Pomerania in the Medieval and Renaissance Cartography – from the Cottoniana to Eilhard Lubinus
Pomerania in the Medieval and Renaissance Cartography… STUDIA MARITIMA, vol. XXXIII (2020) | ISSN 0137-3587 | DOI: 10.18276/sm.2020.33-04 Adam Krawiec Faculty of Historical Studies Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0002-3936-5037 Pomerania in the Medieval and Renaissance Cartography – from the Cottoniana to Eilhard Lubinus Keywords: Pomerania, Duchy of Pomerania, medieval cartography, early modern cartography, maritime cartography The following paper deals with the question of the cartographical image of Pomer- ania. What I mean here are maps in the modern sense of the word, i.e. Graphic rep- resentations that facilitate a spatial understanding of things, concepts, conditions, processes, or events in the human world1. It is an important reservation because the line between graphic and non-graphic representations of the Earth’s surface in the Middle Ages was sometimes blurred, therefore the term mappamundi could mean either a cartographic image or a textual geographical description, and in some cases it functioned as an equivalent of the modern term “Geography”2. Consequently, there’s a tendency in the modern historiography to analyze both forms of the geographical descriptions together. However, the late medieval and early modern developments in the perception and re-constructing of the space led to distinguishing cartography as an autonomous, full-fledged discipline of knowledge, and to the general acceptance of the map in the modern sense as a basic form of presentation of the world’s surface. Most maps which will be examined in the paper were produced in this later period, so it seems justified to analyze only the “real” maps, although in a broader context of the geographical imaginations. -

A Multi-Gene Phylogeny of Aquiline Eagles (Aves: Accipitriformes) Reveals Extensive Paraphyly at the Genus Level
Available online at www.sciencedirect.com MOLECULAR SCIENCE•NCE /W\/Q^DIRI DIRECT® PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION ELSEVIER Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 35 (2005) 147-164 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev A multi-gene phylogeny of aquiline eagles (Aves: Accipitriformes) reveals extensive paraphyly at the genus level Andreas J. Helbig'^*, Annett Kocum'^, Ingrid Seibold^, Michael J. Braun^ '^ Institute of Zoology, University of Greifswald, Vogelwarte Hiddensee, D-18565 Kloster, Germany Department of Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 4210 Silver Hill Rd., Suitland, MD 20746, USA Received 19 March 2004; revised 21 September 2004 Available online 24 December 2004 Abstract The phylogeny of the tribe Aquilini (eagles with fully feathered tarsi) was investigated using 4.2 kb of DNA sequence of one mito- chondrial (cyt b) and three nuclear loci (RAG-1 coding region, LDH intron 3, and adenylate-kinase intron 5). Phylogenetic signal was highly congruent and complementary between mtDNA and nuclear genes. In addition to single-nucleotide variation, shared deletions in nuclear introns supported one basal and two peripheral clades within the Aquilini. Monophyly of the Aquilini relative to other birds of prey was confirmed. However, all polytypic genera within the tribe, Spizaetus, Aquila, Hieraaetus, turned out to be non-monophyletic. Old World Spizaetus and Stephanoaetus together appear to be the sister group of the rest of the Aquilini. Spiza- stur melanoleucus and Oroaetus isidori axe nested among the New World Spizaetus species and should be merged with that genus. The Old World 'Spizaetus' species should be assigned to the genus Nisaetus (Hodgson, 1836). The sister species of the two spotted eagles (Aquila clanga and Aquila pomarina) is the African Long-crested Eagle (Lophaetus occipitalis). -
Lesser Spotted Eagle
Accipitridae: vultures, kites, hawks, eagles, buzzards and harriers 181 Lesser Spotted Eagle 14˚ Gevlekte Arend LESSER SPOTTED EAGLE Aquila pomarina 1 5 This Palearctic migrant from eastern Europe and 18˚ Russia occurs in southern Africa from late Octo- ber (mostly late November) to March. When perched it is essentially a bulky version of Wahl- berg’s Eagle A. wahlbergi in appearance, with a 22˚ pale eye and, in juveniles, white in the tail and 6 wings. The thin leggings and the downward-bent 2 primaries in flight distinguish this from other Aquila species (Brooke et al. 1972), but from a 26˚ distance its silhouette in soaring flight can be con- fused with that of the Hooded Vulture Necrosyrtes monachus. It is perhaps most frequently recorded in the Kruger National Park and the Moremi Game 7 3 30˚ Reserve and Chobe National Park of northern Botswana, where it consorts with migrant Steppe Eagles A. nipalensis. It is usually recorded in woodland regions 4 8 where rainfall exceeds 600 mm. It occurs in lower 34˚ numbers than the Steppe Eagle, in the ratio of 1:5 18˚ 22˚ 26˚ in the Transvaal (Tarboton & Allan 1984). It is 10˚ 14˚ 30˚ 34˚ often seen singly or in small flocks (Steyn 1982b); a flock of at least 250 birds was reported from along the Khwai River (1923B) (Van den Brink et al. 1994). In January 1993, average linear densities from road counts in the Moremi Recorded in 250 grid cells, 5.5% region reached 1 bird/950 m (M. Herremans unpubl. data). Total number of records: 522 Like the Steppe Eagle, it is attracted to the emergence of Mean reporting rate for range: 3.4% termite alates following good rains, and also to Redbilled Quelea Quelea quelea breeding colonies. -

Raptor Journal 2020, 14: 73 – 76. DOI: 10.2478/srj-2020-0006 © Raptor Protection of Slovakia (RPS) Age of maturity and exceptionally distant natal dispersal of over 500 km by a male lesser spotted eagle Clanga pomarina Vek dospelosti samca orla krikľavého Clanga pomarina a jeho mimoriadne veľký, viac ako 500 km, hniezdny rozptyl Bernd-Ulrich MEYBURG, Hinrich MATTHES & Grzegorz Maciorowski Abstract: According to previous studies using colour rings, lesser spotted eagles Clanga pomarina have established breeding ter- ritories up to 249 km from their natal site. A colour-ringed lesser spotted eagle nestling from NE Poland settled 540 km further west in NE Germany. This male was discovered at the age of six and nested there for several years. This fi nding is all the more remark- able because the bird was a male, which in large eagles typically settle nearer to their natal sites than females. They apparently reproduce successfully for the fi rst time later than females, normally at the age of fi ve. Abstrakt: Na základe predchádzajúcich štúdií využívajúcich značenie farebnými krúžkami je známe, že orly krikľavé Clanga pomarina obsadzujú hniezdne teritóriá do vzdialenosti 249 km od hniezda, kde sa vyliahli. Farebne označený orol krikľavý vyli- ahnutý v SV Poľsku obsadil teritórium 540 km na západe v SV Nemecku. Tento samec bol objavený vo veku šiestich rokov a na tom mieste hniezdil už viacero rokov. Toto zistenie je o to zaujímavejšie, že sa jedná o samca, pretože samce veľkých orlov sa obyčajne usadzujú bližšie k miestu ich vyliahnutia, než samice. Okrem toho sa samce zjavne prvýkrát rozmnožujú neskôr než samice, obyčajne vo veku piatich rokov. -
Studies of Less Familiar Birds Ij2 Lesser Spotted Eagle B.-U
Studies of less familiar birds ij2 Lesser Spotted Eagle B.-U. Meyburg Plates 61-64. Of all European eagles, the Lesser Spotted Eagle Aquila pomarina has the smallest world breeding range, the nominate race being confined to eastern parts of Germany, Poland, eastern Czechoslovakia, Hun gary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, north-east Greece, western Turkey (Thrace), and the Soviet Union north to Leningrad and east to about 35°E. There are no published records of proved breeding in eastern Austria this century, though pairs from Hungary hunt over the land around Lake Neusiedl. There is no clear information on the current position in the Caucasus and the south Caspian lowlands. In Germany the breeding area stretches only to the north of Berlin, westwards beyond the rivers Oder and Neisse but stopping short of the Elbe. In 1969 there were 53 known broods in this area, and possibly a further nine (H. Weber in Glutz von Blotzheim et al. 1971). Even at the beginning of this century, the breeding range extended much further westwards, at least as far as the River Weser in Niedersachsen. A second subspecies, A. p. hastata, breeds in parts of India, in particular the Ganges Valley and West Bengal, and also in Bangla Desh. Hardly anything is known about this form, which appears to be rare. The first autumn plumage is said to be quite different from that of the nominate race, which has led some authors to treat it as a separate species. The Lesser Spotted Eagle presents a very difficult problem to field and museum ornithologists alike—the clear differentiation between it and the very closely related Spotted Eagle A. -
Effect of Environmental Elements on Migration Pattern of Eagles at Jorbeer Conservation Reserve, Bikaner, Rajasthan, India

Deputy Forest Officer (Wildlife), Bikaner, Rajasthan ABSTRACT: The present endeavor was carried out to find out the effect of environmental elements on migration pattern of eagles at Jorbeer Conservation Reserve, Bikaner, Rajasthan, India (JCRBRI) during period from April 2015 to July 2016. The eagles studied were steppe eagle (Aquila nipalensis) and greater spotted eagle (Clanga clanga). The greater spotted eagle was seen only from November to February reiterating their winter migration to this reserve. Steppe eagle stayed at reserve during various months of the study year 2015 and 2016 when the THI values varied as 56.64-79.5. Recording of count of steppe eagle and greater spotted eagle besides real-time observation of environmental temperature and humidity signified in monitoring of eagle residence in the region. Result of the endeavor assisted in comprehending the absence of eagles in summer months during study periods. Residential period of steppe eagle was from November to April and of greater spotted eagle was from November to February only. -
