    Demographic history, range size and habitat preferences of the groundwater amphipod Niphargus puteanus (C.L. Koch in Panzer, 1836) Dieter Weber1,2, Jean-François Flot1,3, Hannah Weigand2, Alexander M. Weigand2* 1 Université Libre de Bruxelles, Evolutionary Biology & Ecology group, Avenue F.D. Roosevelt 50, B- 1050 Brussels - Belgium 2 Musée National d'Histoire Naturelle Luxembourg, Section de zoologie, 25 Rue Münster, L-2160 Luxembourg, Luxembourg 3 Interuniversity Institute of Bioinformatics in Brussels – (IB)2, ULB-VUB, La Plaine Campus, Triomflaan, C building, 6th floor, CP 263, 1050 Brussels, Belgium *corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Niphargus puteanus is the oldest described species of its genus and, in the past, was used as a taxonomic annotation for any subterranean amphipod record. For that reason, no clear knowledge exists about its actual range size and habitat preferences. We here applied a molecular taxonomic and phylogeographical approach based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA to shed light on its distribution and to infer its demographic history. Furthermore, we analysed aquifer types and water flow regimes to provide a clearer picture of the species’ ecological requirements. Our results indicate that N. puteanus is widely distributed north of the Alps, having its core range in the geomorphological natural region of the ‘South German Scarplands’ (SGS). Additionally, isolated satellite populations exist in the Taunus and the Sauerland, and two single individuals were collected in Luxembourg and in Austria, respectively. The species’ maximal distribution range reaches 756 km between the two single-specimen records and 371 km within the SGS. A very high haplotype diversity was observed, revealing the presence of seven haplotype groups.

  • Indicators of Hemeroby for the Monitoring of Landscapes in Germany
    Indicators to monitor the structural diversity of landscapes Ulrich Walz Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development, Weberplatz 1, 01217 Dresden, Germany Ecological Modelling 295 (2015) 88–106, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2014.07.011 ABSTRACT An important level of biodiversity, alongside the diversity of genes and species, is the diversity of ecosystems and landscapes. In this contribution an indicator system is proposed to measure natural diversity (relief, soils, waters), cultural diversity (main land use classes, diversity of land use, ecotones, connectivity) and anthropogenic impacts (fragmentation, hemeroby, protection).The contribution gives an overview of various indicators on landscape diversity and heterogeneity currently used in Germany andEurope. Based on these indicators a complementary system, is presented. The indicators introduced here are derived from regular evaluations of the digital basis landscape model (BasicDLM) of the Authoritative Topographic-Cartographic Information System (ATKIS), the digital land cover model for Germany (LBM-DE) as well as other supplementary data such as the mapping of potential natural vegetation. With the proposed indicators it is possible to estimate cumulative land-use change and its impact on the environmental status and biodiversity, so that existing indicator systems are supplemented with meaningful additional information. Investigations have shown that indicators on forest fragmentation, hemeroby or ecotones can be derived from official geodata. As such geodata is regularly updated, trends in indicator values can be quickly identified. Large regional differences in the distribution of the proposed indicators have been confirmed, thereby revealing deficits and identifying those regions with a high potential for biodiversity. The indicators will be successively integrated into the web-based land-use monitor (http://www.ioer-monitor.de), which is freely available for public use.

  • Climate Change and Floods
    Climate change and floods – findings and adaptation Water Science & Technology strategies for flood protection in Baden-Wu¨ rttemberg W. Hennegriff Federal Institute for Environment, Measurements and Nature Protection Baden-Wu¨rttemberg, Landesanstalt fu¨r Umwelt, Messungen und Naturschutz Baden-Wu¨rttemberg (LUBW), Griesbachstraße 1, D–76185 Karlsruhe (E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract The climatic conditions in Southern Germany have changed noticeably in the 20th century, especially during the last three decades. Both in specific regions and interannually, the trends found Vol 56 No 4 pp 35–44 exceed the natural margins of deviation previously known from long measurement series for some measured quantities. The mean and also the extreme floods are expected to increase significantly, although the results of the model chain global model–regional climate models–water balance models are still uncertain. As a precaution an adaptation strategy has been developed for the field of flood protection which takes into consideration the possible development for the next decades and also takes into account the uncertainties. Keywords Air temperature; climate development modelling; flood protection; flood runoff; precipitation; Q snow cover IWA Publishing 2007 Initial position and cause The numerous extreme floods of the recent past involving extensive damage have pro- voked heated discussions, both in public and among experts, as to whether these flood events must be considered as part of natural climate variation or as a result of climate change already in progress with long-term future effects. According to current prognoses of climate researchers the large-scale climate in the European region will undergo changes, over and above the natural variations, due to anthropogenic influences and in particular due to the increasing CO2-concentration and other increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the air.

  • Biodiversity of the Hercynian Mountains of Central Europe
    Pirineos, 151-152: 83 a 99, JACA; 1998 BIODIVERSITY OF THE HERCYNIAN MOUNTAINS OF CENTRAL EUROPE JAN JENÍK Faculty of Science, Charles University, Benátská 2, CZ-12801 Praha 2, Czech Republic SUMMARY.- The vegetation of temperate Central Europe north of the Alps is mainly of low diversity broadleaf and conifer forest. The occurrence of three azonal habitat types: mires with their numerous microhabitats, the georelief of the karst and its deeply-cut river valleys, and ecological islands with a distinct vegetation near the treeline of the middle-mountains causes local areas of high diversity. These high species diversity spots are the result of an interplay between physical, biotic and historical factors. A model of an anemo-orographic system with its underlying factors is described to explain the high plant and animal diversity in the corries (glacial cirques) of the Hercynian mountains. RÉSUMÉ.-La végétation de l'Europe Centrale tempérée au nord des Alpes nous montre surtout des forêts à de feuillues et de connifères à faible diversité. Cependant, la présence de trois types d'habitats azonaux peut produire une haute diversité au niveau local: zones humides avec leur nombreux microhabitats, reliefs karstiques et leur profonds défilés fluviaux, et enfin des îles écologiques avec une végétation par­ ticulière situées près de la limite supérieure des arbres (treeline). Ces secteurs riches en espèces peuvent s'expliquer par l'interaction des facteurs physiques, biotiques et historiques. Dans ce domaine nous proposons un système anémo-orographique avec ses facteurs inféodés qui pourrait expliquer la haute diversité animale et végétale dans les cirques glaciaires des montagnes hercyniennes.

  • Proxy Environmental Record from the Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic
    bs_bs_banner The Lateglacial and Holocene in Central Europe: a multi-proxy environmental record from the Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic KLARA VOCADLOV A, LIBOR PETR, PAVLA ZA CKOV A, MAREK KRIZEK, LENKA KRIZOV A, SIMON M. HUTCHINSON AND MIROSLAV SOBR Vocadlova, K., Petr, L., Zackova, P., Krızek, M., Krızova, L., Hutchinson, S. M. & Sobr M.: The Lateglacial and Holocene in Central Europe: a multi-proxy environmental record from the Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic. Boreas. 10.1111/bor.12126. ISSN 0300-9483. The Hercynian mountain ranges were islands of mountain glaciation and alpine tundra in a Central European ice-free corridor during the Late Pleistocene. Today they are notable areas of glacial landforms, alpine-forest free areas, peatlands and woodlands. However, our knowledge of the Lateglacial and early Holocene environmental changes in this region is limited. We present a new multi-proxy reconstruction of a mid-altitude environment in the Bohemian Forest spanning this period. A core (5.2 m length) in the Cern e Lake cirque (1028 m a.s.l.) was sub- jected to lithological, geochemical, pollen and macrofossil analysis supplemented by two optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and 10 AMS radiocarbon dates. We determined the impact of regional and supraregional cli- mate changes on the environment. The two most significant changes in sedimentation during the Lateglacial (17.6 and 15.8–15.5 cal. ka BP) were synchronous with regional glacial chronostratigraphy. Unlike Central European mountain ranges, in the Bohemian Forest the Younger Dryas was not coincident with glacier re-advance, but was a dry, cold episode with low lake levels, which prevailed until the early Preboreal.

    624 Herzogia 28 (2) Teil 2, 2015: 624 – 653 Naturräumlich-ökologische Analyse der Flechtenflora von Deutschland Ulf Schiefelbein*, Florian Jansen, Birgit Litterski & Volkmar Wirth Zusammenfassung: Schiefelbein, U., Jansen, F., Litterski, B. & Wirth, V. 2015. Naturräumlich-ökologische Analyse der Flechtenflora von Deutschland. – Herzogia 28: 624 – 653. Die Flechtenflora von Deutschland wird auf der Grundlage der Angaben von Wirth et al. (2013; Die Flechten Deutschlands) analysiert, wobei Naturräume die geografische Basis für die Analysen bilden. Bewertet werden Artendiversität, Exklusivität des Arteninventars, substratspezifische Eigenschaften (Substratbindung, pH-Werte und Nährstoffgehalt/Eutrophierung der besiedelten Substrate) und klimatische Faktoren (Licht, Luftfeuchte). Die artenreichs- ten Naturräume sind nach den Bayerischen Alpen, dem Schwarzwald und Odenwald-Spessart die ebenfalls sehr nieder- schlagsreichen Naturräume Eifel, Weserbergland, Harz, Fränkische Alb, Sauerland und Bayerisch-Böhmischer Wald. Die artenärmsten Landschaften liegen überwiegend im südlichen Teil des Nordostdeutschen Tieflandes. Die Exklusivität des Arteninventars eines Naturraumes wird als Anzahl der Arten, die in Deutschland nach 1950 nur in einem bis zwei Naturräumen nachgewiesen wurden, definiert. In der gesamten Bundesrepublik sind es 638 Arten, davon kommen die meisten in den Bayerischen Alpen, im Schwarzwald, Bayerischen Wald, Odenwald-Spessart und in der Schwäbischen Alb vor. Im gesamten Deutschland überwiegen die Gesteinsbewohner (47,6 % des Gesamtarteninventars),
