          Abstract

          Bed-by-bed sampling of ammonites from clayey to calcareous siltstones of the basal part of the Santiago Formation at the type section in Tamán, San Luis Potosi (Mexico) is first reported. Ammonites belonging to assemblages described by Burckhardt (1912), usually interpreted as Middle to Upper Oxfordian, are restricted to the lowerMiddle Oxfordian Plicatilis Zone, Antecedens Subzone. Perisphinctes (Dichotomosphinctes) durangensis (Burckhardt, 1912) is revised and its biostratigraphic interpretation constrained by its co-occurrence with Gregoryceras. Evidence for the occurrence of Perisphinctes (Perisphinctes), Perisphinctes (Otosphinctes), and Passendorferia or Sequeirosia is first reported from Mexico -within a precise biostratigraphic context. Burckhardt's Oxfordian ochetoceratins are re-examined and their affinity with Cuban counterparts is approached. From a paleobiogeographical point of view, metapopulation dynamics and potentially involved events (e.g., temporary, ancillary, selective vicariancy and subsequent ecological capture) well apply for understanding the biogeographical significance of the ammonite assemblies described.

          Se reporta la fauna de ammonites recolectada estrato a estrato en las limolitas calcáreas de la parte basal de la Formación Santiago en su sección tipo ubicada en Tamán, San Luis Potosí (México). Los ammonites de las asociaciones descritas por Burckhardt (1912), que usualmente se interpretan como Oxfordiano Medio a Superior, se restringen a la parte inferior del Oxfordiano Medio, Zona de Plicatilis, Subzona Antecedens. Se revisa Perisphinctes (Dichotomosphinctes) durangensis (Burckhardt, 1912) y se restringe su interpretación bioestratigráfica en función del registro conjunto con Gregoryceras. En un contexto bioestratigráfico preciso se reporta por primera vez para México la presencia de Perisphinctes (Perisphinctes), Perisphinctes (Otosphinctes), y Passendorferia o Sequeirosia. Se reexaminan los ochetoceratinos oxfordianos estudiados por Burckhardt y se analiza su afinidad con sus equivalentes Cubanos. Desde un punto de vista paleobiogeográfico, la dinámica asociada a la estructuración en metapoblaciones y eventos potencialmente relacionados (p. ej. episodios de vicarianza selectiva y retención ecológica posterior) es de utilidad para la comprensión de la relevancia biogeográfica de las asociaciones de ammonites descritas.

          Ontogeny and Phylogeny

          <p>“Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” was Haeckel’s answer—the wrong one—to the most vexing question of nineteenth-century biology: what is the relationship between individual development (ontogeny) and the evolution of species and lineages (phylogeny)? In this, the first major book on the subject in fifty years, Stephen Jay Gould documents the history of the idea of recapitulation from its first appearance among the pre-Socratics to its fall in the early twentieth century.<br><br>Mr. Gould explores recapitulation as an idea that intrigued politicians and theologians as well as scientists. He shows that Haeckel’s hypothesis—that human fetuses with gill slits are, literally, tiny fish, exact replicas of their water-breathing ancestors—had an influence that extended beyond biology into education, criminology, psychoanalysis (Freud and Jung were devout recapitulationists), and racism. The theory of recapitulation, Gould argues, finally collapsed not from the weight of contrary data, but because the rise of Mendelian genetics rendered it untenable.<br><br>Turning to modern concepts, Gould demonstrates that, even though the whole subject of parallels between ontogeny and phylogeny fell into disrepute, it is still one of the great themes of evolutionary biology. Heterochrony—changes in developmental timing, producing parallels between ontogeny and phylogeny—is shown to be crucial to an understanding of gene regulation, the key to any rapprochement between molecular and evolutionary biology. Gould argues that the primary evolutionary value of heterochrony may lie in immediate ecological advantages for slow or rapid maturation, rather than in long-term changes of form, as all previous theories proclaimed.<br><br>Neoteny—the opposite of recapitulation—is shown to be the most important determinant of human evolution. We have evolved by retaining the juvenile characters of our ancestors and have achieved both behavioral flexibility and our characteristic morphology thereby (large brains by prolonged retention of rapid fetal growth rates, for example).<br><br>Gould concludes that “there may be nothing new under the sun, but permutation of the old within complex systems can do wonders. As biologists, we deal directly with the kind of material complexity that confers an unbounded potential upon simple, continuous changes in underlying processes. This is the chief joy of our science.”</p>
