“…However, the orientation of the sulcus forms an angle with the otolith length direction, as in Gnathophis species. The otolith figured as Gnathophis catalinensis (Wade) by Steurbaut (1984), now accepted as a synonym of Gnathophis cinctus (Garman) (Grove and Lavenberg, 1997), also displays the same elongate shape, distinct sulcus-to-otolith length angle as those described here. However, the sulcus is much narrower in G. elongatus, making it distinguishable from G. cinctus.…”

At the crossroads: early Miocene marine fishes of the proto-Mediterranean Sea

Abstract. Connectivity and climate control fish distribution today as well as in the geological past. We present here the Aquitanian (early Miocene) marine fish of the Mesohellenic Basin, a restricted basin at the border between the proto-Mediterranean and Paratethyan seas. Based on fish otoliths, we were able to identify 19 species from 17 genera, including two new species: Ariosoma mesohellenica and Gnathophis elongatus. This fish assemblage, in conjunction with the accompanying molluscan assemblage, indicates a variable shelf paleoenvironment with easy access to the open ocean. Although available data on the Indo-Pacific fishes of the early Miocene are very limited, the fish fauna of the Mesohellenic Basin has many elements in common with the North Sea, the NE Atlantic, and the Paratethys.

“…Relevant too are studies of New Zealand Neogene and Recent fauna demonstrating community continuity through time intervals ranging from Pliocene–Pleistocene/Holocene (Powell, 1937; Fleming, 1952, 1953; Mildenhall, 1994), Miocene–Holocene (Hayward, 1977; Lee, 1978; Gordon et al., 1994) and Oligocene–Holocene (Lee et al., 1983), and a mean species duration of 21 million years for shallow water Foraminifera (Hayward and Grenfell, 1998). Many New Zealand Miocene fossils, including freshwater and marine fishes (Grenfell, 1984; McDowall and Pole, 1997), freshwater crayfish (Feldmann and Pole, 1994), marine crabs (Feldmann, 1998), ferns (Pole, 1992) and seed plants (Pole, 1993; Moore and Wallace, 2000) are identical, similar or closely related to extant species.…”

The New Zealand Alpine Fault is a major tectonic feature located on the mutual boundary of the Australian and Pacific Plates which is hypothesized to have undergone some 470 km of right-lateral displacement. The Nelson and Westland provinces have moved north-east relative to the rest of the South Island. Many plant and animal taxa show a conspicuous distribution gap in the central South Island, and traditionally this has been explained by glacial extirpation of the central populations. However, the gap is usually filled by a closely related taxon. Furthermore, the taxa involved occupy a wide ecological range, and include intertidal algae, shorefishes, lowland trees, and alpine herbs and insects that thrive around glaciers. The Alpine Fault biogeographic hypothesis [Heads, M., 1998a. Biogeographic disjunction along the Alpine Fault, New Zealand. Biol. J. Linn. Soc. 63, 161-176; Heads, M., 1998b. Coprosma decurva (Rubiaceae), a new species from New Zealand. NZ J. Bot. 36, 65-69.], based on track and phylogenetic analyses, proposes that the disjunction has instead been caused by movement on the fault pulling apart plant and animal populations. Wallis and Trewick (2001) [Wallis, G.P., Trewick, S.A., 2001. Finding fault with vicariance: a critique of Heads (1998).Syst. Biol. 50, 602-609.] provided a critique of this idea and pointed out what they felt were nine problems with it. These problems are answered here and shown to result from Wallis and Trewick's misunderstanding of aspects of geology and biology involved in the hypothesis. In particular, they have confused the age of inception of the fault with the age of movement along it, and, by neglecting the related central taxa in the ''gap'', have assumed the biogeographic hypothesis to be an uninformative two-area statement, whereas in fact it is an informative three-or four-area statement.

“…The work of Schwarzhans (1980) on fish otoliths from the New Zealand Tertiary can be considered as the pilot work for palaeontologists in particular and ichthyologists in general. Later, Grenfell (1984) studied lower Miocene teleost otoliths from Parengarenga Harbour, New Zealand from a palaeontological perspective. Schwarzhans and Grenfell (2002) reported on the presence of otoliths of four triplefin fishes from early Nukumaruan sites of Hawkes Bay and Waipukurau.…”
