The main characteristics of Darwin's life and work will be examined, as well as the developments which occurred after his death, especially neodarwinism and the synthetic theory of organic change. In which ways the extraordinary progress made in the field…

En este trabajo se analizan los símbolos y representaciones del proceso de gestación entre los tobas de la provincia de Formosa poniendo especial énfasis en sus transformaciones e interrelaciones con las instituciones y representaciones biomédicas. Se considera el simbolismo del…

Se realiza un análisis de la importancia que posee la Zona No - Saturada en el conocimiento de los fenómenos hidrológicos en llanuras, por radicarse en ese ámbito los más significativos en la fase terrestre del ciclo hidrológico (evapotranspiración e…

Se presentan ocho fechados 14C-AMS sobre colágeno de huesos craneanos sin alteración diagenética, provenientes de la cueva de Haichol, Neuquén, que serán discutidos con el propósito de adquirir conocimientos más precisos relativos a cronología, paleodieta, entorno paleoambiental del sitio y…

Tardigrades constitute one of three clades of Xenarthra. Whereas modern tree sloths are common in the Amazonian Basin, their giant ground sloth "kin" were abundant throughout the Americas. During the Miocene, sloths were conspicuous faunal elements in Patagonia, generally considered…

Recent contributions to the knowledge of Gondwanan cynodonts highlight the presence in Africa of taxa previously recognized in South America and vice-versa. This is the case for the Middle Triassic Namibian fauna from the upper Omingonde Formation, where the first…

Talampaya and Tarjados Formations correspond to the initial stage of the Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin filling, and record the oldest post-Permian events in the region. The sequence consists of red beds deposited essentially by ephemeral alluvial and fluvial systems, and overlay…

Lakes are excellent sensors of environmental change, including climate change. Chironomids (Insecta, Diptera) and ostracods (Crustacea) are among the most useful biological indicators for paleoenvironmental reconstruction found in lake sediments, due to their sensitiveness to environmental variables. However, the use…

During the last years the knowledge about derived eusuchian crocodiles has been increased. Anatomical and phylogenetic approaches as well as new fossil records have lighted the evolutive and biogeographic history of several groups. In this way, paleontological research on Miocene-Pliocene…

The glacigenic boulders from the Hirnantian Don Braulio Formation of the Argentine Precordillera contain a well preserved shelly fauna allowing to a better knowledge of brachiopods and bivalves, but gastropods remain undescribed. The purpose of this paper is to give…
