one of the most intriguing patterns in mammalian biogeography is the “island rule” , which states that colonising species have a tendency to converge in body size , with larger species evolving decreased sizes and smaller species increased sizes . it has recently been suggested that an analogous pattern holds for the colonisation of the deep - sea benthos by marine gastropoda . in particular , a pioneering study showed that gastropods from the western atlantic showed the same graded trend from dwarfism to gigantism that is evident in island endemic mammals . however , subsequent to the publication of the gastropod study , the standard tests of the island rule have been shown to yield false positives at a very high rate , leaving the result open to doubt .
the evolution of gastropod body size in the deep sea is reexamined . using an extended and updated data set , and improved statistical methods , it is shown that some results of the previous study may have been artifactual , but that its central conclusion is robust . it is further shown that the effect is not restricted to a single gastropod clade , that its strength increases markedly with depth , but that it applies even in the mesopelagic zone .
the replication of the island rule in a distant taxonomic group and a partially analogous ecological situation could help to uncover the causes of the patterns observed—which are currently much disputed . the gastropod pattern is evident at intermediate depths , and so cannot be attributed to the unique features of abyssal ecology .

the island rule states that after island colonisation , animals undergo predictable patterns of body size evolution , with larger colonising species becoming smaller , and smaller species becoming larger . the result is a graded trend from dwarfism in the largest colonists to gigantism in the smallest [ 1 ] – [ 4 ] . because insular habitats are distinctive in a number of ways , this pattern might be variously explained , and a variety of hypotheses have indeed been proposed in the literature [ 1 ] – [ 11 ] . recently , mcclain et al . [ 12 ] made an important advance by testing for analogous patterns of body size evolution in a non - insular system . specifically , they compared body sizes of animals living in deep - sea benthic habitats with their shallow - water living congeners . using the malacolog database version 3 . 3 . 3 of rosenberg [ 13 ] , mcclain et al . [ 12 ] took the gastropods of the western atlantic as a case study , and reported that a highly significant trend from dwarfism to gigantism was evident in the deep - sea species .
here , i re - examine whether deep - sea gastropods manifest the island rule , making use of the improved statistical methods , and data collated from the recently updated malacolog database [ 24 ] , which has been both expanded , and revised to reflect advances in gastropod systematics [ 25 ] . it is found that the central conclusion of mcclain et al . [ 12 ] is robust , and that gastropod colonists of the deep - sea benthos do indeed exhibit island - rule - like evolution .
part a shows how different tests of the ‘island rule’ can give qualitatively different results . “deep - sea” species were defined as those with a depth range midpoint > 200m , and all other species defined as “shallow - water” . the ordinary - least - squares regression ( dashed line ) differs significantly from the 1∶1 line of the null ( dotted line ) , but the standardized - major - axis regression ( solid line ) shows no significant departure . part b shows a less ambiguous case : “deep - sea” species are those never observed above 400m , and “shallow - water” species those never observed below 200m ; body sizes are within - genus means , taking equal numbers of deep - and shallow - water species in each genus .
the body sizes of deep - sea gastropods are plotted against those of their shallow - water congeners . “shallow - water” species were never observed below 200m , and “deep - sea” species never observed above depths of a : 200m , b : 400m and c : 600m . separate standardized - major - axis regression lines are shown for the neogastropoda ( black points ) and all other groups ( grey points ) . the dotted line is the 1∶1 expected under the null . genera with fewer than two deep and two shallow species were excluded .
since the pattern was first identified [ 1 ] – [ 3 ] the island rule has been explained in a large number of ways [ 1 ] – [ 11 ] . a powerful method of distinguishing between the competing explanations is to test for the presence of analogous patterns in systems that share some , but not all of the ecological characteristics of island habitats [ 4 ] , [ 12 ] , [ 34 ] . for example , one putative contributor to the vertebrate pattern is “immigrant selection” , that is , between - lineage differences in the probability of reaching isolated islands , as opposed to differences in survival after colonisation [ 4 ] , [ 35 ] , [ 36 ] . the colonization of the deep - sea benthos differs clearly and qualitatively from the colonization of islands , and so if it is assumed that the similar patterns of body size evolution reflect a similarity of underlying cause [ 12 ] , this argues against immigrant selection as a key determinant of the graded trend that is observed in both cases .
similarly , predator release is a particularly plausible explanation of the vertebrate island rule [ 1 ] , [ 4 ] , [ 6 ] , [ 11 ] ; this is partly because it can naturally account for both dwarfism and gigantism ( by assuming that large and small body sizes evolve as alternative strategies for predator avoidance ) , and partly because predator release is so clearly implicated in other unusual characteristics of island endemics ( such as tameness ) [ 37 ] , [ 38 ] . but there is little evidence that reduced predation characterises the deep - sea [ 12 ] , [ 14 ] , and indeed there is direct evidence of substantial predation acting on deep - sea gastropods [ 12 ] , [ 39 ] – [ 41 ] . the gastropod results therefore argue against the predator release hypothesis as a general explanation of the island rule [ 12 ] .
we are therefore still far from understanding the causes of the patterns observed – and particularly the roles of inter - and intra - specific competition [ 3 ] , [ 4 ] , [ 11 ] , [ 12 ] . a detailed clarification of where the pattern does and does not hold will be an important step toward achieving this goal [ 4 ] , [ 12 ] , [ 19 ] , [ 20 ] .

following simpson ( 1931 ) , the term
tenrecoid
has also been widely misused as a general name for a vaguely defined grouping of ( extinct and extant ) taxa characterized by zalambdodonty , even though it has become clear that some of these were not technically zalambdodont , and that zalambdodonty may have arisen independently several times ( e . g . broom , 1916 ) . this further militates against its stricter nomenclatorial use , even at taxonomic ranks below order .
the supraordinal affiliation of the afrosoricida remains controversial . molecular data strongly support an affinity within the afrotheria , whereas morphological data suggest a closer relationship to lipotyphlans . lipotyphlan monophyly , however , is only weakly supported by cladistic analyses of morphological data ( asher , 1999 ) and phylogenetic analyses of combined anatomical and molecular data strongly support the inclusion of afrosoricids within afrotheria ( asher et al . , 2003 ) .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
known from only a partial specimen collected at the type locality , giohar ( villagio duca degli abruzzi ) in southern somalia in 1964 , with no subsequent records thereof ( though this may reflect a lack of sampling ) . further research is needed to clarify its systematic and conservation status . the species is therefore assessed as data deficient .
this species is known from a single specimen ( partial owl pellet remains ) collected from the type locality at giohar , somalia .
the area where it was collected has dense bushland and savanna of the somali peninsula ( agnelli et al . 1988 ) . also referred to as somalia - masai acacia - commiphora deciduous bushland and thicket .
research is needed to ascertain the generic affinities and systematic status of this species , and to document its distributional limits . there is a lack of knowledge regarding most aspects of its biology , ecology and life history strategy .
to make use of this information , please check the < terms of use > .
a widespread species in a region that tolerates mild habitat alteration and is not heavily impacted by human activities , so the presumably large global population is unlikely to be in decline . least concern is justified also by its occurrence in many provincial , national and transfrontier protected areas in south africa , zimbabwe and mozambique .
locally common in suitable sandy habitats on the coastal plains of mozambique and northern kwazulu natal ( south africa ) .
there are no known major threats . minor threats may arise from rural and urban development , which include housing and associated roads infrastructure . agriculture and commercial forestry operations no doubt contributes to degradation , fragmentation and loss of its natural soil habitat . however , these are localized threats .

insufficient data are available on the limits of the geographic distribution of this species and its subspecies , the systematic and ecological status of known subpopulations and the threats faced by these subpopulations . data deficient status is warranted , as more research is needed to clarify its conservation status .
the largest portion of its distributional range in west africa ( cameroon , republic of congo and central african republic ) fall within moist montane rainforests with extension into peripheral forest - savanna mosaics where they prefer soft sandy loam soil . outlying records from central africa were collected from soft loamy soil in moist and dry lowland equatorial forests and forest - savanna mosaics southwestern democratic republic of the congo and northern angola . signs of activity also observed in pastoral and cultivated lands as well as rural and urban gardens ( bronner 2013 , prince kaleme pers . comm . ) . seemingly no information is available on the general biology , life history and ecology of this species ( bronner 2013 ) .

quiff ( foaled 2 march 2001 ) is a british thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare .

bred and owned by khalid abdulla and trained by michael stoute , she was lightly campaigned and ran only six times in three seasons .

after finishing fifth on her only appearance as a two-year-old she won on her debut at three in 2004 and then appeared unlucky when beaten in the ribblesdale stakes .

she then recorded her biggest success when winning the group one yorkshire oaks by eleven lengths .

on her fourth and final race as a three-year-old she was narrowly beaten in the st leger stakes .

her performances led to her being rated the best filly of her generation in the world over staying distances .

after running poorly on her only start in 2005 she was retired from racing and has had some success as a broodmare .

quiff ( horse )

quiff ' s trainer sir michael stoute has yet to win the doncaster classic , and he also had the fourth - placed horse maraahel .
the horse , ridden by kerrin mcevoy and trained by saeed bin suroor , took up the running after three furlongs and held off fellow joint favourite quiff at the finish .

however , quiff could not find a clear path through and fallon was forced to switch , losing valuable momentum as rule of law streaked ahead .
and his hair seemed fashioned into a quiff this time , potentially making a style adjustment after last week ' s running commentary from the tweeters .
excited viewers took to twitter to show their appreciation for the hunk with chiselled cheekbones and a perfect quiff , and soon the mystery man began trending .
a mid - season break allowed trainer elie lellouche worked the oracle for the danehill horse and he rounded off the season with three successive victories .

lord derby ` s brilliant dual oaks and breeders ` cup filly & mare turf winner ouija board was named horse of the year at the 2004 cartier racing awards , which were presented at the four seasons hotel in london ` s west end on the evening of wednesday , november 17 . ( please note the embargo )
in the st leger at doncaster on 11 september , rule of law started 3 / 1 joint favourite alongside the michael stoute - trained filly quiff , the winner of the yorkshire oaks . he was the godolphin team ' s sole representative and had been strongly fancied after working impressively in training . [ 9 ] mcevoy sent rule of law into the lead from the start and set a moderate pace before sending him into a clear lead in the straight . in the closing stages he was strongly challenged by quiff , but ran on
gamely
[ 10 ] to win by a head in what the bbc described as a
thrilling finish
. [ 11 ]
with all nine runners reluctant to force the early pace , it was mcevoy who grabbed the race by the scruff of the neck and took up the running after about three furlongs . the australian jockey gradually increased the tempo in the home straight and was never passed , though strongly pressed by the filly quiff who was only a head down at the line .
“that is the hardest thing for people outside racing to understand . they are not machines and you can’t just change the tyres , fill up the oil , or whatever . when a horse is on form it always looks like smooth clockwork , but getting them to the races and in the best shape of mind is not an easy thing to do . ”
seek again has run well in all three of his starts this year at 4 for trainer bill mott , running a superlatively game second to two - time horse of the year wise dan in the grade 1 woodford reserve turf classic , falling short by a head , and finishing third behind real solution and kaigun in the grade 1 manhattan before his fourstardave victory .
no horse in europe this season has made a greater impression than kingman . and when the john gosden - trained 3 - year - old miler , winner of the g1 st james’s palace stakes at royal ascot last month , lines up in wednesday ' s g1 sussex stakes at goodwood , he is favourite to add another momentous chapter to the khalid abdullah story .
fallon said of quiff :
she has run a terrific race . i thought we were going to get there , but there had been no pace and the winner pulled out a little bit more when we got to him . the ground didn ' t really suit her . it ' s a pity we didn ' t have the rain - things might have been different .
bago , also a contender for horse of the year another niarchos family homebred , was honored as 3 - year - old colt . the colt trained by jonathan peace posted group i victories in the prix de l ' arc de triomphe at longchamp , the prix jean prat at chantilly and the grand prix de paris at longchamp . he is also set to race in 2005 .
in the middle section of the commercial market , the one that catches the eye is bated breath . from a solid sample of yearlings that went through the sales ring , his numbers read very well . just as significantly given that he represents the powerful owner / breeders juddmonte , it is worth noting that they have retained 19 of his 2 - year - olds . these include a half - sister to kingman that will be trained by john gosden , a half - brother to twice over , a half - sister to quiff , a daughter of quiff , a half - brother to main aim and a half - sister to reefscape . he has the profile , the weight of numbers and the quality of mare behind him to give him every chance to make a serious impact with his first runners .

sir michael stoute is seeking to saddle the winner of the yorkshire oaks for a remarkable tenth time , although he has been out of luck in the race since quiff registered his ninth success in 2004 . he relies on queen’s trust , who won the grade 1 breeders ' cup filly & mare turf at santa anita last year after finishing third in the yorkshire oaks , and abingdon , a three - time listed race winner .
lord derby ' s v05 breeders ' cup filly & mare turf ( gr . it ) winner ouija board was named horse of the year at the 2004 cartier racing awards during a ceremony wednesday night at the four seasons hotel in london , england . two kentucky - breds - - 2 - year - old male colt shamardal and 2 - year - old filly divine proportions - - received cartier awards for their respective divisions
a beautifully balanced , lengthy bay horse with a good shoulder and a straight , strong hind leg , safler ' s wells stood 16 hands . he was a fluent mover despite habitually racing with his head carried high . he possessed tactical speed , a fine turn of foot , and great tenacity . he was slightly light on bone and could be faulted for long pasterns , traits which he has often passed to his stock .
a delighted mcevoy added :
i didn ' t really want to go on , but there wasn ' t much pace so i was able to dictate it . i increased the pace from three furlongs out and i could hear kieren ' s horse coming . i was just hoping the post would come in time .
asked to compare the victory with winning the melbourne cup , he went on :
it ' s right up there .

bago , another of the contenders for the cartier horse of the year award , was rewarded for a fabulous year that included group one wins in the prix de l ` arc de triomphe at longchamp , the prix jean prat at chantilly and the grand prix de paris at longchamp by landing the cartier three - year - old colt award . trained by jonathan pease at chantilly and owned by the niarchos family , the three - year - old nashwan colt is also set to race next year .
another proven producer is juddmonte’s posteritas ( lear fan ) ( lot 1810 ) who , as well as being a listed winner herself , is the dam of g1 prix jean prat winner mutual trust ( gb ) ( cacique { gb } ) among her five black - type performers . selling in foal to kingman ( gb ) , posteritas is one of 58 fillies or mares in the juddmonte consignment , which also includes g1 yorkshire oaks winner quiff ( gb ) ( sadler’s wells ) , who is lot 1734 and is in foal to holy roman emperor ( ire ) .
frankel received yet another boost to his glowing page when his full - brother noble mission ( gb ) ( galileo { ire } ) garnered three group 1 events in 2014 , culminating in the g1 champion s . oct . 18 , and that juddmonte homebred recently arrived at lane’s end farm in kentucky , where he will take up stud duty in 2015 . lord grimthorpe shed some light on the decision to stand the 5 - year - old in the u . s . , explaining , “we looked at various options for him . lane’s end came up with a very good solution for all of us , including the horse . ”
what this figure should be is a subject that could be debated all night , as there is obviously a great variety in costs based on individual circumstances ranging from the breeder that keeps the horse on their own land at minimum expense right up to the owner that boards his horses from birth at high - profile farms at much greater expense . the figure i have decided to use to best reflect an industry - wide average is 6 , 000gns . adding this amount into the equation on top of the nomination fee certainly levels up the playing field and indeed swings the statistical balance back in favour of sires that stood at higher fees .
seek again’s third dam , donut’s bunnie , was bred by the late verne h . winchell , whose son , ron , campaigns the prominent 3 - year - olds untapable and tapiture this year , and was purchased by belair after her racing career . winchell built his first fortune through a chain of doughnut shops in california , earning the sobriquet the “donut king , ” a name he passed on to the first horse he bought at public auction . one of the best horses sired by the 1954 kentucky derby winner determine , donut king won the 1961 champagne stakes and ran second in the garden state stakes and hawthorne gold cup , all grade 1 - caliber events at the time .

[ 1 ] bay horse , was bred in the united states by robert sangster . he is one of many notable thoroughbred racehorses [ 2 ] sired by kingmambo , a son of mr . prospector . his dam , crystal crossing , as a descendant of the successful racehorse and broodmare violetta , was closely related to the derby winner teenoso . [ 3 ] before the start of his racing career , rule of law was acquired by sheikh mohammed who sent him into training with david loder at newmarket , suffolk . for the 2004 season , the colt was transferred to the godolphin racing organisation and was trained by saeed bin suroor .
juddmonte stands seven sires at its banstead manor stud in newmarket , a number that appears small compared to some of the bloodstock business’s other superpowers , but that septet oozes quality all the way through , its established flagbearers including dansili and oasis dream . the first weanlings to hit european sales rings by frankel at recent foal sales included the €1 . 8 million record - sitting filly out of finsceal beo ( ire ) at goffs , and another juddmonte freshman , bated breath ( gb ) , has had his first foals sell for up to $ 107 , 000 in recent weeks . juddmonte will unveil another heavyweight next year when four - time group 1 winner and cartier horse of the year kingman ( gb ) ( invincible spirit { ire } ) covers his first book .

the 3 - 1 joint favourites were followed home by the strong - finishing tycoon , who was a length and half away in third .
there are no plans for him this year , but he will be kept in training , when i think he ' ll drop back to middle distances .
darryll holland said of tycoon :
he travelled really well but i could have done with a faster pace and i was just not quite getting there . but he has run a good race .
the other pattern race on the card , the group two polypipe flying childers over five furlongs , was won impressively by chateau istana . the nick littmoden - trained colt , who showed a smart turn of foot to beat tournedos by two lengths , was a royal ascot winner in june before flopping when tried over an extra furlong at newmarket .
you can write off his last run as he had an infection a few days afterwards .
also ran : 9 - 2 let the lion roar , 8 maraahel ( 4th ) , 12 go for gold , 16 frank sonata , 25 mikado ( 5th ) , 33 darsalam ( 6th ) .

tycoon , a 9 - 1 shot ridden by darryll holland , came in third .
mcevoy became the first australian since 1969 to win racing ' s last classic of the season .
this is his first season racing in europe and the win came just six days after he landed his first group one victory in europe on warsaan in germany .
this is right up there with my melbourne cup win . what a way to cap my first season here , to win a classic in what ' s a foreign country to me ,
mcevoy said .
rule of law was smartly out of the stalls and was soon disputing it up front with mikado as the nine runners set out at a slow pace .
as mcevoy slowly wound up the pace from the front , the field became strung out .
the filly collected herself well but she just could not find enough extra while tycoon , who had hunted round at the back of the pack , accelerated through the fading runners to claim third .
trained by ed dunlop won the vodafone oaks ( eng - i ) at epsom and the darley irish oaks ( ire - i ) at the curragh . previous to shipping to lone star park for her breeders ' cup triumph , ouija board finished third in the prix de l ' arc de triomphe ( fr - i ) at longchamp .
, shamardal was sold as a yearling for 50 , 000 guineas and was undefeated in three races as a juvenile . included in his victories were the veuve clicquot vintage ( eng - ii ) , in which he defeated eventual bessemer trust breeders ' cup juvenile ( gr . i ) winner wilko , and the darley dewhurts stakes ( eng - i ) .
out of myth to reality , divine proportions is a homebred racing for the niarchos family under trainer pascal bary . undefeated in five starts , divine proportions won two french group i races - - prix morny at deauville and the prix marcel boussac at longchamp – as well as the prix robert papin ( f - ii ) and prix du bois ( fr - iii ) .
somnus , trained by tim easterby , won the cartier sprinter award , with his french group i successes including the prix maurice de gheest at deauville . he is a 4 - year - old pivotal gelding .
award of merit for the person or persons who , in the opinion of a 21 - member cartier jury , have done most for european racing and / or breeding either over their lifetime or within the past 12 months goes to david and patricia thompson , owners of the cheveley park stud in newmarket .

i have always found it puzzling and annoying that people take this gurning , cabaret singing twerp seriously . 14 year old girls , i can understand why , but when the ' indie ' crowd began to think he was cool , i thought the world had gone mad . his new song is ' s * * t ' , almost as bad as the girls aloud new single . they don ' t even try these days do they ? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and we are nothing but experience in the eyes of nature , and we will live forever in the eyes of nature .
and when you start to think about death , you start to think about what ' s after it . and then you start hoping there is a god . for me , it ' s a frightening thought to go nowhere

mr blast , its not even that good oasis fell under his spell for a while too , thats when they lost the plot . he ' s a pox on talent . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and we are nothing but experience in the eyes of nature , and we will live forever in the eyes of nature .
no , a thousand times no . he ' s the 90s version of donny osmond or a bay city roller . ok , some of his early songs had quality but were just plain slushy pop . the housewife ' s choice _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and we are nothing but experience in the eyes of nature , and we will live forever in the eyes of nature .

lots of eggs are broken but no omelette yet ! the rollers were of their time , and were mainly taken seriously by young girls . most pop music these days is made to appeal to little girls . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and we are nothing but experience in the eyes of nature , and we will live forever in the eyes of nature .
that sounds quite good actually . he ' s hateable for , amongst other things , the most smug looking album cover in the world evah , on ' i ' ve been expecting you ' . i know its ' meant ' to look smug but , sheeesh , yuk . also he ' s a port vale fan that owns an executive box at stamford bridge ffs . . . . off with his head ! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ i never saw you again
i read your post not having heard the song yet . i saw it had been on , but switched the channel quick . but after reading this , and next time i saw it was on , i forced myself to watch it . and indeed , i agree with you . still not liking the song or the artist really though . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ urltoken
