Historical data on the Azores breeding Puffinus species is reviewed through the analysis of historical chronicles from the 16th and 17th century. The seabird populations of the Azores suffered dramatic declines following the colonisation of the islands mainly due to habitat destruction, the introduction of predators and direct human exploitation. Inventories of all the seabirds populations became available only...
The variation in degrees of interdigitation (complexity) in cranial sutures among species of Caiman in different skull regions was studied by fractal analysis. Our findings show that there is a small species effect in the fractal dimension of cranial sutures, but most variation is accounted for by regional differentiation within the skull. There is also a significant interaction between species and cranial regi...
