FIGURE 7 in Palaeoecology and sea level changes: Decline of mammal species richness during late Quaternary island formation in the Montebello Islands, north-western Australia

FIGURE 7. Spindle plot of the relative abundances of the species present in three or more spits in the Morgan's Cave deposit, plus all the species recorded in the Barrow Island owl pellet sample, showing the decrease in abundance of sand plain specialists such as Notomys alexis, and the increase in non-sand plain specialists such as Pseudomys nanus.

FIGURE 9 in Termite nests in eolian backshore settings: An unusual record throughout the Quaternary in the Neotropical realm

FIGURE 9. Features of the casted nests. A. Photomosaic evidencing the hypogean portion of nest D.4; observe that the structure present two main disposition of passages, with concentrated passages very similar to epigeal portion going up to ~70 deep, and elongated passages mostly vertically-oriented with lateral chambers occurring only in deeper part of the structure; horizontally-oriented passages are more common in the middle of the underground portion, with local globous chambers. Dotted lines colored in yellow represent inferred connections, lost during removal of the cast. B. Plan view of the bottom of epigeal portion, with concentrated pattern of passages (central chamber is absent). C. Casted concentrated passages evidencing a random distribution. D. Walls of passages in epigeal portion, showing high concentration of sand lined by organic matter in its interior (this sample was not casted).

FIGURE 2. Termite nests from site A in Termite nests in eolian backshore settings: An unusual record throughout the Quaternary in the Neotropical realm

FIGURE 2. Termite nests from site A. General view of the nests close to the shoreline (a), with sparse vegetation of grasses and ferns around the mounds, and detail of external nest morphology with no open chimneys (b) (nest A.6). The hypogean portion of nest A.10 with bottom passages vertically oriented is shown in (c). The schematic disposition of termite nests in site A allow observing that the closest nest is less than 30 m from shoreline (d), and nest's concentration in the flat areas of foredunes (e), almost 60 m far from shoreline.
