The New Zealand fossil dolphin Otekaikea huata (latest Oligocene to earliest Miocene, in the range 22.28 to 24.61 Ma) is here identified as an early new species in the clade Platanistoidea, which includes the endangered Ganges River dolphin (Platanista gangetica). Otekaikea huata is known only from the holotype, which comprises a partial skeleton from the marine Otekaike Limestone of the Hakataramea Valley, South Island. Otekaikea huata has multiple procumbent tusks passing back to otherwise near-homodont and polydont teeth, and an elevated face for the nasofacial muscles implicated in production of echolocation sounds. The skull vertex is asymmetrical and strongly left-skewed. Phylogenetic analyses based on morphological features place Otekaikea huata in the clade Platanistoidea. The new species adds to the diversity of the superfamily Platanistoidea near the Oligocene-Miocene boundary.

“…Plants can die or grow poorly without irrigation immediately following planting (Geisler and Ferree, 1984). For example, research conducted at the University of Florida reported that Psychotria nervosa (wild coffee), Murraya paniculata 'Lakeview' (orange jasmine), and Acalypha wilkesiana (copperleaf) plants irrigated every 2 days with 3 L of water grew better than shrubs watered every 4 or 8 days with 3 L of water ).…”

Many estimates of root production in the literature were based on sequential coring of biomass methods now considered unreliable. New methods such as minirhizotron and isotope labeling were developed to overcome known biases of old methods, but also have different assumptions and biases that can have large effects on estimates. Variations on the old root ingrowth method are now widely used because it is easy, straightforward, and does not require expensive specialized materials. Only recently have there been sufficient studies of new methods to better define the importance of various potential biases and to compare among ingrowth, minirhizotron, and isotope labeling studies. How these three methods are executed in the field and/or in how data are used to calculate root production can have large effects on mitigating some of the potential biases of each of these methods. There are three main objectives of this chapter. First, known biases of each method are described and suggestions of procedures that reduce problems leading to over-and underestimation of absolute values of root production are made. Second, a comparative approach of methods is taken to assess the importance of biases, because the correct absolute answer is never known. Third, how method biases may manifest differently in annual, short-lived perennial, and long-lived perennial plant root systems are assessed. Comments on root biomass separation from soil and how this affects estimates of root production are also made, because all three methods rely either directly or indirectly on this procedure to derive an estimate of root production.
