    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.

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),

People begin to use musical instruments which indicates possible ceremony, ritual and dance. Plus all forms of art appears at this time which signifies the full emergence of modern symbolic expression. • The most significant development in stone tool making is the refinement of the manufacture of blades struck off conical cores or nuculi.

Potential future exposure of European land transport infrastructure to rainfall-induced landslides throughout the 21st century Matthias Schlögl1,2 and Christoph Matulla3 1Transportation Infrastructure Technologies, Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), Vienna, Austria 2Institute of Applied Statistics and Computing, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna, Austria 3Department for Climate Research, Zentralanstalt für Meteorologie und Geodynamik (ZAMG), Vienna, Austria Correspondence to: Matthias Schlögl ([email protected]), Christoph Matulla ([email protected]) Abstract. In the face of climate change, the assessment of land transport infrastructure exposure towards adverse climate events is of major importance for Europe’s economic prosperity and social wellbeing. Robust and reliable information on the extent of climate change and its projected future impacts on roads and railways are of prime importance for proactive planning and the implementation of targeted adaptation strategies. Among various menacing natural hazards, landslides stand out as 5 most destructive hazards to the functional effectivity and structural integrity of land-bound transport systems, since they cause long-lasting downtimes and exceedingly expensive repair works. Periods of heavy precipitation persisting over several days are known to be a major trigger for increased landslide activity. Along with climate change such events can be expected to increase in frequency, duration and intensity over the decades to come. In this study, a Climate Index (CI) picturing rainfall patterns which trigger landslides in Central Europe is analyzed until 10 the end of this century and compared to present day conditions.

  • Survey of Paleoanthropological Discoveries in German-Speaking Nations
    Anderson 1 Dylan Anderson Carol Pannocione German 30 September 2019 Behold, der Mann: Survey of Paleoanthropological Discoveries in German-Speaking Nations 1. Introduction The German world, with its turbulent and important history from almost 600,000 years ago to this day, is immensely important to the study of humankind; from then and now. Fossils allow us a glimpse at the early inhabitants of Europe and Germany; tools allow us to see how our ancestors would have survived; and art allows us to see the symbolic capabilities of our ancestors. 2. Fossils and Tools Understanding and researching human prehistory is difficult due to the sheer volume of information. Moreover, there are few tools to examine said prehistory, with dental, isotopic, and mitochondrial analysis being some of the more recent tools. Early tools to examine prehistory would have been fossil analysis, stratigraphy, and comparative anatomy. 2.1. Neandertal 1 Neandertal 1 are a set of bones belonging to an extinct species of hominins now known as Homo sapiens neandertalensis. This was not the first Neandertal found, nor the first Neandertal discovered in the German world, but it was the first fossil to be named as Neandertal. After being discovered in 1856, the fossil was promptly given to local German teacher and naturalist Johann Carl Fuhlrott. Fuhlrott, along with German anatomist Hermann Schaaffhausen, published a joint Anderson 2 paper in 1857 in a German society for natural history posited that the skull belonged to a new species related to humans (Schaaffhausen, 1857). Their views were the subject of intense scholarly debate. At the time, the biological sciences were dominated by German cellular biologist Rudolf Virchow, who despised the theory of evolution and claimed Neandertal 1 was a human with a serious deformation (Glick, 1988).

    Venus Figurines There are plenty of so-called Venus figurines. My Suebian ancestoress seems to be the oldest (and ugliest) of the bunch Just for the hell of it, here is a gallery of stone-age beauties. The ceramic one mentioned in the text is here. Here is a little table of what's around (partially adopted from Wikipedia). There are several more Venus figurines around, however, and many are probably patiently waiting for that good-looking archeologist to dig them out.
