Der Deutsche Bundestag stellt fest: Im Zusammenhang mit der 5. Novelle der Verpackungsverordnung ist auf Ini- tiative der Fraktion der SPD die Durchführung eines Planspieles vereinbart wor- den, um eine umfassende Überprüfung des bestehenden Systems der Verpa- ckungsentsorgung vorzunehmen. Dabei sollten alle Möglichkeiten eines grund- legenden Neuanfangs bei der Verpackungsentsorgung betrachtet und diverse Optionen zur Organisation und Finanzierung der Sammlung, Sortierung und Verwertung getestet werden. Nach der jetzt bekannten Ausgestaltung und eines moderierten Verfahrens ist davon auszugehen, dass es sich nicht mehr um ein ergebnisoffenes Planspiel handelt, das den Vollzug nachhaltig verbessert und Optimierungspotenziale er- schließt. Das Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit ver- sucht, im Gegensatz zu positiven Erfahrungen mit dem Planspiel zum Baugesetz und -buch, durch eine Vorauswahl von zwei aus vier möglichen Modellen zur Zuständigkeit der Wertstofftonne, Entscheidungen zu präjudizieren. Hierüber ist keine Diskussion in den gebildeten Projektgruppen möglich, obwohl die beauf- tragten Gutachter keine Dominanz eines Modells im Ergebnis feststellen konn- ten. Zum Modell Vier in kommunaler Trägerschaft stellen die Gutachter zudem fest, dass dieses eine Sonderstellung innerhalb der Untersuchung aufweise, da es auf dem Prinzip der Einheitlichkeit von Organisations- und Finanzierungsverant- wortung basiere und dabei den öffentlichen Akteuren zugeordnet sei.

  • 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.
