  • Phd Studentship (TV-L E13, 65%) “Metabarcoding of Invertebrates”
    PhD studentship (TV-L E13, 65%) “Metabarcoding of invertebrates” The Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig in Bonn (ZFMK) invites applications for a 3-year PhD position starting no later than May 1st, 2019. The position is part of the project "Integrative Analysis of the influence of pesticides and land use on biodiversity in Germany” (INPEDIV). The interdisciplinary joint research of seven partner institutes1 is led by the Zoological Research Museum Koenig and funded for 3 years by the Leibniz Competition. The aim of this study is to investigate consequences of organic and conventional farming for biodiversity in protected areas. By use of traditional methods and new technologies, we will examine agricultural land use effects on a broad range of plant and animal taxa at study sites in the Rhineland and in Brandenburg. We seek an enthusiastic and highly motivated candidate for field sampling and metabarcoding of invertebrates in the Center for Molecular Biodiversity Research at the ZFMK in Bonn. The main task of the PhD student is to analyze insect and soil fauna samples using novel metabarcoding bioinformatic pipelines and the GBOL reference database. The project will involve the analysis of metabarcoding sequence data from thousands of samples and their integration with data from soil pesticide and nutrient content, land-use patterns and vegetation characteristics, as well as with the occurrence of insectivorous vertebrate species. The PhD student will be supervised by a multi- disciplinary team led by Dr Sarah Bourlat (metabarcoding) and Dr Livia Schäffler (biodiversity assessments) and closely cooperate with researchers at partner institutes (vegetation, invertebrate and vertebrate ecologists, ecotoxicologists).

  • Insect Types in the ZFMK Collection, Bonn: Hymenoptera
    Insect Types in the ZFMK Collection, Bonn: Hymenoptera Insect Types in the ZFMK Collection, Bonn: Hymenoptera (last update: April 2006) Karl-Heinz Lampe, Dirk Rohwedder & Birgit Rach running title: LAMPE, ROHWEDDER & RACH: Insect Types in ZFMK section Hymenoptera Authors’ addresses: Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK), Adenauerallee 160, 53113 Bonn, Germany, [email protected] Abstract. The type specimens of Hymenoptera housed in the Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK), Bonn, are listed. There are 74 names recorded; of these 39 (53%) are represented by name bearing (i.e., primary) types. Specific and subspecific names are listed alphabetically, followed by the original genus name, bibliographic citation, original label information (in case of primary types), date and place collected, and finally the geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude based on geo-referencing process). Key words. Type specimens, Hymenoptera Introduction This catalogue is generated from the specimen based database BIODAT. Data capture was mainly done within the DIG project (‘Digitization of key Insect groups at ZFMK’). DIG is one of the subprojects of the German GBIF subnode Insecta. It is financially supported by the German Ministry of Science and Education (BMBF) and will run until the end of the year 2005. By adaptation to the ABCD schema (Access to Biological Collection Data) BIODAT became both a BIOCASE- (Biological Collection Access Service for Europe) and GBIF- (Global Biodiversity Information Infrastructure) provider. Therefore full information at the specimen level, and not only of type specimens, for selected ZFMK insect collections (starting with “Homoptera” & Orthoptera) will be sustainably available on the World Wide Web.

    16. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik (GfBS) vom 18.-21. März 2015 am Zoologischen Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig in Bonn – Programm und Abstracts – Ausgerichtet und erstellt von J. Wolfgang Wägele & Johannes Dambach Mit freundlicher Unterstützung von: Herzlich Willkommen! zur 16. Jahrestagung der GfBS vom 18.-21. März 2015 am Museum Alexander Koenig in Bonn Wir begrüßen alle Teilnehmer der 16. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik (GfBS) ganz herzlich am Zoologischen Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK). Damit tagt die GfBS bereits zum dritten Mal am Museum Koenig, dem Ort, an dem 1998 die erste Zusammenkunft der damals neu gegründeten Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik ausgerichtet wurde. Vor vierzehn Jahren folgten über 200 Teilnehmer der Einladung des GfBS-Gründungsmitglieds und ZFMK- Direktors Clas M. Naumann (*1939 – †2004). Diesem für die GfBS historischem Ereignis folgten viele weitere Tagungen, mit denen schöne Erinnerungen verknüpft sind (u.a. Wien, Leiden, Berlin, München, Dresden, etc.). Die diesjährige Veranstaltung findet in gemütlicher Atmosphäre wieder am Museum Koenig in Bonn statt. Mit 75 Teilnehmern sowie über 55 Postern und Vorträgen– ist wieder ein hoher Anteil an Nachwuchswissenschaftlern vertreten. Nachdem die GfBS in den vergangenen Jahren stets mit anderen Organisationen und Gesellschaften zusammen getagt hat, findet die diesjährige Jahrestagung wieder in "familiärem" Kreise statt. Das Thema der diesjährigen Tagung dreht sich ganz um Taxonomie. Unter dem Motto: „Der Bedarf an taxonomischem Wissen: für wen und in welcher Form?“haben wir fünf Redner eingeladen, die uns aus aktuell laufenden Projekten berichten können. Daneben sind aber auch alle anderen Themen aus der biologischen Systematik vertreten und willkommen. Dementsprechend finden am Donnerstagmorgen die Hauptvorträge von Wolfgang Weisser (TU München), Florian Leese (Ruhr Uni Bochum) und HaJo Mader („Die Wildnisstiftung“ Brandenburg) statt.
