Great American Interchange 
 The land bridge in what is now Panama joined the Neotropic (roughly South America) and Nearctic (roughly North America) ecozones to form the Americas.
Great American Interchange 
 Its most dramatic effect is on the distribution of mammals, but weak-flying or flightless birds, reptiles, amphibians, arthropods and even freshwater fish also migrated.
Great American Interchange 
 The interchange as a concept was first fully laid out in 1876 by the "father of biogeography", Alfred Russel Wallace.
Great American Interchange 
 Others who made significant contributions to understanding the event in the century that followed include Florentino Ameghino and George Gaylord Simpson.
Great American Interchange 
 Similar interchanges occurred earlier in the Cainozoic, when the former Gondwana continents of  India and Africa made contact with Eurasia, about 50 and 30 mya respectively.
Great American Interchange 
 When the global continent Pangaea broke up early in the Jurassic period, the great southern supercontinent  Gondwana was formed.
Great American Interchange 
 The last connection of South America with any part of Gondwana was a link with West Antarctica, which broke in the Oligocene, only 30 mya.
Great American Interchange 
 When Gondwana was separated from Laurasia, evolution of most animals and plants went on separately in the two great supercontinents.
Great American Interchange 
 This is not obvious in Africa and India, since they moved north and joined the Eurasian continent long ago.
Great American Interchange 
 Thus, when South America was completely separated, it had only the earlier types of mammals, including some early eutherians such as the Xenarthra.
Great American Interchange 
 The groups which evolved later, and which dominate the northern continents, only got to South America by the Great American Interchange.
Great American Interchange 
 After the late Mesozoic breakup of Gondwana, South America spent most of the Cainozoic era as an island continent.
Great American Interchange 
 Its "splendid isolation" allowed the fauna to evolve into many forms found nowhere else on earth, most of which are now extinct.
Great American Interchange 
 The endemic mammals initially consisted of metatherians (including marsupials, xenarthrans, and a diverse group of South American ungulates.
Great American Interchange 
 Marsupials appear to have travelled from South America through Antarctica to Australasia in the late Cretaceous or early Tertiary.
Great American Interchange 
 Ratites (relatives of South American tinamous) probably migrated by this route about the same time, in the direction from South America towards Australia/New Zealand.
Great American Interchange 
 Other taxa that may have dispersed by the same route (if not by flying or rafting) are parrots, chelid turtles and (extinct) meiolaniid turtles.
Great American Interchange 
 One living South American marsupial, the tiny Monito del Monte, is more closely related to Australian marsupials than to other South American marsupials.
Great American Interchange 
 Since it is the most 'basal' (= primitive) australidelphian we know, its group probably evolved in South America and then colonized Australia.
Great American Interchange 
 Marsupials in South America included didelphimorphs (opossums), shrew opossums and several other small groups.
Great American Interchange 
 Their relative inefficiency left opportunites for nonmammalian predators to be more prominent than usual (similar to the situation in Australia).
Great American Interchange 
 Sparassodonts shared the ecological niches for large predators with fearsome flightless "terror birds" (phorusrhacids), whose closest extant (living) relatives are the seriemas.
Great American Interchange 
 Through the skies over late Miocene South America (6 Ma ago) soared the largest flying bird known, the teratorn Argentavis, with a wingspan of 6 m or more, which may have lived in part on the leftovers of Thylacosmilus kills.
Great American Interchange 
 Xenarthrans are a curious group of mammals that developed morphological adaptations for specialized diets very early in their history.
Great American Interchange 
 In addition to those extant today (armadillos, anteaters and tree sloths), a great diversity of larger types were present, including pampatheres, the ankylosaur-like glyptodonts, various ground sloths, some of which reached the size of elephants (e.g. Megatherium), and even semiaquatic sloths.
Great American Interchange 
 Both groups started evolving in the Lower Paleocene, possibly from condylarth stock, diversified, dwindled before the great interchange, and went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene.
Great American Interchange 
 The pyrotheres and astrapotheres were also strange but were less diverse and disappeared earlier, well before the interchange.
Great American Interchange 
 Once the continents were joined, invasions from the north to the south were numerous and significant in their effect.
Great American Interchange 
 Wetland tropical species going north encountered desert or, at any rate, dry conditions in Mexico, where the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, also known as the Sierra Nevada (Mexico) or the Snowy Mountain Range, extends 900  km from west to east across central-southern Mexico.
Great American Interchange 
 However, by far the most common theory is that North American fauna were 'topped up' from time to time whenever Eurasian species could get over the Bering Strait.
Great American Interchange 
 This applies with force to mammals, because the eutherian mammals originated in Asia and had undergone a great deal of evolution before they got to South America.
Great American Interchange 
 The borhyaenids and Thylacosmilus (the 'marsupial' sabretooth) were not marsupials; they were the related group, the sparassodonts.
Great American Interchange 
 All these native forms were wiped out as short-faced bears, wolves, nine species of small cats, cougars, jaguars, lions, sabretooths (Smilodon and Homotherium) established themselves.
Great American Interchange 
 They are the only surviving marsupial in North America, though there were others before mankind arrived in the Americas.
Great American Interchange 
 The top native South American mammal success for a long time was the superorder Xenarthra, which had two different groups with large representatives in North America.
Great American Interchange 
 The ability of South America's xenarthrans to compete effectively against the northerners represents a special case.
Great American Interchange 
 Such a strategy may have been forced on them by their low metabolic rate (the lowest among the therians).
Great American Interchange 
 Their low metabolic rate in turn allowed them to subsist on less abundant and/or less nutritious food sources.
Great American Interchange 
 Unfortunately, the defensive adaptations of the large xenarthrans would have been useless against humans armed with spears and other projectiles.
Eomaia 
 Although the fossil's skull is squashed flat, its teeth, tiny foot bones, cartilages and even its fur are visible.
Eomaia 
 The eutherians are the placental mammals plus some extinct mammals which had not developed a placenta.
Eomaia 
 What distinguishes the Eutheria from metatherians, a group that includes modern marsupials, are various features of the feet, jaws and teeth.
Eomaia 
 However Eomaia is not a true placental mammal as it lacks some features that are specific to placentals.
Eomaia 
 a wide opening at the bottom of the pelvis, which allows the birth of large, well-developed offspring.
Eomaia 
 Marsupials have and non-placental eutherians had a narrower opening that allows only small, immature offspring to pass through.
Eomaia 
 These are not found in any placental mammal, but are found in all other mammals, even in the cynodont therapsids that are closest to mammals.
Eomaia 
 Its discoverers sampled 268 characters from all major Mesozoic mammal clades and principal eutherian families of the Cretaceous period.
Eomaia 
 As a result, they claimed Eomaia is at the root of the eutherian "family tree" with a few other fossils.
Eomaia 
 However this is not the earliest clear evidence of hair in the mammalian lineage, as fossils of the docodont Castorocauda, discovered in rocks dated to about 164 mya, also have traces of fur.

Stolen base 
 In baseball, a stolen base is when a baserunner advances to the next base while the pitcher is throwing the ball to home plate.
Stolen base 
 If the defense does not try to put the baserunner out (for example, if the catcher does not even look his way), the play is called defensive indifference (also called fielder's indifference).
Stolen base 
 Defensive indifference is usually only scored instead of a stolen base when the game is in a late inning and the team with the stealing baserunner is down by more than one run.
Stolen base 
 A player who is good at stealing bases needs not just running speed, but also good base-running instincts, quickness, and split-second timing.
Stolen base 
 The scoring and guidelines for awarding a stolen base to a runner are covered by rule 10.07 of the Major League Baseball rule book.
Stolen base 
 If a player is good at stealing bases, his manager may let him try to steal a base whenever he thinks he can.
Stolen base 
 Players who do not have the green light may only be allowed to steal when a coach or manager tells him to.
