Spatiotemporal variability in the South American mammalian fossil record and its impact on macroevolutionary inference by Pedro D. de S. Ugarte, João C. S. Nascimento, Mathias M. Pires

“…Despite the limitations of the fossil record, we were still able to identify significant rate shifts throughout the diversification of most South American clades that may be explained by environmental changes. Yet, we also find discrepancies with macroevolutionary patterns inferred from phylogenies, which suggest that some of the patterns we detect with fossils might reflect regional macroevolutionary trends or be driven by lineages with higher preservation. …”

Modeling Possible Cooling-Water Intake System Impacts on Ohio River Fish Populations by Elgin Perry, Greg Seegert, Joe Vondruska, Timothy Lohner, Randy Lewis

“…In 6 of the 22 scenarios of fish species and river pools that were evaluated (6 species × 5 river pools, minus 8 species/river pool combinations that could not be evaluated due to insufficient fish data), the projected fish population change was greater than the expected variability of the existing fish population, indicating a possible adverse environmental impact. Given the number of other variables affecting fish populations and the conservative modeling approach, which assumed 100% mortality for all entrained fish and eggs, it was concluded that the likelihood of impact was by no means assured, even in these six cases. …”
