Sheared peridotite xenoliths entrained by kimberlites provide snapshots of metasomatism and deformation within the cratonic mantle. Here, we present H 2 O concentrations of nominally anhydrous minerals (olivine, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene) in 18 low-, moderate- and high-T sheared peridotites from the Kimberley and northern Lesotho kimberlite cluster (Kaapvaal craton). H 2 O contents range from < 1–80 µg/g (olivine), 70–31...

To help evaluate the distribution, residency, population size and structuring (and hence conservation status) of the poorly known false killer whale Pseudorca crassidens in northern Australian waters, we undertook studies of sightings, movement patterns based on satellite telemetry, and genetics. Sighting data indicates that false killer whales are regular, year-round inhabitants of coastal areas of northern Australia. Satelli...
