  • Eidesstattliche Erklärung
    ‐ Dissertation ‐ INTEGRATIVE SPECIES DELIMITATION IN THE ALPINE JUMPING‐BRISTLETAIL GENUS MACHILIS LATREILLE, 1832 Thomas Dejaco May 2014 Molecular Ecology Group Institute of Ecology University of Innsbruck 6020 Innsbruck, Austria 1st supervisor: Univ.‐Prof. Dr. Birgit C. Schlick‐Steiner 2nd supervisor: PD Dr. Florian Steiner i Leopold‐Franzens‐Universität Innsbruck Eidesstattliche Erklärung Ich erkläre hiermit an Eides statt durch meine eigenhändige Unterschrift, dass ich die vorliegende Arbeit selbständig verfasst und keine anderen als die angegebenen Quellen und Hilfsmittel verwendet habe. Alle Stellen, die wörtlich oder inhaltlich den angegebenen Quellen entnommen wurden, sind als solche kenntlich gemacht. Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde bisher in gleicher oder ähnlicher Form noch nicht als Magister- /Master-/Diplomarbeit/Dissertation eingereicht. 19. Mai 2014 Datum Unterschrift Machilis sp. B from Trögener Klamm (southern Carinthia, Austria). Photograph courtesy of Gernot Kunz. ii ABSTRACT Jumping‐bristletails (Archaeognatha or Microcoryphia) are certainly one of the least studied insect groups. Information on their phylogenetic relationship (both within and among hexapod sister groups) and their general biology is very scarce. Within the genus Machilis, 94 species have been described, among which numerous Alpine small‐scale endemics are found. Endemic species are treasures of biodiversity that need to be conserved in the face of the ongoing biodiversity crisis. This is especially important for the European Alps, which are poor in endemic species compared with other biodiversity hotspots like the Mediterranean region. The very basic requirement for any biodiversity assessment is knowledge about the number and taxonomic affiliation of species inhabiting the area under observation. Unfortunately, species determination in Alpine representatives of the genus Machilis is obscured by vaguely defined species limits.

David Waite, Email: [email protected] 1 X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) Data collection Iron speciation was studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy including both X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) regions at the Fe K-edge (7112.0 eV). The X-ray absorption spectra were collected on beamline 17C1 at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC), Taiwan (Tsang et al. 1995) using a Si(111) double-crystal monochromator with a Rh-coated mirror. Samples were ground to fine powder, pressed into a pellet of 5 mm diameter and 1.0 to 2.5 mm in thickness, and sealed in plastic bags. For iron reference compounds and some sludge samples with high iron concentrations, a small amount of the sample was mixed with boron nitride to dilute the sample to achieve an appropriate edge jump at the Fe K-edge. The X-ray energy of the acquired spectra was calibrated by the simultaneous measurement of the Fe K- edge for Fe metal foil (defined as 7112.0 eV at the first inflection point).

It can be seen in the sediments of the Pelagonia basin, particularly in the tripolites of the Suvodol locality. For research on our sample were used the following four methods: infrared spectroscopy IR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry AES-ICP and X-ray diffraction. Тhe crystals of the vivianite are prismatic and tabular with a different length of several cm across. The colour of studied vivianite is greenish blue. The streak is pale bluish, but the colour is soon changing dark blue due to oxidation. Lustre is pearly. Very often can be seen distinct cleavage planes parallel to {010}. The density determined by pycnometer is 2.62 g/cm3 . Hardnes is 1.5–2. The concen- tration of the oxides is: FeO 42.89%, P2O5 28.67%, MnO 2.50%, MgO 0.34%. Also were detected the following trace elements: Cd, Cr, Ni, Ba, Sr, Bi, Zn, Pb, Cu Ag, Co, In, Tl, Ga and Li.

  • NEW ACQUISITIONS to the FERSMAN MINERALOGICAL MUSEUM RAS: the REVIEW for 2009–2010 Dmitriy I
    New Data on Minerals. 2011. Vol. 46 139 NEW ACQUISITIONS TO THE FERSMAN MINERALOGICAL MUSEUM RAS: THE REVIEW FOR 2009–2010 Dmitriy I. Belakovskiy Fersman Mineralogical Museum, RAS, Moscow, [email protected] In 2009–2010 to the main collection of the Fersman Mineralogical museum RAS were acquired 840 specimens of minerals, meteorites, tectites, stone artpieces etc. The systematic collection was replenished with 339 mineral species including 90 new mineral species for the Museum, 42 of which are represented by the type specimens (holotypes, co-types and their fragments). 5 of them were discovered with help of the Museum researchers. Two species were discovered in the specimens from the Museum collection. Geography of acquisitions includes 62 countries and also extraterrestrial objects. More than 77% of all the acquisitions were donated by 105 private per- sons and 2 organizations. Museum collecting resulted in slightly over 12% of acquisitions; 6,5% arrived from an exchange and 3% was purchased. Less than 2% is represented by another types of acquisitions. In this paper, the new acquisitions are described by mineral species, geography, acquisition type and donors. The list of the new acquisitions is given. 2 tables, 19 photographs, 6 references. Keywords: new arrivals, Mineralogical museum, collection, minerals, meteorites, donors. In 2009–2010 period 840 items were acquired from the authors of description. Five added to the main collections of the Fersman of these mineral species were discovered in Mineralogical museum RAS. The majority of collaboration with the Museum staff.

In this context, we report the composition of pore Continental margin waters, bulk sediments, and the speciation of P in four sediment cores recovered on the continental margins off Iron the Amazon, Rio de la Plata and Zambezi rivers. Here, pronounced sulphate-methane transitions (SMTs) occur Phosphorus between 4.5 and 6.5 m sediment depth where sulphate is consumed by the anaerobic oxidation of methane and Vivianite free hydrogen sulphide builds up in the pore waters. This leads to the reductive dissolution of primary Fe Diagenesis Sulphate-methane transition (oxyhydr)oxides (FeOx) by hydrogen sulphide, and the subsequent liberation of FeOx-adsorbed phosphate into AOM pore waters at the SMT.
