plate boundary. From 45 Ma - 5 Ma, plate motion has been primarily translational.
Since 5 Ma, transpression has been the dominant mode of interaction. The plate
boundary west of the Queen Charlotte Islands is characterized...
I examined two amphibian communities to assess factors
that may impact amphibian biodiversity. The results suggest
