Ges. Österreich, Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Die österreichischen Landisopoden, ihre Herkunft und ihre Beziehungen zu den Nachbarländern. Von Hans Strouhal, Wien. Die Erforschung der Landisopoden des heutigen Österreichs hat erst in den vergangenen 30 bis 40 Jahren größere Fortschritte gemacht. Zwar gibt es immer noch da und dort Landstriche des Reiches, deren Asselfauna heute noch unbekannt ist. Auch ist, nach den Erfahrungen der letzten Jahre, in den Ostalpen noch weiterhin mit der Möglichkeit des Auffindens von neuen oder zwar bekannten, aber bisher auf österreichischem Gebiete noch nicht beobachteten Arten zu rechnen. Trotzdem sind unsere Kenntnisse schon so weit vorgeschritten, um aus der Verbreitung der österreichischen Landasseln, von denen jetzt insgesamt 58 Arten und Unterarten bekannt sind, einige bemerkenswerte Feststellungen tiergeographischer Art machen zu können, die sich kaum noch wesentlich ändern werden, selbst wenn noch weitere Arten und Fundorte hinzutreten sollten. Dabei wird auch angestrebt, das Wichtigste über die mit den Nachbarländern bestehenden Beziehungen, soweit sie Landisopoden betreffen, herauszuarbeiten. Aus den namentlich von Holdhaus (1932) und von Heberdey (1933) durchgeführten Untersuchungen geht hervor, daß die Eiszeit des Quartärs mit der wiederholt erfolgten, über die Alpen weit sich erstreckenden Ver- gletscherung von einem bedeutenden Einfluß auf die präglaziale (und inter- glaziale) Alpenfauna gewesen ist.

The annual activity in the vast majority of the species ceased completely in winter, and was gradually relaunched in spring. In evaluating the age structure of two predominant diplo- pods Polydesmus denticulatus and Mecogonopodium carpathicum, both widespread across the depth gradient, a vertical segregation of early post-embryonic stages was found.

  • Caves in Slovakia
    Caves in Slovakia ► Caves are real natural gems. Some Slovakia caves are interesting by their rich and unique decoration, others by archaeological excavations. You will be awed by geomorphologic cave structures: stalactites, stalagmites, tufa cascades and curtains, pillars, mounds, pea like and lake formations or soft tufa and eccentric formations. ► Slovakia is extremely rich in caves. 5,450 is the total number of our known caves in Slovakia, but new caves are being discovered constantly. Most of them are situated in Slovak Karst, Low Tatras and Spis – Gemer Karst (Slovak Paradise and Muran Plain), Great Fatra, Western, Eastern and Belianske Tatras. There is no other such concentration of caves with so high representative value located in the karst region of the mild climate zone as in Slovakia. 12 Slovak caves opened to public ► * Belianska Cave * Driny * Gombasecká Cave ► * Bystrianska Cave * Harmanecká Cave ► * Demänovská Cave of Liberty * Jasovská Cave ► * Demänovská Ice Cave * Ochtinská Aragonite Cave ► * Dobšinská Ice Cave * Važecká Cave ► * Domica Belianska cave is located in an attractive environment of the Tatra National Park ► The cave length is 3,640 m with elevation range of 160 m. The entrance parts, accessible through thirled tunnel, contain chimney spaces opening into them and leading from the upper original entrance situated 82 m above the present one. Belianska cave was open for public through the original entrance as early as in 1882. Electrically lit is the cave from 1896. Bystrianska cave is located on the southern edge of the Bystrá village, between Podbrezová and Mýto pod Ďumbierom. ► The cave was formed by tectonical and erosional processes and modelled by underground stream, which flows at present through the spaces 15 to 20 m under the show path.

  • Dutchman Who Did Not Drink Beer. He Also Surprised My Wife Nina by Showing up with Flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital Just Before She Gave Birth to My Son Mitchell
    168 The Bobby Fischer I Knew and Other Stories Dutchman who did not drink beer. He also surprised my wife Nina by showing up with flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital just before she gave birth to my son Mitchell. I hadn't said peep, but he had his quiet ways of finding out. Max was quiet in another way. He never discussed his heroism during the Nazi occupation. Yet not only did he write letters to Alekhine asking the latter to intercede on behalf of the Dutch martyrs, Dr. Gerard Oskam and Salo Landau, he also put his life or at least his liberty on the line for several others. I learned of one instance from Max's friend, Hans Kmoch, the famous in-house annotator at AI Horowitz's Chess Review. Hans was living at the time on Central Park West somewhere in the Eighties. His wife Trudy, a Jew, had constant nightmares about her interrogations and beatings in Holland by the Nazis. Hans had little money, and Trudy spent much of the day in bed screaming. Enter Nina. My wife was working in the New York City welfare system and managed to get them part-time assistance. Hans then confided in me about how Dr. E greased palms and used his in­ fluence to save Trudy's life by keeping her out of a concentration camp. But mind you, I heard this from Hans, not from Dr. E, who was always Max the mum about his good deeds. Mr. President In 1970, Max Euwe was elected president of FIDE, a position he held until 1978.

Aragonite crystals are contrasted with those made of calcite (another variety of calcium carbonate) in that the latter tend to be stubby or dog-tooth-like (“rhombohedral”, rather than acicular). Anthodites often have a solid core of aragonite and may have huntite or hydromagnesite deposited near the ends of the branches. Anthodite crystals vary in size from less than a millimeter to about a meter, but are commonly between 1 and 20 millimeters in length.

How­ Air breathing ever, isopods occupy conditions with wide and unpredictable thermal and oxygen gradients, suggesting that they Gas exchange might have evolved adaptive developmental plasticity in their respiratory organs to help meet metabolic demand Hypoxia over a wide range of oxygen conditions. Isopods To explore this plasticity, we conducted an experiment in which we reared common rough woodlice (Porcellio Land adaptation � Respiratory organs scaber) from eggs to maturation at different temperatures (15 and 22 C) combined with different oxygen levels (10% and 22% O2).
