The Structure of the Alps: an Overview 1 Institut Fiir Geologie Und Paläontologie, Hellbrunnerstr. 34, A-5020 Salzburg, Austria
Carpathian-Balkan Geological pp. 7-24 Salzburg Association, XVI Con ress Wien, 1998 The structure of the Alps: an overview F. Neubauer Genser Handler and W. Kurz \ J. 1, R. 1 2 1 Institut fiir Geologie und Paläontologie, Hellbrunnerstr. 34, A-5020 Salzburg, Austria. 2 Institut fiir Geologie und Paläontologie, Heinrichstr. 26, A-80 10 Graz, Austria Abstract New data on the present structure and the Late Paleozoic to Recent geological evolution ofthe Eastem Alps are reviewed mainly in respect to the distribution of Alpidic, Cretaceous and Tertiary, metamorphic overprints and the corresponding structure. Following these data, the Alps as a whole, and the Eastem Alps in particular, are the result of two independent Alpidic collisional orogens: The Cretaceous orogeny fo rmed the present Austroalpine units sensu lato (including from fo otwall to hangingwall the Austroalpine s. str. unit, the Meliata-Hallstatt units, and the Upper Juvavic units), the Eocene-Oligocene orogeny resulted from continent continent collision and overriding of the stable European continental lithosphere by the Austroalpine continental microplate. Consequently, a fundamental difference in present-day structure of the Eastem and Centrai/Westem Alps resulted. Exhumation of metamorphic crust fo rmed during Cretaceous and Tertiary orogenies resulted from several processes including subvertical extrusion due to lithospheric indentation, tectonic unroofing and erosional denudation. Original paleogeographic relationships were destroyed and veiled by late Cretaceous sinistral shear, and Oligocene-Miocene sinistral wrenching within Austroalpine units, and subsequent eastward lateral escape of units exposed within the centrat axis of the Alps along the Periadriatic fault system due to the indentation ofthe rigid Southalpine indenter. -

High-Mountain Permafrost in the Austrian Alps (Europe)
HIGH-MOUNTAIN PERMAFROST IN THE AUSTRIAN ALPS (EUROPE) Gerhard Karl Lieb Institute of Geography University of Graz Heinrichstrasse 36 A-8010 Graz e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Permafrost research in the Austrian Alps (Eastern Alps) is based on a variety of methods, including at large scales, the measurement of the temperature of springs and of the base of winter snow cover, and at small scales, mainly an inventory of some 1450 rock glaciers. Taking all the information available into consideration, the lower limit of discontinuous permafrost is situated near 2500 m in most of the Austrian Alps. These results can be used for modelling the permafrost distribution within a geographical information system. Detailed investi- gations were carried out in the Doesen Valley (Hohe Tauern range) using additional methods, including several geophysical soundings. In this way, realistic estimates of certain permafrost characteristics and the volume of a large active rock glacier (some 15x106m3) were possible. This rock glacier has been chosen as a monitoring site to observe the effects of past and future climatic change.

ZooKeys 332: 177–205. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.332.5339 Abstract In this contribution the results of a zoogeographical analysis, carried out on the 123 endemic leaf beetle species (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) occurring in Italy and its immediately adjacent regions, are reported. To assess the level of faunistic similarity among the different geographic regions studied, a cluster analysis was performed, based on the endemic component. This was done by calculating the Baroni Urbani & Buser’s similarity index (BUB). Finally, a parsimony analysis of endemicity (PAE) was used to identify the most important areas of endemism in Italy. Keywords Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Italy, Alps, Apennines, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, endemic species, cluster analysis, parsimony analysis of endemicity Introduction Even if there is not general agreement on whether conservation strategies should focus on hotspots of richness, extinction threat, endemicity or rarity, since the correlation among these factors and their role as biodiversity indicators are still controversial (Bonn et al. -

Häufigste Art der stehenden Gewässer war der Grasfrosch, gefolgt vom Springfrosch mit den höchsten Dichten in Fugnitzsee und Fugnitzgraben. Die höch- sten Erdkrötendichten fanden sich im Wolfsteich. Artenreichstes Laichgewässer im Nationalpark war der Fugnitzsee mit sieben laichenden Amphibienarten. In der angrenzenden Agrarlandschaft war der Johanneskreuz-Graben mit einer Gesamtzahl von acht Amphibienarten, davon sechs mit Fortpflanzungsnachweis, das artenreich- ste Gewässer des Untersuchungsgebiets. Die Bäche waren Laichgewässer für drei Amphibienarten: Feuersalamander, Grasfrosch und Erdkröte. Abstract Amphibians of the Thayatal National Park In 2006 and 2007 ten amphibian species bred in 26 stagnant waters and some brooks in the Thayatal National Park and its surrounding agricultural landscape. Rana tem- poraria was the most frequent species, followed by Rana dalmatina reaching the hig- hest densities at Fugnitzsee and Fugnitzgraben. The spawning density of Bufo bufo was highest at the Wolfsteich. The location with most spawning species was the Fugnitzsee (seven breeding species). Within the agricultural landscape the Johanneskreuz-Graben with eight species, six of them breeding, was most diverse. -
