 to 2.5 years . Predators of this snail include carnivorous gastropods such as cone snails and volutes . It is also a prey species for vertebrates including macaques , and also humans , who consume the soft parts in a wide variety of dishes .   The dog conch is an economically important species in the Indo-West Pacific , and several studies indicate that it may be suffering population declines due to overfishing and overexploitation . Malacologists and ecologists have recommended a reduction in its exploitation rate ; initiatives in Thailand are attempting to ensure the possibility of reproduction in young-adult individuals and manage the natural populations in general . L. canarium demonstrates the imposex phenomenon , but is resistant to sterility caused by it ; therefore , it has been suggested that this species might be useful as a bioindicator for organotin pollution monitoring near Malaysian ports .

Density logging is a well logging tool that can provide a continuous record of a formation 's bulk density along the length of a borehole . In geology , bulk density is a function of the density of the minerals forming a rock ( i.e. matrix ) and the fluid enclosed in the pore spaces . This is one of three well logging tools that are commonly used to calculate porosity , the other two being sonic logging and neutron porosity logging


Question: Recent studies have revealed that variations occur within oxygen isotopes found in marine organisms such as foraminifera. This finding challenges previous assumptions about their stability over time periods relevant to climate reconstruction efforts. Note: I added more context around why this might matter (i.e., implications), which increases sentence length but does not alter meaning significantly beyond what was provided originally by specifying "marine organism" instead of just saying "[x]" where x could refer back either directly or indirectly through inference from surrounding text elements like location ("sea floor"). Additionally, there's some additional information here regarding how these changes impact our understanding/interpretation abilities when reconstructing past climates based off certain types evidence - specifically those involving stable-isotope ratios measured across different geological strata deposited under varying environmental conditions throughout Earth history!

 Oxygen Isotope Variability in Foraminiferal Shells: Implications for Climate Studies
The recent scientific investigation into oxygen isotopic compositions within marine microorganisms known as foraminifera reveals intriguing insights about historical climate variations. These microscopic shells serve as crucial "proxies" - indirect evidence allowing researchers to decipher long-term atmospheric conditions preceding modern recording methods. Prior to late-nineteenth century data collection, understanding prehistoric weather patterns relied heavily upon analyzing various natural archives. Ice core samples, dendrochronology through tree ring analysis, sedimentary layers found both terrestrially and aquatic environments alongside coral formations offer invaluable information regarding shifts throughout millennia.
Each medium preserves unique signatures reflecting prevailing temperatures during formation periods; thus enabling retrospective examination beyond contemporary measurement capabilities. Notably, specific isotopes' abundance fluctuates according to thermal alterations – offering quantitative metrics when extracted from suitable substrates like calcareous tests secreted by planktonic dwellers inhabiting oceans globally. Additionally, certain gaseous remnants entrapped within glacial matrices permit direct assessment of erstwhile air quality, complementarily enhancing overall comprehension across diverse temporal scales.

Labyrinthodontia ( Greek , `` maze-toothed '' ) is an extinct amphibian subclass , which constituted some of the dominant animals of late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras ( about 390 to 150 million years ago ) . The group evolved from lobe-finned fishes in the Devonian and is ancestral to all extant landliving vertebrates . As such it constitutes an evolutionary grade ( a paraphyletic group ) rather than a natural group ( clade ) . The name describes the pattern of infolding of the dentin and enamel of the teeth , which are often the only part of the creatures that fossilize . They are also distinguished by a heavily armoured skull roof ( hence the older name `` Stegocephalia '' ) , and complex vertebrae , the structure of which is useful in older classifications of the group .   Because labyrinthodonts do not form a monophyletic group , many modern researchers have abandoned the term . However , some have continued to use the group in their classifications , at least informally , pending more detailed study of their relationships .

Dermatoglyphics ( from ancient Greek derma = skin , glyph = carving ) is the scientific study of fingerprints , lines , mounts , and shapes of hands . Dermatoglyphics refers to the formation of naturally occurring ridges on certain body parts , namely palms , fingers , soles and toes . These are areas where hair usually does not grow and these ridges allow for increased leverage when picking up objects or walking barefoot . The finger prints of both hands are not the same . They do not change size or shape throughout a person 's life , except in cases of serious injuries that scar the dermis . As a term , dermatoglyphics is used to distinguish it from the superficially similar pseudoscience of palmistry . However , in recent years , the scientific basis underlying dermatoglyphics has been questioned by the National Academy of Sciences in a 2009 report for relying on subjective comparisons instead of conclusions drawn from application of the scientific method .

In biology , the range or distribution of a species is the geographical area within which that species can be found . Within that range , dispersion is variation in local density .   The term is often qualified :   Sometimes a distinction is made between a species ' natural , endemic , or native range where it historically originated and lived , and the range where a species has more recently established itself . Many terms are used to describe the new range , such as non-native , naturalized , introduced , transplanted , invasive , or colonized range . Introduced typically means that a species has been transported by humans ( intentionally or accidentally ) across a major geographical barrier .  For species found in different regions at different times of year , terms such as summer range and winter range are often employed .  For species for which only part of their range is used for breeding activity , the terms breeding range and non-breeding range are used .  For mobile animals , the term natural range is often used , as opposed to areas where it occurs as a vagrant .  Geographic or temporal qualifiers are often added : for example , British range or pre-1950 range .   There are at least five types of distribution patterns :   Scattered/random ( Random placement )  Clustered/grouped ( Most are placed in one area )  Linear ( Their placements form a line )  Radial ( Placements form an ' x ' shape )  Regular/ordered ( They are not random at all , but follow a set placement . Much like a grid )

A landrace is a domesticated , locally adapted , traditional variety of a species of animal or plant that has developed over time , through adaptation to its natural and cultural environment of agriculture and pastoralism , and due to isolation from other populations of the species . Landraces are generally distinguished from cultivars , and from breeds in the standardized sense , although the term landrace breed is sometimes used as distinguished from the term standardized breed when referring to cattle . The - race in this word refers to the taxonomic definition of race in biology , not the ethnographic sense of the word .   Specimens of a landrace tend to be relatively genetically uniform , but are more diverse than members of a standardized or formal breed . Some standardized animal breeds originate from attempts to make landraces more consistent through selective breeding and a landrace may become a more formal breed with the creation of a breed registry and/or publication of a breed standard . In such a case , the landrace may be thought of as a `` stage '' in breed development . However , in other cases , formalizing a landrace may result in the genetic resource of a landrace being lost through crossbreeding . Landraces are distinct from ancestral wild species of modern stock , and from separate species or subspecies derived from the same ancestor as modern domestic stock . Landraces are not all derived from ancient stock largely unmodified by human breeding interests . In a number of cases , most commonly dogs and horses , domestic animals have escaped in sufficient numbers in an area to breed feral populations that , through evolutionary pressure , can form new landraces in only a few centuries . In other cases , simple failure to maintain breeding regimens can do the same . For example , selectively bred cultivars can become new landraces when loosely selective reproduction is applied .   Increasing adoption of and reliance upon modern , purposefully selected plant strains , considered improved -- `` scientifically bred to be uniform and stable '' -- has led to a reduction in biodiversity . The majority of the genetic diversity of domesticated species lies in landraces and other traditionally used varieties , a `` reservoir of genetic resources '' .

Day-age creationism , a type of old Earth creationism , is an interpretation of the creation accounts in Genesis . It holds that the six days referred to in the Genesis account of creation are not ordinary 24-hour days , but are much longer periods ( from thousands to billions of years ) . The Genesis account is then reconciled with the age of the Earth . Proponents of the day-age theory can be found among both theistic evolutionists , who accept the scientific consensus on evolution , and progressive creationists , who reject it . The theories are said to be built on the understanding that the Hebrew word yom is also used to refer to a time period , with a beginning and an end and not necessarily that of a 24-hour day .   The differences between the young Earth interpretation of Genesis and modern scientific theories such as Big Bang , abiogenesis , and common descent are significant . The young Earth interpretation says that everything in the universe and on Earth was created in six 24-hour days , estimated to have occurred some 6,000 years ago . Modern scientific observations , however , put the age of the universe at 13.8 billion years and the Earth at 4.5 billion years , with various forms of life , including humans , being formed gradually over time .   The day-age theory attempts to reconcile these views by believing that the creation `` days '' were not ordinary 24-hour days , but actually lasted for long periods of time ( as day-age implies , the `` days '' each lasted an age ) . According to this view , the sequence and duration of the creation `` days '' may be paralleled to the scientific consensus for the age of the earth and the universe .

A relict is a surviving remnant of a natural phenomenon .   In biology a relict ( or relic ) is an organism that at an earlier time was abundant in a large area but now occurs at only one or a few small areas .  In ecology , an ecosystem which originally ranged over a large expanse , but is now narrowly confined , may be termed a relict .  In geology , the term relict refers to structures or minerals from a parent rock that did not undergo metamorphosis when the surrounding rock did , or to rock that survived a destructive geologic process .  In geomorphology , a relict landform is a landform formed by either erosive or constructive surficial processes that are no longer active as they were in the past .  In agronomy , a relict crop is a crop which was previously grown extensively , but is now only used in one limited region , or a small number of isolated regions .  In history ( as revealed in DNA testing ) , a relict population refers to an ancient people in an area who have been largely supplanted by a later group of migrants and their descendants .  In real estate law , reliction is the gradual recession of water from its usual high-water mark so that the newly uncovered land becomes the property of the adjoining riparian property owner .   Other uses :  In addition , relict was an ancient term still used in colonial ( British ) America and England of that era , now archaic , for a widow . It came to be a generic or collective term for widows and widowers .  In historical linguistics , a relict is a word that is a survivor of a form or forms that are otherwise archaic .

A ratite is any of a diverse group of large , flightless birds of the infraclass Palaeognathae . The systematics involved have been in flux . Some sources state that ratites include all the flightless birds of the Palaeognathae ; previously , all these birds had been assigned to the order Struthioniformes , which is more recently regarded as containing only the ostrich . The modern bird superorder Palaeognathae consists of ratites and flighted Neotropic tinamous ( compare to Neognathae ) . Unlike other flightless birds , the ratites have no keel on their sternum -- hence the name from the Latin ratis ( for raft ) . Without this to anchor their wing muscles , they could not fly even if they were to develop suitable wings . Recent research has indicated that ratites are a paraphyletic group ; tinamous fall within them , and are the sister group of the extinct moa . This implies that flightlessness is a trait that evolved independently multiple times in different ratite lineages .   Most parts of the former supercontinent Gondwana have ratites , or did have until the fairly recent past . So did Europe in the Paleocene and Eocene , from where the first flightless paleognaths are known . Ostriches were present in Asia as recently as the Holocene , although the genus is thought to have originated in Africa . However , the ostrich order may have evolved in Eurasia . A recent study posits a Laurasian origin for the clade .

Lake Tauca is a former lake in the Altiplano of Bolivia . It is also known as Lake Pocoyu for its constituent lakes : Lake Poopó , Salar de Coipasa and Salar de Uyuni . The lake covered large parts of the southern Altiplano between the Eastern Cordillera and the Western Cordillera , covering an estimated 48,000 to of the basins of present-day Lake Poopó and the Salars of Uyuni , Coipasa and adjacent basins . Water levels varied , possibly reaching 3800 m in altitude . The lake was saline . The lake received water from Lake Titicaca , but whether this contributed most of Tauca 's water or only a small amount is controversial ; the quantity was sufficient to influence the local climate and depress the underlying terrain with its weight . Diatoms , plants and animals developed in the lake , sometimes forming reef knolls .   The duration of Lake Tauca 's existence is uncertain . Research in 2011 indicated that the rise in lake levels began 18,500 BP , peaking 16,000 and 14,500 years ago . About 14,200 years ago , lake levels dropped before rising again until 11,500 years ago . Some researchers postulate that the last phase of Lake Tauca may have continued until 8,500 BP . The drying of the lake , which may have occurred because of the Bølling-Allerød climate oscillation , left the salt deposits of Salar de Uyuni .   Lake Tauca is one of several ancient lakes which formed in the Altiplano . Other known lakes are Lake Escara , Ouki , Salinas , Lake Minchin , Inca Huasi and Sajsi , in addition to several water-level rises of Lake Titicaca . The identity of these lakes is controversial ; Sajsi is often considered part of Lake Tauca , and the lake is frequently divided into an earlier ( Ticaña ) and a later ( Coipasa ) phase .   The formation of Lake Tauca depended on a reduction in air temperature over the Altiplano and an increase in precipitation , which may have been caused by shifts in the Intertropical Convergence Zone ( ITCZ ) and increased easterly winds . It was originally supposed that glacial melting might have filled Lake Tauca , but the quantity of water would not have been sufficient to fill the whole lake . The lake was accompanied by glacial advance , noticeable at Cerro Azanaques and Tunupa . Elsewhere in South America , water levels and glaciers also expanded during the Lake Tauca phase .

Reduplication in linguistics is a morphological process in which the root or stem of a word ( or part of it ) or even the whole word is repeated exactly or with a slight change .   Reduplication is used in inflections to convey a grammatical function , such as plurality , intensification , etc. , and in lexical derivation to create new words . It is often used when a speaker adopts a tone more `` expressive '' or figurative than ordinary speech and is also often , but not exclusively , iconic in meaning . Reduplication is found in a wide range of languages and language groups , though its level of linguistic productivity varies .   Reduplication is the standard term for this phenomenon in the linguistics literature . Other terms that are occasionally used include cloning , doubling , duplication , repetition , and tautonym when it is used in biological taxonomies , such as `` Bison bison '' .   The origin of this usage of tautonym is uncertain , but it has been suggested that it is of relatively recent derivation .

Lanternfishes ( or myctophids , from the Greek μυκτήρ myktḗr , `` nose '' and ophis , `` serpent '' ) are small mesopelagic fish of the large family Myctophidae . One of two families in the order Myctophiformes , the Myctophidae are represented by 246 species in 33 genera , and are found in oceans worldwide . They are aptly named after their conspicuous use of bioluminescence . Their sister family , the Neoscopelidae , are much fewer in number but superficially very similar ; at least one neoscopelid shares the common name ` lanternfish ' : the large-scaled lantern fish , Neoscopelus macrolepidotus .   Sampling via deep trawling indicates lanternfish account for as much as 65 % of all deep-sea fish biomass . Indeed , lanternfish are among the most widely distributed , populous , and diverse of all vertebrates , playing an important ecological role as prey for larger organisms . With an estimated global biomass of 550 -- 660 million metric tonnes , several times the entire world fisheries catch , lanternfish also account for much of the biomass responsible for the deep scattering layer of the world 's oceans . In the Southern Ocean , myctophids provide an alternative food resource to krill for predators such as squid and the king penguin . Although plentiful and prolific , currently only a few commercial lanternfish fisheries exist : limited operations off South Africa , in the sub-Antarctic , and in the Gulf of Oman .
