Skibbe 2 25th International Diatom Symposium – Berlin 2018 Preface The 25th International Diatom Symposium (IDS 2018) was held at the Seminaris Cube and at the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum, Freie Universität Berlin (BGBM), from 25 – 30 June 2018. The Research Group Diatoms at the BGBM was honored to hold this 25th Symposium in Germany again. After all, these symposia were started in Bremerhaven, Germany in 1970; the 3rd took place in Kiel, Germany, also. The first four were named Symposium on Recent and Fossil Marine Diatoms (London, UK, 1972; Oslo, Norway, 1976). The 5th took place in Antwerp, Belgium (1978) and the 6th in Budapest, Hungary (1980) and were called Symposium on Recent and Fossil Diatoms. From the 7th Symposium on, the current name International Diatom Symposium was used and the meetings became more international. Five Symposia have been held in the USA (Philadelphia, 1982; San Francisco, 1990; St. Paul, 2010) and Canada (Ottawa, 2002; Québec, 2016), three in Asia: Japan (Tokyo, 1996), Russia (Irkutsk, 2006), China (Nanjing, 2014), and one in Australia (Perth, 1998). The symposia in Europe took place in Paris, France (1984), Bristol, UK (1986), Joensuu, Finland (1988), Zeeland, Netherlands (1992), Maratea, Italy (1994), Athens, Greece (2000), Misdroye, Poland (2004), Dubrovnik, Croatia (2008), and in Ghent, Belgium (2012). At the 25th symposium, 210 participants from 43 countries of all five continents took part in and contributed to 83 Session Talks, 6 Keynote Talks, 10 Workshops and 100 Posters. Important topics of this symposium were: Taxonomy & Phylogeny, Freshwater Biogeography, Bioindication, Marine & Brackish Biodiversity, Paleoclimatology, Names & Collections. Current important topics were picked up in the Session Environmental DNA & High Throughput Sequencing (eDNA & HTS) by the diatom group in the DNAquanet EU CostAction. The International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants (ICNafp) 2018 had just been published before the IDS 2018 and its implications for diatom research were covered in a keynote talk by the chair of the editorial committee. For the first time, the Young Diatomists who had founded themselves at the last symposium in Québec organized their own day (30 June) with 60 participants in 4 Workshops. As in Québec, they had organized Speed Talks within the regular sessions, which were a lot a fun to listen to for the elder diatomists. 20 travel awards were financed by the ISDR (International Society for Diatom Research) and the IUBS (International Union for Biological Sciences), and a number of prizes for the best talks, posters and speed talks were awarded. In this Abstract Book, 189 abstracts are printed alphabetically, no matter if they were presented as talks, posters, or in workshops. In the index, about 600 (co-)authors are listed; in the text more than 800 diatom taxa are referred to. This is substantial reading material for a symposium of less than a week’s length. We hope that you enjoyed meeting with colleagues and friends in Berlin in summer 2018, Regine Jahn, Nélida Abarca, Wolf-Henning Kusber, Demetrio Mora & Jonas Zimmermann 3 25th International Diatom Symposium – Berlin 2018 4 25th International Diatom Symposium – Berlin 2018 New data on the postglacial development of the Kandalaksha Bay coast (White Sea) inferred from diatom assemblages Agafonova, Elizaveta1,2,* & Polyakova, Yelena1 1Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, *e-mail: [email protected], 2P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Moscow, Russia. Recently, interest in the dynamics of the natural conditions of the White Sea coast has significantly increased due to a number of unsolved and topical issues: isostatic and tectonic movements’ role in the current relief formation; the relief-value, chronology and spread of ice cover during the last glacial period; the reconstruction of sea level fluctuations during the Holocene and its forecast (Polyakova 1997). We aim to reconstruct the history of relief development, the main features of sedimentation and the dynamics of the natural environment of the Kandalaksha Bay coast of the White Sea during the Holocene using diatom analysis. To achieve this goal, an analysis of data on geomorphological structure of the Karelian and Tersky coasts and diatom analysis of the coast’s lacustrine-boggy deposits were made (104 samples). We analyzed six sediment core sections from two study sites of the Kandalaksha Bay coast and obtained results showing that in all studied sediment core sections of the Karelian coast, the identified diatom ecozones characterize the gradual transition from an open sea bay to a modern lake through the stage of a meromictic reservoir. The deposits of the Tersky coast contain diatom assemblages characterized by low diversity and low concentrations. In the sediment core sections of the Tersky coast, we found the stages of isolation from the ancient sea water bodies, which are similar in diatom composition with meromictic lakes of the Karelian coast, but the lithology of the deposits differs greatly. Despite the fact that the Karelian and Tersky coasts are located on different sides of the Kandalaksha graben, the uplift rates of them from the end of the Atlantic were very close. We identified three stages in the history of environmental development of the Kandalaksha Bay coast. In each of them, significant changes in the relief and the natural environment took place. The first stage (from the late Dryas to the beginning of the Boreal period) is the cold marine stage, the second (from the second half of the Boreal to the beginning of the Subboreal) is a transitional one thatis characterized by the isolation of reservoirs and the formation of meromictic lakes, and the third is a modern freshwater stage (started in the middle of the Subboreal time). Owing to the competent choice of the objects of research, we created a strong base for paleogeographic reconstructions. Also, new unique data on the diatoms composition in the coastal peat bogs of the Tersky coast, which has been much less studied than Karelian, have been obtained.

In this work we present an ultrastructure-based revision of the diatom genus Sieminskia Metzeltin & Lange-Bert. using light and electron microscopy. Only one species belongs to Sieminskia but appeared in the literature with different synonyms. The genus was established in 1998 by Metzeltin and Lange-Bertalot to accommodate two Navicula Bory species; Navicula zeta Cleve and Navicula wohlenbergii C. Brockmann. Another species described by Hagelstein in 1939; Navicula expansa, appeared to be synonym to N. zeta. A taxonomic comparison with the related genera Parlibellus E. J. Cox, Cosmioneis D. G. Mann & Stickle, Scolioneis D. G. Mann and Stauroneis Ehrenb. is provided. Sieminskia zeta Metzeltin & Lange-Bertalot (the valid name of the only species of the genus), is widely distributed in brackish-water but its valve structure has not been fully described.

Environmentalism in South Africa: A Sociopolitical Perspective FARIEDA KHAN I. Introduction South Africa is a country that has undergone dramatic political changes in recent years, transforming itself from a racial autocracy to a democratic society in which discrimination on racial and other grounds is forbidden, and the principle of equality is enshrined in the Constitution. These political changes have been reflected in the envi- ronmental sector which, similarly, has transformed its wildlife-cen- tered, preservationist approach (appealing mainly to the affluent, white minority), to a holistic conservation ideology which incorporates social, economic, and political, as well as ecological, aspects.

  • PEENEMUENDE, NATIONAL SOCIALISM, and the V-2 MISSILE, 1924-1945 Michael
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ENGINEERING CONSENT: PEENEMUENDE, NATIONAL SOCIALISM, AND THE V-2 MISSILE, 1924-1945 Michael Brian Petersen, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation Directed By: Professor Jeffrey Herf Departmen t of History This dissertation is the story of the German scientists and engineers who developed, tested, and produced the V-2 missile, the world’s first liquid -fueled ballistic missile. It examines the social, political, and cultural roots of the prog ram in the Weimar Republic, the professional world of the Peenemünde missile base, and the results of the specialists’ decision to use concentration camp slave labor to produce the missile. Previous studies of this subject have been the domain of either of sensationalistic journalists or the unabashed admirers of the German missile pioneers. Only rarely have historians ventured into this area of inquiry, fruitfully examining the history of the German missile program from the top down while noting its admi nistrative battles and technical development. However, this work has been done at the expense of a detailed examination of the mid and lower -level employees who formed the backbone of the research and production effort. This work addresses that shortcomi ng by investigating the daily lives of these employees and the social, cultural, and political environment in which they existed. It focuses on the key questions of dedication, motivation, and criminality in the Nazi regime by asking “How did Nazi authori ties in charge of the missile program enlist the support of their employees in their effort?” “How did their work translate into political consent for the regime?” “How did these employees come to view slave labor as a viable option for completing their work?” This study is informed by traditions in European intellectual and social history while borrowing from different methods of sociology and anthropology.

  • Communities, Conservation, and Tourism-Based
    Communities, Conservation, and Tourism‐based Development: Can community‐based nature tourism live up to its promise? Robin L. Turner Abstract This working paper draws from research on the Makuleke Region of Kruger Park, South Africa, to analyze the opportunities and tensions generated by efforts to use conservation‐based tourism as a catalyst for community development. By attending to the political economies in which effort is embedded, I seek to enrich our theorizations of community‐based natural resource management. This paper represents an initial step in that direction; the Makuleke case is used to identify and think through the implications of nature tourism for participating communities. Like many other protected areas, the origins of the Makuleke Region lie in convergence of dispossession, forced removal, and conservation. The Makuleke, who consider the land their ancestral home, were forcibly removed in the late 1960s so that the land could be incorporated into Kruger National Park. They regained title in 1998, and have subsequently pursued economic development through conservation. While co‐managing the Region with SANParks, the parastatal that manages all national protected areas, the Makuleke have sought to develop a tourism initiative that will produce economic self reliance and development. In adopting this strategy, the Makuleke are engaging with local, national, and international political economies over which community actors have limited room for maneuver. This case brings three factors to light. First, the legacy of fortress conservation may make it more difficult for community actors to engage with their partners on an equal basis. Second, sectoral attributes of tourism pose special challenges to CBNRM initiatives; it is not clear that tourism projects will produce substantial benefits.

  • Chapter 6 Results of the Case Studies
    CHAPTER 6 RESULTS OF THE CASE STUDIES 6.1 INTRODUCTION Six case studies were chosen for the research project. These are as follows: 1. The Kruger National Park (KNP) was chosen as an example of a National Park. The KNP is the largest and most renowned park in South Africa managed by South African National Parks. The Park represents one of the outstanding examples of a National Park, famed world-wide, and it is justly described as the flagship of the South African National Parks. It is an important tourism destination for many visitors and offers a unique nature experience because of its rich wildlife and good infrastructure. 2. Pilgrim’s Rest was chosen as an example of a conserved, gold-mining, heritage town and also because the old reduction works are currently being investigated for inclusion as a UNESCO World Heritage Industrial Site, a first in Africa. The date of submission was the 15 May 2004 under criteria (ii) and (iv) as a cultural category (http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/1075). 3. The Kromdraai Visitor Gold Mine was chosen as an example of a visitor mine; one of the first gold mines discovered in the Transvaal, even before the discovery of the Witwatersrand Goldfield in 1886.
