Georg Naumann
Georg Naumann Naturforscher, Pionier der Erdgaserkundung in Kanada, Partner von Max Hinsche in Kanada Bekannt und berühmt wurde Georg Naumann als Naturwissenschaftler, Trapper und Pionier bei der frühen lokalen Auffindung und Nutzung der kanadi- schen Öl- und Erdgasvorkommen im nördlichen Einzugsgebiet des Athabasca River in der Prärie- provinz Alberta. Georg Naumann wurde am 10. November 1901 als ältester Sohn des Radeberger Fabrikarbeiters Au- gust Otto Naumann (1874 – 1922) und dessen Ehe- frau Anna, geb. Berger (1876 – 1966), geboren. Naumanns hatten außer Georg noch 5 weitere Kin- der (4 Söhne und eine Tochter). Nach dem frühen Tod des Vaters im Mai 1922 lastete die Verantwor- tung für die Versorgung der großen Familie, die nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg in der nachfolgenden Hungerzeit existentiell gefährdet war, auf dem ältes- ten Sohn Georg. Nach dem Volksschulbesuch in Lotzdorf erlernte er von 1915 bis 1919 in der Liegauer Grundmühle das Mahlmüller- und Bäcker- handwerk, außerdem das Handwerk des Sägemül- lers. In seiner Freizeit war er naturwissenschaftlich tätig und bildete sich autodidaktisch über die Ange- Georg Naumann – Trapper bote der Kosmos Gesellschaft der Naturfreunde am Athabasca River weiter. Da die Familie unmittelbar am Stadtrand von Radeberg an der Dresdner Heide wohnte, beschäftigte er sich schon frühzeitig mit dem Forst- und Jagdwesen. Anfang der 1920er Jahre war er infolge der allgemeinen Rezession und Depression arbeits- los geworden und wollte sich der Auswanderungswelle in die USA, nach Kanada, Brasi- lien oder Australien anschlie- ßen. Als der Radeberger Präpara- tor und Naturforscher Max Hinsche (1896 – 1939) einen Partner für seine im Museen für Tierkunde und Völkerkun- de Dresden“ geplante mehr- jährige Expeditionsreise in den Hohen Norden Kanadas suchte, fiel seine Wahl auf Georg Naumann. -

The fields at low altitudes have the potential to produce higher yields than those in the highlands. This study investigated the occurrence of insect pests and the natural enemies of quinoa in a traditional production zone, San Lorenzo (in the Andes), and in two new zones at lower altitudes, La Molina (on the coast) and Majes (in the “Maritime Yunga” ecoregion), by plant sampling and pitfall trapping. Our data indicated that the pest pressure in quinoa was higher at lower elevations than in the highlands. The major insect pest infesting quinoa at high densities in San Lorenzo was Eurysacca melanocampta; in La Molina, the major pests were E. melanocampta, Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Liriomyza huidobrensis; and in Majes, Frankliniella occidentalis was the most abundant pest. -

This field study investigated the impact of four insecticides (cypermethrin, imidacloprid, teflubenzuron and emamectin benzoate) on insect pests of quinoa and their side effects on the arthropod community at the coastal level of Peru, by analysing the species composition, species diversity and population density. The arthropod community was examined with pitfall traps (for ground dwelling species), Citation: Cruces, L.; de la Peña, E.; plant samplings (for pests and their natural enemies that inhabit the crop), and yellow pan traps (to De Clercq, P. Field Evaluation of catch flying insects). The results demonstrated that Macrosiphum euphorbiae, Frankliniella occidentalis Cypermethrin, Imidacloprid, and Spoladea recurvalis were efficiently controlled by cypermethrin and imidacloprid; the latter Teflubenzuron and Emamectin compound also showed long-term effects on Nysius simulans. -
Eine Radeberger Legende - Max Hinsche (1896–1939) Präparator, Großwildjäger, Trapper, Naturwissenschaftler, Schriftsteller
Eine Radeberger Legende - Max Hinsche (1896–1939) Präparator, Großwildjäger, Trapper, Naturwissenschaftler, Schriftsteller von ©Klaus Schönfuß „Der Prophet gilt nichts im eigenen Land“ - dieses biblische Sprichwort ist immer noch ak- tuell. Das zeigen Lebensschicksale von Menschen, die trotz ihrer großen Leistungen nach und nach in Vergessenheit geraten, deren Lebenswerke, Erfolge und Nachlässe durch Unwissenheit oder Oberflächlichkeit in ihrem Wert nicht erkannt, auseinandergerissen und zerstreut werden und letztendlich verloren gehen. Zumeist werden ihre Leistungen in der Fremde mehr geschätzt als in der provinziellen Heimat, in der sie häufig verkannt, abgewertet und klein gemacht werden. Genau das trifft das Lebensbild und die Erinnerung an den Radeberger Präparator, Großwildjäger, Trapper, Naturwissen- schaftler und Schriftsteller Max Hinsche. Er genießt der wissenschaftlichen Welt noch heute, nach rund 80 Jahren, höchste Anerkennung und Achtung, und dies nicht nur in dieser speziellen Gruppe wissen- schaftlich Interessierter, sondern er zieht durch die realistischen Schilderungen sei- nes 9-jährigen Lebens in Kanada in sei- nem packenden Buch „Kanada wirklich er- lebt“ eine breite Leserschaft in seinen Bann. Max Hinsche, der gern als „Wilderer“ ab- gewertet wird, hat in Wirklichkeit wissen- schaftlich nachweisbar Großes geleistet und nimmt noch heute einen hohen Stel- lenwert in Vorträgen, wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen und persönlichen Berichten von Professoren der University Calgary/Ca. sowie den Museen in Edmonton/Alberta und in -
Butterfly and Moth Recording Report 2011
Lancashire, Manchester and Merseyside Butterfly and Moth Recording Report 2011 Laura Sivell Graham Jones Stephen Palmer 1 Butterfly Recording Laura Sivell County Butterfly Recorder Record Format More recorders who have computers chose to send their records by email. This is certainly preferred for ease of data input. The new version of Levana now has an excellent import facility, that can convert pages of records in a few seconds. MS Excel, MS Works, or tables in MS Word or tab-text are all acceptable file types. It not only makes my life much easier, it is a joy to use! Please remember to include your name in the file name of your records. On days where several different recorders send a file called ‘butterfly records 11’, it’s chaos! It also helps if you include a header with your name on so that your printed records can be easily attributed to you. Woefully few people have taken this on board. Thanks to those that have, it takes so little to bring joy and relief to this poor recorder. Any recorders with computers but not currently sending their records electronically, please consider doing so. Even if you don’t have email, records can be sent on disc.

ECOLOGY OF GROUND-DWELLING CARABID BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) IN THE PERUVIAN ANDES BY SARAH A. MAVEETY A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Biology December 2013 Winston-Salem, North Carolina Approved By: Robert A. Browne, Ph.D., Advisor Terry L. Erwin, Ph.D., Chair T. Michael Anderson, Ph.D. William E. Conner, Ph.D. Miles R. Silman, Ph.D. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I would like to thank to my advisor, Dr. Robert Browne, who has played a pivotal role in my time at Wake Forest University, encouraging and supporting my research endeavors since my sophomore year as a biology undergraduate. I would also like to thank Biology Department committee members, Dr. Miles Silman, Dr. Bill Conner, Dr. Michael Anderson. The dissertation research would not have taken place in Peru had it not been for Dr. Silman’s long standing research presence there, and I am grateful for his connection. Dr. Conner was my first professor in biology ten years ago, and he has given invaluable insight as the first reader of the dissertation. Dr. Anderson provided instrumental ecological perspective in both my academic career and dissertation. A special thanks to my outside committee member, Dr. Terry Erwin, Curator of Coleoptera at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and Neotropical carabid beetle expert. He has dedicated his time and expertise so that my specimens were identified correctly and I made all the appropriate connections to colleagues in both Peru and the U.S.
