TL;DR: Evidence to date suggests that amphibian declines will have large-scale and lasting ecosystem-level effects, including changes in algal composition, which will likely be greatest in neotropical highland streams.
Abstract: Amphibians can be important consumers in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats and may represent an important energetic link between the two, particularly in the tropics, where amphibian species richness and abundance are high. In the past 20 years, amphibian populations have declined dramatically around the world; numbers have decreased catastrophically in protected upland sites throughout the neotropics, usually resulting in the disappearance of over 75% of amphibians at a given site, particularly those species that breed in streams. Most studies of amphibian declines have focused on identifying causes and documenting changes in adult abundance, rather than on their ecological consequences. Here, we review evidence for the potential ecological effects of catastrophic amphibian declines, focusing on neotropical highland streams, where impacts will likely be greatest. Evidence to date suggests that amphibian declines will have large-scale and lasting ecosystem-level effects, including changes in algal com...

TL;DR: In the International Sexuality Description Project, a total of 17,804 participants from 62 cultural regions completed the RelationshipQuestionnaire (RQ), a self-report measure of adult romantic attachment as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: As part of the International Sexuality Description Project, a total of 17,804 participants from 62 cultural regions completedthe RelationshipQuestionnaire(RQ), a self-reportmeasure of adult romanticattachment. Correlational analyses within each culture suggested that the Model of Self and the Model of Other scales of the RQ were psychometrically valid within most cultures. Contrary to expectations, the Model of Self and Model of Other dimensions of the RQ did not underlie the four-category model of attachment in the same way across all cultures. Analyses of specific attachment styles revealed that secure romantic attachment was normative in 79% of cultures and that preoccupied romantic attachment was particularly prevalent in East Asian cultures. Finally, the romantic attachment profiles of individual nations were correlated with sociocultural indicators in ways that supported evolutionary theories of romantic attachment and basic human mating strategies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the results of a search for neutrino interactions inside IceCube's instrumented volume between 1 TeV and 1 PeV in 641 days of data taken from 2010-2012, and showed that neutrinos from the southern sky below 10 TeV for the first time, far below the threshold of the previous high-energy analysis.
Abstract: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory was designed primarily to search for high-energy (TeV-PeV) neutLrinos produced in distant astrophysical objects. A search for. greater than or similar to 100 TeV neutrinos interacting inside the instrumented volume has recently provided evidence for an isotropic flux of such neutrinos. At lower energies, IceCube collects large numbers of neutrinos from the weak decays of mesons in cosmic-ray air showers. Here we present the results of a search for neutrino interactions inside IceCube's instrumented volume between 1 TeV and 1 PeV in 641 days of data taken from 2010-2012, lowering the energy threshold for neutrinos from the southern sky below 10 TeV for the first time, far below the threshold of the previous high-energy analysis. Astrophysical neutrinos remain the dominant component in the southern sky down to a deposited energy of 10 TeV. From these data we derive new constraints on the diffuse astrophysical neutrino spectrum, Phi(v) = 2.06(-0.3)(+0.4) x 10(-18) (E-v = 10(5) GeV)-2.46 +/- 0.12GeV-1 cm(-2) sr(-1) s(-1) for 25 TeV < E-v < 1.4 PeV, as well as the strongest upper limit yet on the flux of neutrinos from charmed-meson decay in the atmosphere, 1.52 times the benchmark theoretical prediction used in previous IceCube results at 90% confidence.

TL;DR: In this article, the late Precambrian-early Paleozoic Appalachian-Ouachita continental margin of south-eastern North America is framed by a northeaststriking rift system offset by northwest-striking transform faults.
Abstract: Promontories and embayments along the late Precambrian-early Paleozoic Appalachian-Ouachita continental margin of south-eastern North America are framed by a northeast-striking rift system offset by northwest-striking transform faults. Inboard from the continental margin, basement fault systems have two sets of orientation; one is northeast parallel with rift segments, and the other is northwest parallel with transform faults. Late Precambrian clastic and volcanic syn-rift rocks overlie Precambrian basement rocks along the Appalachian Blue Ridge. Lower Cambrian sandstone at the base of a transgressive passive-margin succession over-steps the rift-fill successions and basement rocks, defining the time of transition from an active rift to a passive margin along the Blue Ridge. Locally thick Early Late Cambrian and older sedimentary rocks fill downthrown blocks of the intracratonic Mississippi Valley-Rough Creek-Rome graben system and Birmingham basement fault system. These basement fault systems, which indicate north-west-southeast extension like the Blue Ridge rift, are overstepped by Upper Cambrian strata. The northwest-striking Southern Oklahoma fault system is interpreted to be a transform fault that propagated into the continent from the Ouachita rift. Early and Middle Cambrian rift-related igneous rocks along the fault system and adjacent Precambrian basement are overstepped by Upper Cambrian sandstone. The differences in age of rift-related rocks suggest a spreading-center shift at the beginning of the Cambrian Period from the Blue Ridge rift to the Ouachita rift southwest of the Alabama-Oklahoma transform fault. From Early to Early Late Cambrian, a small component of extension propagates north-eastward to form the intracratonic fault systems northeast of the transform fault, but most of the extension of the Ouachita rift was transformed along the Alabama-Oklahoma transform fault to the Mid-Iapetus Ridge outboard from the Blue Ridge passive margin.
