Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Otoliths from the Lower Miocene of the Torino-Monferrato Hills reveal the presence of 77 teleost taxa. Fifty of those could be identified at species level; two could be described as new species: Gadomus saltans and Centroberyx manens. The associations essentially reflect oceanic fish communities (mesopelagic and bathy-benthic). This Lower Miocene fish fauna is placed in a global view of the biogeographic evolution of the Paleomediterranean, from Rupelian till Recent times. The Rupelian fauna is a circumglobal oceanic one, and is essentially composed of genera that left the present day Mediterranean. In the Rupelian, the percentage of genera with a Recent Indo-Pacific distribution is highest. From the Lower Miocene to the Tortonian, the importance of present day Indo-Pacific genera slows down slightly and the Atlantic genera constitute a bigger part. The percentage of genera still existing in the Mediterranean of today gradually increase from the Rupelian to the Tortonian, where it reaches 64%. The biogeographic affinities of the Tortonian and Zanclean associations are almost similar. From Zanclean to Recent, the otolith-based fossil record is less well documented, but the modification of the fauna essentially concerns the loss of many genera with a Recent extramediterranean distribution. |
