Die Invertebraten-Fauna des Rheins und seiner Nebengewaesser

Dokumentation aller Informationen ueber Invertebraten-Fauna des Rheins und der in der Rheinniederung befindlichen Nebengewaesser. Erfassung des derzeitigen Bestandes in regelmaessigen Abstaenden (1971, 1976, 1978) in qualitativer und teil-quantitativer Hinsicht. Zweck: Exemplarische Darstellung der schleichenden Veroedung einer Flussfauna. Erfassung und Publizierung der weiteren Veraenderungen als Indikatoren fuer Veraenderungen der Wasserguete. Erarbeitung der physiologischen Eigenschaften, die es ueberlebenden und zugewanderten unter den derzeitigen Rheinbewohnern ermoeglichen, zu ueberdauern. Erarbeitung von Vorschlaegen des Managements der Rheinfauna, z.B. Einfuehrung neuer Fischnaehrtiere an Stelle ausgestorbener.

Recherches sur les Tiques (FRA)

Il s'agit d'une recherche globale sur la biologie, la physiologie, l'immunologie, l'ecologie et le role de vecteur des Tiques, essentiellement les especes parasitant les animaux domestiques. Le travail est mene aussi bien en Suisse qu'en Afrique, dans des biotopes diversifies (plaine, Jura, savane, foret). Les travaux de laboratoire ont pour but de detecter de nouvelles approches dans la lutte contre les Tiques (etudes des systemes endocriniens, du determinisme de la reproduction, de la physiologie sensorielle (pheromones) et des phenomenes de resistance chez les hotes. Les travaux de terrain concernent essentiellement la survie et l'orientation des Tiques dans leur environnement, la quete des hotes, les mecanismes de transmission des microorganismes pathogenes et leur circulation dans la nature. L'impact de l'urbanisation sur la distribution des Tiques est egalement mesure. (FRA)

Fauna in Phoenix palm trees – results from a full year monitoring in southern Spain

This study aimed to monitor the invertebrate and vertebrate fauna occurring on and associated with ornamental palms of the genus Phoenix, over the course of one year. The term ‘ornamental palm’ in this context refers to the type of trees (i.e. non-native, planted palm trees) rather than their current use at the study sites. Five different locations and settings were chosen in southern Spain, as a representative Mediterranean region where ornamental palms are commonly used. Monitoring methods were applied monthly in order to assess the vertebrates and invertebrates associated with the full seasonal cycle of palms, including flowering and fruiting. These data are used in the article "Ornamental Phoenix palm trees as habitat for fauna in the Mediterranean Region – results from a full year monitoring" (https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.12.e123144).

ZMH Annelida collection

The Annelida collection was established in November 2019 to unite the primarily marine “Polychaeta” collection and the primarily terrestrial and freshwater Oligochaeta and Hirudinea collection, which were historically divided between two Invertebrates collections at the Museum of Nature - Zoology Hamburg. Revisions to annelid classification over the past decade mean that the collection now also includes the former phyla Echiura and Sipuncula. The collection is globally significant and contain important type collections for Oligochaeta (earthworms) and Polychaeta (marine Annelida). Altogether, the collection contains approximately 170,000 specimens, which are mostly preserved in ethanol. The terrestrial and freshwater annelid collection contains approximately 1500 type specimen lots and more than 20% of the known global diversity of earthworm species are represented. The heart of this collection are the specimens collected in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Johann Wilhelm Michaelsen. The marine annelid collection contains more than 2000 type specimen lots, making it among the most important type collections in the world. The types represent species described by Ernst Ehlers, Hermann Augener, and Gesa Hartmann-Schröder, among many others. The geographic focus of the collection on the deep sea, poles, and the southern hemisphere originates from the intensive sampling efforts in these areas by the previous curators Johann Wilhelm Michaelsen, Gesa Hartmann-Schröder and Angelika Brandt. The collection continues to grow through new field collections and donations from researchers around the world.

Marine Heterobranchia (Gastropoda, Mollusca) in Bunaken National Park, North Sulawesi, Indonesia—A Follow-Up Diversity Study

Bunaken National Park has been surveyed for a fourth time in 14 years, in an attempt to establish the species composition of heterobranch sea slugs in a baseline study for monitoring programs and protection of this special park. These molluscs are potentially good indicators of the health of an ecosystem, as many are species-specific predators on a huge variety of marine benthic and sessile invertebrates from almost every taxonomic group. Additionally, they are known to contain bio-compounds of significance in the pharmaceutical industry. It is therefore of paramount importance not only to document the species composition from a zoogeographic point of view, but to assist in their protection for the future, both in terms of economics and aesthetics. These four surveys have documented more than 200 species, with an approximate 50% of each collection found only on that survey and not re-collected. Many species new to science have also been documented, highlighting the lack of knowledge in this field. These dataare used in the article "Marine Heterobranchia (Gastropoda, Mollusca) in Bunaken National Park, North Sulawesi, Indonesia—A Follow-Up Diversity Study" (https://doi.org/10.3390/d10040127).

Frozen Ark Projekt

Over the next thirty years it is predicted that more than 1000 species of mammals, a quarter of the world's total, and a similar proportion of birds, amphibians and marine animals (both invertebrates and vertebrates) will go extinct. Thousands of invertebrate species have already disappeared after the destruction of their habitats. The Frozen Ark Project is a strategy to conserve the genetic resources of the world's endangered species. It is the animal equivalent of the the 'Millennium Seed Bank' created by Kew Gardens to conserve the seeds of the world's plants. The Ark's consortium is a network of research and conservation bodies, including zoos, aquaria, natural history museums and research laboratories around the world. The charity's office and laboratory is based within the University of Nottingham.

DNA barcoding of benthic invertebrates from Lake Sevan (Armenia)

Lake Sevan, the only large water reservoir within the South Caucasus, is under severe ecological pressure, and understanding the species composition of the lake and especially the rivers of its drainage basin is of central importance to inform natural resource management decisions in Armenia. Due to the limited capacity in the area for exact and fast taxonomic identification of benthic invertebrates, we started to compile a DNA barcode reference database of aquatic arthropods from the Lake Sevan drainage basin, spearheaded by Dr. Marine Dallakyan from Yerevan's Scientific Center of Zoology and Hydroecology (Armenian Academy of Sciences), whose first visit to ZFMK has been financed by DAAD. The project is closely linked to the efforts undertaken and planned within the GGBC(link is external) project. The project results are aimed at making future standardized assessment of aquatic biodiversity monitoring in Armenia and the Caucasus easier, faster, and more reliable.
