Assessing the suitability of central European landscape for the reintroduction of Eurasian lynx. J. appl. Ecol. 39: 189-203. Keywords: 8DE/connectivity/geographic information system/habitat fragmentation/habitat model/landscape/large-scale/logistic regression/Lynx lynx/Malme/reintroduction/spatial model Abstract: 1. After an absence of almost 100 years, the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx is slowly recovering in Germany along the German-Czech border. Additionally, many reintroduction schemes have been discussed, albeit controversially, for various locations. We present a habitat suitability model for lynx in Germany as a basis for further management and conservation efforts aimed at recolonization and population development. 2. We developed a statistical habitat model using logistic regression to quantify the factors that describe lynx home ranges in a fragmented landscape. As no data were available for lynx distribution in Germany, we used data from the Swiss Jura Mountains for model development and validated the habitat model with telemetry data from the Czech Republic and Slovenia. We derived several variables describing land use and fragmentation, also introducing variables that described the connectivity of forested and non-forested semi-natural areas on a larger scale than the map resolution. 3. We obtained a model with only one significant variable that described the connectivity of forested and non-forested semi-natural areas on a scale of about 80 km2. This result is biologically meaningful, reflecting the absence of intensive human land use on the scale of an average female lynx home range.

Received: 21 April 2018; Accepted: 12 June 2018; Published: 15 June 2018 Abstract: The intensity and extent of transmission of arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus have increased markedly over the last decades. Autochthonous transmission of dengue and chikungunya by Aedes albopictus has been recorded in Southern Europe where the invasive mosquito was already established and viraemic travelers had imported the virus. Ae. albopictus populations are spreading northward into Germany. Here, we model the current and future climatically suitable regions for Ae. albopictus establishment in Germany, using climate data of spatially high resolution. To highlight areas where vectors and viraemic travellers are most likely to come into contact, reported dengue and chikungunya incidences are integrated at the county level.

    ________________________________________________________________________ Guide to the MS-196: “Meine Fahrten 1925-1938” Scrapbook [My Trips 1925-1938] Jesse Siegel ’16, Smith Project Intern July 2016 MS – 196: “Meine Fahrten” Scrapbook (Title page, 36 pages) Inclusive Dates: October 1925—April 1938 Bulk Dates: 1927, 1929-1932 Processed by: Jesse Siegel ’16, Smith Project Intern July 15, 2016 Provenance Purchased from Between the Covers Company, 2014. Biographical Note Possibly a group of three brothers—G. Leiber, V. Erich Leiber, and R. Leiber— participated in the German youth movement during the 1920s and 1930s. The probable maker of the photo album, Erich Leiber, was probably born before 1915 in north- western Germany, most likely in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. His early experiences with the youth movement appear to have been in conjunction with school outings and Christian Union for Young Men (CVJM) in Austria. He also travelled to Sweden in 1928, but most of his travels are concentrated in northwestern Germany. Later in 1931 he became an active member in a conservative organization, possibly the Deutsche Pfadfinderschaft St. Georg,1 participating in outings to nationalistic locations such as the Hermann Monument in the Teutoburg Forest and to the Naval Academy at Mürwik in Kiel. In 1933 Erich Leiber joined the SA and became a youth leader or liaison for a Hitler Youth unit while still maintaining a connection to a group called Team Yorck, a probable extension of prior youth movement associates. After 1935 Erich’s travels seem reduced to a small group of male friends, ending with an Easter trip along the Rhine River in 1938.

    624 Herzogia 28 (2) Teil 2, 2015: 624 – 653 Naturräumlich-ökologische Analyse der Flechtenflora von Deutschland Ulf Schiefelbein*, Florian Jansen, Birgit Litterski & Volkmar Wirth Zusammenfassung: Schiefelbein, U., Jansen, F., Litterski, B. & Wirth, V. 2015. Naturräumlich-ökologische Analyse der Flechtenflora von Deutschland. – Herzogia 28: 624 – 653. Die Flechtenflora von Deutschland wird auf der Grundlage der Angaben von Wirth et al. (2013; Die Flechten Deutschlands) analysiert, wobei Naturräume die geografische Basis für die Analysen bilden. Bewertet werden Artendiversität, Exklusivität des Arteninventars, substratspezifische Eigenschaften (Substratbindung, pH-Werte und Nährstoffgehalt/Eutrophierung der besiedelten Substrate) und klimatische Faktoren (Licht, Luftfeuchte). Die artenreichs- ten Naturräume sind nach den Bayerischen Alpen, dem Schwarzwald und Odenwald-Spessart die ebenfalls sehr nieder- schlagsreichen Naturräume Eifel, Weserbergland, Harz, Fränkische Alb, Sauerland und Bayerisch-Böhmischer Wald. Die artenärmsten Landschaften liegen überwiegend im südlichen Teil des Nordostdeutschen Tieflandes. Die Exklusivität des Arteninventars eines Naturraumes wird als Anzahl der Arten, die in Deutschland nach 1950 nur in einem bis zwei Naturräumen nachgewiesen wurden, definiert. In der gesamten Bundesrepublik sind es 638 Arten, davon kommen die meisten in den Bayerischen Alpen, im Schwarzwald, Bayerischen Wald, Odenwald-Spessart und in der Schwäbischen Alb vor. Im gesamten Deutschland überwiegen die Gesteinsbewohner (47,6 % des Gesamtarteninventars),
