    NEW SIRENIAN RECORD FROM <SPAN CLASS="ABSTRACT-TITOLO">LOWER</em> PLIOCENE SEDIMENTS OF TUSCANY (ITALY)

    No full text
    A left humerus of a sirenian found in the upper part of a marine succession from Camigliano (Siena, Italy) is described. Foraminiferal assemblages reveal that this humerus belongs to a specimen living during the early Zanclean (Globorotalia margaritae Zone) in a shallow marine environment and that was probably subjected to post-mortem transport to a shelf environment under storm wave action. This new Tuscan record can be ascribed, for size and stratigraphic position, to Metaxytherium cf. subapenninum. The dimensional comparison of this humerus with those of its supposed ancestor M. serresii confirms the remarkable increase in body size of M. subapenninum compared with the former M. serresii

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
