  • A New Family of Giant Jurassic–Cretaceous Littorinoid Gastropods from the Northern Tethys Shelf
    A new family of giant Jurassic–Cretaceous littorinoid gastropods from the northern Tethys shelf MATHIAS HARZHAUSER and SIMON SCHNEIDER Harzhauser, M. and Schneider, S. 2014. A new family of giant Jurassic–Cretaceous littorinoid gastropods from the northern Tethys shelf. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 59 (2): 367–378. The giant, up to 40 cm high littorinoid gastropods from the Middle Tithonian to Berriasian carbonates of the Al- pine-Carpathian northern Tethys margin are assigned to the genus Leviathania. The genus is distributed from Spain to the Caucasus. Some species formed dense populations in the wide-spread, highly productive lagoonal environments situated on the carbonate platforms of Ernstbrunn (Austria), Mikulov, Štramberk (both Czech Republic), and Nyzhniv (Ukraine). The conspicuous morphology, comprising very large shells with strongly angulated whorls and especially the phaneromphalous umbilicus exclude the traditional attributions of this genus to the families Purpurinidae and Purpuroideidae. Therefore, we establish the new family Leviathaniidae for the type genus Leviathania. The family comprises the largest pre-Cenozoic gastropods, represented by a yet unnamed gigantic Leviathania species from the latest Tithonian or early Berriasian of Ukraine. The gastropods are tentatively assumed to have fed omnivorous, i.e., on a mixed detrital-algal diet, based on comparable population densities as the large modern queen conch Lobatus gigas from the Caribbean Sea. Key words: Mollusca, Gastropoda, Leviathania, carbonate platform, body size, Jurassic–Cretaceous, Tethys, Titho- nian, Ernstbrunn Limestone, Austria.

  • Cultural Tourism As a Driver of Rural Development. Case Study: Southern Moravia
    sustainability Article Cultural Tourism as a Driver of Rural Development. Case Study: Southern Moravia Milada Št’astná * , Antonín Vaishar, Jiˇrí Brychta, Kristýna Tuzová, Jan Zloch and Veronika Stodolová Department of Applied and Landscape Ecology, Mendel University in Brno, Brno 61300, Czech Republic; [email protected] (A.V.); [email protected] (J.B.); [email protected] (K.T.); [email protected] (J.Z.); [email protected] (V.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +420-606-580-412 Received: 13 October 2020; Accepted: 29 October 2020; Published: 31 October 2020 Abstract: The main aim of the study was to find out whether cultural tourism could be a driver of rural development in the selected area and in general. In case yes, to what extent and under what conditions. Three districts in the South-Moravian Region, Znojmo, Bˇreclav, and Hodonín, situated in the rural borderland with Austria and Slovakia represented the study area. Both geographical and sociological methods were used to gather evidence for cultural tourism in that study. Firstly, attractiveness analysis of the area defined for cultural tourism took place. Next, factors influencing the potential for cultural tourism affecting rural development in South Moravia were evaluated. Finally, synergistic relations were discussed. In the territory, many forms of tourism intersect. Based on the results, it can be stated that cultural tourism can hardly be the main driver of rural development after the decline of agriculture because the region’s economy has branched out in several directions. However, it can be an important complementary activity that yields both economic and non-economic benefits.

  • "Their" Jews in Austria During the Persecutions of the Fourteenth
    BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE: RULERS, CITIES, AND “THEIR” JEWS IN AUSTRIA DURING THE PERSECUTIONS OF THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY* Eveline Brugger The legal status of Jews in medieval Austria had been defijined in the thir- teenth century, at a time when the number of Jewish inhabitants and Jewish settlements was growing; a long struggle for the actual rule over the Jews between the Austrian duke and the emperor eventually ended in favor of the duke. The Austrian dukes granted their Jews protection and privileges in exchange for considerable taxation and ducal control of Jewish business.1 This arrangement worked smoothly during the thirteenth century, which was mostly a time of peace and prosperity for the Austrian Jewry. However, their dependency on ducal protection left them in a very precarious situa- tion during the fourteenth century, which brought about a steady deterio- ration of the overall status of the Austrian Jews.2 The fijirst persecution of Jews in Austria that went beyond an attack against a single person or family occurred in 1294, in the small Lower Austrian town of Laa an der Thaya . The source from which we learn about this event, an annalistic note written in the Cistercian monastery of Zwettl, established a literary tradition that then occurred repeatedly in the Austrian historiography of the fourteenth century: “Also in the town of Laa, Jews had stolen the body of the Lord, and when they were appre- hended burying it in a stable, a few were punished by death, and the * Research for this article was funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), P 21236– G18.
