Title: Palaeontologia Electronica Vol. 5, Issue
1
The editorial board and sponsors of Palaeontologia Electronica
are
pleased to announce the release of Volume 5, Issue 1, which can
be
accessed free of charge at:
http://palaeo-electronica.org/
The table of contents for PE5.1 is listed below. Of
particular
interest in this issue are two articles focusing on new imaging
techniques: Michael
Knappertsbusch's contribution on stereographic digital
photomicrographic techniques and
Øyvind Hammer and others' article on the uses of reflectance
transformations. Both of these techniques substantially expand the
palette of procedures that can be used by paleontologists to present
images of their fossils. Add to these, cutting-edge technical articles
by Michael Polcyn and others on the CT analysis of a Dominican Anole
preserved in amber (see issue cover), and by David Lazarus on the
environmental control of Antarctic radiolarian diversity, an expanded
offering of editorials, an expanded book-review section, along with
our regular summaries of the best of on-line paleontology, and we
think you'll agree that Palaeontologia Electronica 5.1 presents
something of interest for every paleontologist.
Come see the future of paleontology (at a web browser near you)!
