![]() ![]() Some of these insects were larger than their cousins today. ![]() ![]() Mathewes in 2000 determined that in the early Eocene, several different species of insects existed: bees, ants, March flies, dip-lopterine cockroaches, dinidorid bugs, and seed weevils. A study in British Columbia, Canada, conducted by S. Pack rat midden studies in North American deserts, especially in caves and rock shelters of the arid interior, are currently under investigation by several universities as valuable proxies by which to study climate change and global warming.įossilized insect remains are also used as paleoclimatic proxies. Today, however, with global warming, climate change is happening much faster than it has in the past some species may not be able to adapt quickly enough and may face extinction. One thing they caution is that these natural adaptations took place due to the climate over long periods of time. Through past glacial and interglacial episodes, they were able to detect adaptations in certain species, such as voles. One of the interesting conclusions they made is that of species evolution and adaptation. A major climate change that took place 800,000 years ago was identified. In their studies, they have analyzed environmental conditions of the area over a large span of time and have identified evidence of climate changes, such as glacial and interglacial events. So, climate changes like the global warming we are seeing today are probably happening too fast to cause anything but extinction." It takes a long time for a species to change, and even the major climatic change 800,000 years ago wasn't dramatic enough to cause the origin of a new species."īased on his studies, Barnosky concludes, "It's likely that specia-tion takes place over a longer time interval than extinction. Our study suggests that species adapt to handle routine climate change, and only something out of the ordinary initiates significant evolutionary change. This is the first study where we've actually taken a living species and looked back almost a million years at the population level to see how it changes through time. According to Tony Barnosky, "Everything in the cave has been nicely preserved at a controlled temperature and humidity, like putting the stuff in a refrigerator for 750,000 years. ![]() Due to the arid cave's controlled temperature and humidity, the specimens were well preserved. Spaulding, photographer)Īn associate professor of geology at the University of Texas at Austin- discovered a pack rat collection of teeth and bones that dates back to between 600,000 and 1 million years ago. (NOAA Paleoclimatology Paleo Slide Set W.G. It was not until the 1960s that paleoecologists realized that middens could be used as a tool to reconstruct past climatic conditions. (NOAA Paleoclimatology Paleo Slide Set Ken Cole, USGS, photographer) Paul Martin of the University of Arizona is examining a pack rat midden. The plant remains and other debris become cemented into large masses of crystallized urine that can survive for tens of thousands of years and be used as climate proxies. They gather plant materials at close range and accumulate them in dry caves and crevices. Pack rats are roughly the size of laboratory rats. In a cave in Colorado, other researchers- Tony Barnosky, a paleo -biologist from the University of California, Berkeley, and Chris J. To date, the USGS has been involved in pack rat midden and climate change studies in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Utah. According to the USGS, radiocarbon dating has identified some middens that are more than 50,000 years old.īecause these samples are useful so far back in time, their analysis has become important for reconstructing biotic communities and envi ronmental conditions. Scientists derive this data through analysis of the ratios of stable isotopes of oxygen, carbon, and deuterium. Information about past atmospheric conditions is also contained in the middens. These findings help reconstruct the past environment, illustrating what the climate conditions were at the time. Fossil pack rat (also known as wood rat) middens (crystallized urine) often con -tain abundant fossilized remains of leaves, twigs, fruits, seeds, bones, shells, and other dateable materials. Geological Survey (USGS) is currently involved in research along these lines in the southwestern United States. Another proxy method that scientists use to reconstruct past periods of climate change is through analysis of plant remains from fossil pack rat middens. ![]()

There's a rule in horror of "not showing the monster" from Alien to Jaws and even going as far back as Godzilla (1954).

The plot of “Mantis In Lace” is pure Novak: Lila (played by Susan Stewart) is a good-natured go-go dancer who strips at a seedy topless bar on the Sunset Strip. Time to meet the sexy cast of “Mantis In Lace!” Look at this! President Obama and VP Biden enjoying a burger in a shop that never stops celebrating this film!!!! She loved them…and loved them…and loved them… TO DEATH! ![]() Here is a look at three of Harry’s sexploitation masterpieces – beginning with one that was so iconic it even go the attention of the President Of The United States! Harry Novak was a master in making money off sex – as you see, often with a sense of humor! Appreciate them for what they are – the opening of the door to a new world of freedom in movie making that now results in “anything goes”… I mean, who can argue with titles like these: I do not apologize at all for my love of “grindhouse” films: these movies celebrate sex, violence, and – well – MORE sex and violence, but they are an important part of our cinematic history, for they helped open the doors to much more “adult” film making. It was a wild time for all – along with Times Square, these movies were routinely booked in drive-in theaters in the midwest and south, with lurid come-on advertising – and in many cases they high-tailed it out of town with the police close behind. In those early days, these films were always presented as if they were made for one reason only: to warn you of the dangers lurking in the big city! So these “sexploitation” films were a legal outlet for pent up sexual repression – and presented as “sex education”, therefore slipping back local censors… Movies like “Scream In The Streets” were designed to tease and titillate – and also WARN everyone about the dangers of promiscuity…remember, when these movies were shown, there were no “hardcore” movies in theaters – nudity and sex were a dangerous mix… And Harry was about to satisfy a lot more than that! Here is the definition of PRURIENT: “Having or encouraging an excessive interest in sexual matters.” In big cities, especially New York’s Times Square, these downtown movie theaters were open 24 hours a day, and didn’t care WHAT was going on in the seats – seeing a film here was a dangerous sport! And the movies that were shown were “grinding out” all day and night – usually a gratuitous mix of non-stop sex and violence…hence the term “grindhouse”:Īnd they were aiming for one thing, and one thing only…to satisfy a PURIENT INTEREST: In the 60’s and 70’s, exploitation films – also known as “sexploitation” movies – were the cheapest, sleaziest films there were: low budget, often poorly made, and often dubbed european films that were shown exclusively in inner city “grindhouses”… To fully appreciate his impact, a quick bit of history…back to a time when seeing a salacious film was more difficult, more daring…and very dangerous for the people making them! It’s just one of the deliciously wicked films from the mind of Novak. Why? Easy! How can you not love a guy who was behind a film like this? ![]() Harry Novak is one of the most influential Producers in movie history. Thanks to legendary film Producer Harry Novak, we will always have these classic slices of cinema to enjoy – because Harry helped blow the doors off cinema! RIP Harry, you will be missed – let’s remember how he heated up movie theaters forever! Yes, some of the greatest films ever made – from a time when the title and tagline for a film were as important as what was in it!
