Es steht außer Frage, dass die Paläontologie mehr denn je für die Beantwortung der drängenden Zukunftsfragen benötigt wird: Die Erkenntnisse paläontologischer Forschung helfen uns, den gro- ßen Herausforderungen des drohenden Klimawandels und der Gefährdung der biologischen Vielfalt zu begegnen. Um diese Herausforderungen zu meistern, müssen die weltweit besten Wissenschaftler miteinan- der kooperieren. Die Paläontologische Gesellschaft hat die überragende Bedeutung internationaler Kooperation schon zum Zeitpunkt ihrer Gründung erkannt. So hat sie sich dezidiert nicht als natio- nale Gesellschaft, sondern als Forschungsgesellschaft für den gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum verstanden. Seit hundert Jahren leistet die Paläontologische Gesellschaft mit ihrer „Paläontolo- gischen Zeitschrift“, der Ausrichtung internationaler Fachtagungen und ihren Netzwerken einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Internationalisierung der deutschen Paläontologie und damit zum Erhalt ihrer internationalen Spitzenposition. Zu den Voraussetzungen für paläontologische Spitzenforschung gehört es auch, die Sammlungen als Vermächtnis früherer Leistungen zu pflegen und als Grundlage künftiger Forschung zu erhal- ten. Deshalb fördert das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) die sammlungs- bezogene Forschung in den Museen. Gemeinsam mit den Ländern hat das BMBF Positionen zur strategischen Weiterentwicklung der Forschungsmuseen formuliert und mit einem Schwerpunkt zur „Sprache der Objekte“ weitere Fördermöglichkeiten eröffnet. Die Paläontologische Gesellschaft trägt mit ihrer wissenschaftlichen Kompetenz dazu bei, dass Deutschland seiner umweltpolitischen Verantwortung gerecht werden kann. Auch in internationa- len Wissensnetzwerken vermittelt sie diese Kompetenzen. Das ist der Schlüssel, um die Zusam- menhänge von Natur und Gesellschaft zu verstehen und zu einem nachhaltigen Umgang mit den begrenzten Ressourcen zu gelangen. Ich wünsche der Paläontologischen Gesellschaft und ihren Mitgliedern alles Gute und viel Erfolg für ihre weitere Arbeit! Annette Schavan Bundesministerin für Bildung und Forschung Welcome 3 Welcome by Annette Schavan I congratulate the members of the Paläonto- logische Gesellschaft on its centennial anni- versary! A century of the Paläontologische Gesellschaft is also a century of science his- tory. During this time, not only has the sci- ence and its ‘lessons from the past‘ changed dramatically, but also its interconnections to society, economics and politics. Palaeontology unquestionably is needed more than ever to answer urgent questions about our future: the insights from palaeontological re- search help us meet the great challenges of cli- mate change and threats to biologic diversity. To master these challenges, the best scientists worldwide must work together. The Paläon- tologische Gesellschaft has recognised the primacy of international cooperation since its founding, framing itself not just as a na- tional society but as a research society for the entire German-speaking world. The Paläon- tologische Gesellschaft, via its journal, international meetings and its networks, has for a century contributed greatly to the internationalization of German palaeontology, and to the preservation of its high international standing. Care for scientific collections is a fundamental requirement of top-tier research, establishes a his- torical legacy of prior work, and lays a foundation for future scientific endeavours. Accordingly, the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) supports collections-based research in German museums. Together with individual German states, the BMBF has outlined a future development strategy for research museums, with a focus on ‘Sprache der Objekte’ (‘Messages from Objects’), and further opportunities for support. The scientific competence of the Paläontologische Gesellschaft contributes to Germany’s ability to meet its environmental responsibilities. The Paläontologische Gesellschaft also provides this competence to international scientific networks. This work is essential for understanding the relationships between society and nature, and for the sustainable man- agement of our limited natural resources. I wish the Paläontologische Gesellschaft and its members all the best and success for the future. Federal Minister for Education and Research 4 Programme List of Symposia Symposium 1 (Convener: C.

Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden; e-mail: [email protected] Manuscript received: October 2000; accepted: January 2002 ^ Abstract This paper discusses the faunal content, the mammal biostratigraphy, and the environmental ecology of three important con­ tinental Tertiary vertebrate faunas from the Lower Rhine Embayment. The sites investigated are Rott (MP 30, Late Oligocene), Hambach 6C (MN 5, Middle Miocene), Frechen and Hambach 11 (both MN 16, Late Pliocene). Comparative analysis of the entire faunas shows the assemblages to exhibit many conformities in their general composition, presumably re­ sulting from their preference for wet lowlands. It appears that very similar environmental conditions for vertebrates reoc- curred during at least 20 Ma although the sites are located in a tectonically active region with high subsidence rates. Differ­ ences in the faunal composition are partly due to local differences in the depositional environment of the sites: lake deposits at the margin of the embayment (Rott), coal swamp and estuarine conditions in the centre of the embayment (Hambach 6C), and flood plain environments with small rivulets (Frechen and Hambach 1 l).The composition of the faunal assemblages (di­ versity and taxonomy) also documents faunal turnovers with extinctions and immigrations (Oligocene/Miocene and post- Middle Miocene), as a result of changing climate conditions. Additional vertebrate faunal data were retrieved from two new assemblages collected from younger strata at the Hambach mine (Hambach 11C and 14).

  • Suitable Habitat Modeling of Prehistoric Antelope-Like Bovid Duboisia Santeng in Java Island in the Early Pleistocene Andriwibowo*
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 16 September 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202009.0355.v1 Suitable Habitat Modeling of Prehistoric Antelope-like Bovid Duboisia Santeng in Java Island in The Early Pleistocene Andriwibowo* Keywords: Abstract Bovid, forest, habitat, model, The migration routes have facilitated the distribution of mammals from south Pleistocene east Asian mainland to the Sundaland including Java island in the early Pleistocene. One of species that has migrated through that route is antelope-like bovid Duboisia santeng. In the present study, the potential distribution areas and the suitable habitats of D. santeng have been projected and modeled. The modeled habitat was a forest river basin sizing 302.91 Ha in the central of Java island. The model has classified and reconstructed the habitat suitability ranged *Email: paleobio2020@gmail from low to high back to Pleistocene.

Introduction The adaptation and distribution of prehistoric mammals were favoured by migration routes. Presences of large mammal fossil from Indochinese and Sundaic provinces, which are distinct climatically, floristically, and faunistically support the hypothesis of a continental migration route during the middle and late Pleistocene periods. During the glacial periods, the faunal exchanges were favored by the emersion of a huge continental shelf known as Sundaland. This emerged land connected the South East Asian mainland to Borneo and other Indonesia islands including Java island.

  • Fossil Bovidae from the Malay Archipelago and the Punjab
    FOSSIL BOVIDAE FROM THE MALAY ARCHIPELAGO AND THE PUNJAB by Dr. D. A. HOOIJER (Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden) with pls. I-IX CONTENTS Introduction 1 Order Artiodactyla Owen 8 Family Bovidae Gray 8 Subfamily Bovinae Gill 8 Duboisia santeng (Dubois) 8 Epileptobos groeneveldtii (Dubois) 19 Hemibos triquetricornis Rütimeyer 60 Hemibos acuticornis (Falconer et Cautley) 61 Bubalus palaeokerabau Dubois 62 Bubalus bubalis (L.) subsp 77 Bibos palaesondaicus Dubois 78 Bibos javanicus (d'Alton) subsp 98 Subfamily Caprinae Gill 99 Capricornis sumatraensis (Bechstein) subsp 99 Literature cited 106 Explanation of the plates 11o INTRODUCTION The Bovidae make up a very large portion of the Dubois collection of fossil vertebrates from Java, second only to the Proboscidea in bulk. Before Dubois began his explorations in Java in 1890 we knew very little about the fossil bovids of that island. Martin (1887, p. 61, pl. VII fig. 2) described a horn core as Bison sivalensis Falconer (?); Bison sivalensis Martin has al• ready been placed in the synonymy of Bibos palaesondaicus Dubois by Von Koenigswald (1933, p. 93), which is evidently correct. Pilgrim (in Bron- gersma, 1936, p. 246) considered the horn core in question to belong to a Bibos species closely related to the banteng. Two further horn cores from Java described by Martin (1887, p. 63, pl. VI fig. 4; 1888, p. 114, pl. XII fig. 4) are not sufficiently well preserved to allow of a specific determination, although they probably belong to Bibos palaesondaicus Dubois as well. In a preliminary faunal list Dubois (1891) mentions four bovid species as occurring in the Pleistocene of Java, viz., two living species (the banteng and the water buffalo) and two extinct forms, Anoa spec.
