In sieben Naturparks sowie drei Naturschutzgebieten in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern wurden in einer, auf Spinnen ausgerichteten saisonalen Aufnahme mit Bodenfallen mit gebietsweise unterschiedlichem Fangaufwand (April bis Oktober 2017 und April bis September 2018) insgesamt 377 Kurzflügelkäfer in 83 Arten nachgewiesen. An den feuchten und trockenen Fallenstandorten wurden hauptsächlich laufaktive, größere Arten (Staphylininae: Staphylinina) nachgewiesen. Die kleinen und artenreichen Aleocharinae waren im Vergleich dazu deutlich unterrepräsentiert. Faunistisch bemerkenswert für das Bundesland und seine Naturparks sind die Nachweise folgender 12 Arten: Zyras collaris (Paykull, 1800), Astenus immaculatus Stephens, 1833, Rugilus angustatus (Geoffroy, 1785), Quedius nigriceps Kraatz, 1857, Q. suturalis Kiesenwetter, 1845, Ocypus aeneocephalus (DeGeer, 1774), O. fuscatus (Gravenhorst, 1802), Platydracus fulvipes (Scopoli, 1763), P. latebricola (Gravenhorst, 1806), Staphylinus dimidiaticornis Gemminger, 1851, Tasgius globulifer (Geoffroy, 1785) und T. winkleri (Bernhauer, 1906). Einerseits belegt das Vorkommen von überregional seltenen Käferarten die besondere Bedeutung der naturräumlichen Ausstattung der Naturparks. Andererseits besteht damit eine wesentliche Verantwortung, die ausgewiesenen Gebiete möglichst naturnah zu belassen und den Einfluss des Menschen einzuschränken. In seven nature parks and three nature reserves in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, rove beetles were captured with pitfall traps originally designed for assessing spiders during several seasons (April to October 2017 and April to September 2018). With sampling effort varying among locations, 377 rove beetles out of 83 species were recorded. At the wet and dry sampling locations, larger species (Staphylininae: Staphylinina) were recorded that are mainly running-active runners. In comparison, the small and speciose Aleocharinae were clearly underrepresented. Records of the following 12 species are faunistically remarkable for the federal state and its nature parks: Zyras collaris (Paykull, 1800), Astenus immaculatus Stephens, 1833, Rugilus angustatus (Geoffroy, 1785), Quedius nigriceps Kraatz, 1857, Q. suturalis Kiesenwetter, 1845, Ocypus aeneocephalus (DeGeer, 1774), O. fuscatus (Gravenhorst, 1802), Platydracus fulvipes (Scopoli, 1763), P. latebricola (Gravenhorst, 1806), Staphylinus dimidiaticornis Gemminger, 1851, Tasgius globulifer (Geoffroy, 1785) und T. winkleri (Bernhauer, 1906). On the one hand, the presence of widely rare beetle species attests the high value of the nature-specific endowment of the nature parks. On the other hand, following from this it is a strong obligation to leave the focal areas as naturally intact as possible, and to restrict human impact.

Es werden Nachweise von 80 Arten der Kurzflügelkäfer in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern zwischen 1992 und 2020 dokumentiert sowie die Verbreitung und Häufigkeit verschiedener Arten diskutiert. Fünf Arten sind neu für die Fauna des Bundeslandes: Atheta aquatilis (Thomson, 1867), A. clientula (Erichson, 1839), A. sodermani Bernhauer, 1931, Paederus caligatus (Erichson, 1840) und Xantholinus elegans (Olivier, 1795). Für ausgewählte seltene Arten wird die Gemeinschaft der Begleitarten aus Gesiebeproben sehr verschiedener Habitate bzw. Strukturen charakterisiert. Der Vergleich des Arteninventars belegt den ökologischen Wert der feuchten bis trockenen Lebensräume und zeigt, welcher Aufwand zu leisten ist, um sowohl das aktuelle Arteninventar des Gebietes als auch Veränderungen in seiner Fauna registrieren zu können. Die Komplexität dieser Aufgabe liegt einerseits in der Arealerweiterung von Arten; andererseits im gleichzeitigen Verschwinden von Arten, der hauptsächlich durch den Verlust verschiedenster Lebensraumtypen verursacht wird. New and remarkable records of rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) from Mecklenburg- Vorpommern, Northeast Germany. Part 7. Abstract: In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, 80 species of rove beetles were recorded between 1992 and 2020. Distribution and abundance of various species are discussed. Five species are new to the fauna of the federal state: Atheta aquatilis (Thomson, 1867), A. clientula (Erichson, 1839), A. sodermani Bernhauer, 1931, Paederus caligatus (Erichson, 1840) and Xantholinus elegans (Olivier, 1795). For selected rare species, the community of accompanying species is characterized from sieve samples of most varied habitats or structures. A comparison of the species inventory proves the ecological value of wet to dry habitats, and shows the effort that needs to be made to register both the current species inventory of the area and its changes in time. The complexity of this task lies, on the one hand, in an expansion of the range of species and, on the other hand, in a simultaneous disappearance of species, mainly caused by the loss of various habitat types.

We present the first lizard species list for the municipality of Juruti, state of Pará, Brazil. The list was drawn up as a result of data obtained from specimens deposited in the Herpetological Collection of the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi and from inventories conducted in 2008-2011. Sampling methods included pitfall traps with drift fences and time constrained searches. We considered the data collected by other researchers, incidental encounters and records of dead individuals on the road. We recorded 33 species, 26 genera and ten families. Norops tandai was the most abundant species. Compared with the other regions of Amazonia, the region of Juruti presented a large number of lizards. However, further studies with an increase in the sampling effort, could prove this area to be richer in lizards than that observed so far.

Ecological Requirements

The number of remarkable species on a locality is an important indicator of locality value. The ecological requirements of the rare species may help to target correct landscape management activities. Our objective was to find out if standardly used capture methods for different group of invertebrate are able to detect really representative composition of species including rare taxa. Our experiment was carried out at the Moravský kras Protected Landscape Area (Macošská and Vilémovická stráň slope) where secondary dry grasslands are typical for each investigated locality. We used five groups of invertebrates (spiders, ground beetles, rove beetles, leaf beetles and weevils) and three capture methods (pitfall traps, sweeping on vegetation and yellow Möricke traps). Arthropods were determined and classified according to their rarity. Using the three capture methods, we obtained in total 127 spider species (Areneae), 31 ground beetle species (Carabidae), 29 rove beetle species (Staphylinide), 52 leaf beetle species (Chrysomelidae) and 55 weevil species (Curculionidae).Results showed that the different capture methods significantly influenced number of detected remarkable species. It was statistically proved for spiders (P = 0.025), weevils (P = 0.038) and marginally also for rove beetles (P = 0.051). Spiders of climax (C species) and semi-natural (SN species) habitats were rather detected by pitfall traps, whereas spiders of disturbed habitats were collected by sweeping on vegetation and Möricke yellow pans eventually. Relict species of weevils (R species) were detected by pitfall traps, typical species (T species) were collected by Möricke yellow pans and expansive species (E species) were found by sweeping on vegetation.

Political Understanding

Uganda's Independence Constitution, which came into force on October 9th, 1962, was the culmination of long negotiation in an attempt to reconcile the conflicting interests of Buganda, the western kingdoms and Busoga on the one hand, and the rest of the country on the other, and the result was a delicate compromise between a unitary and a federal state—the fruit of a political understanding between the Uganda Peoples Congress and the Buganda traditionalists. As in the following years rifts first appeared and then steadily widened in the alliance between the Uganda Peoples Congress and the Kabaka Yekka—between radical and traditionalist— the survival of the Constitution in its original form appeared more and more doubtful. In fact, however, the Constitution survived for over three years with only three amending Acts, the first and most important of these making provision for the substitution of a President for a Governor-General in October, 1963.

AbstractNowadays, relationships between nonhuman animals and humans are debated, often in relation to issues associated with the risks they represent for each other. On the one hand, new diseases and accidents indicate that animals are not as innocuous as they were long thought; on the other hand, the now questioned human impact on the natural environment is considered a risk for animals. This research analyzed these contrasting images of animals in the Swiss information media. Of the five main animal figures identified over the last 30 years, this paper focuses on the Undesirable Animal and the Victim Animal. These two figures have existed throughout the observed period; in contrast to Victim Animals, however, who appear fairly infrequently, Undesirable Animals have become more and more common in the last decade, usually in relation to a specific issue (such as the avian flu). This suggests that the media more often convey the dominant anthropocentric relationship to animals, reflecting a preoccupation with the protection of humans against dangerous animals, whereas the protection of animals from humans is considered less important. Recent controversies demonstrate, however, that the frontier between “us” and “them” is regularly renegotiated.

Background. Insect neuropeptides are interesting for the potential their receptors hold as plausible targets for a novel generation of pesticides. Neuropeptide genes have been identified in a number of different species belonging to a variety of insects. Results suggest significant neuropeptide variation between different orders, but much less is known of neuropeptidome variability within an insect order. I therefore compared the neuropeptidomes of a number of Coleoptera. Methodology. Publicly available genome sequences, transcriptomes and the original sequence data in the form of short sequence read archives (SRAs) were analyzed for the presence or absence of genes coding neuropeptides as well as some neuropeptide receptors in seventeen beetle species. Results. Significant differences exist between the Coleoptera analyzed here, while many neuropeptides that were previously characterized from Tribolium castaneum appear very similar in all species, some are not and others are lacking in one or more species. On the other hand, leucokinin, which was presumed to be universally absent from Coleoptera, is still present in non-Polyphaga beetles. Conclusion. The variability in neuropeptidome composition between insect species from from the same insect order may be as large as the one that exists between species from different orders.

The complexity of the economic aspects of federal relations and the multidimensional nature of management tasks predetermines the need to comprehend the essence of the system of federalism. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to substantiate a model that, on the one hand, considers federalism as the concept of the creation and functioning of the state system and as a way of managing the economy of the federal state on the other. Application of an evolutionary methodological approach allowed the author to divide the fundamental theories of federalism into two groups: the one examines federalism as a power paradigm, focuses on the federal principles of building a state, political and legal status The other examines federalism as a mechanism for coordinating the economic interests of its participants from the position of providing resources for fulfilling the assigned state functions at each level of the federal structure. The first group of fundamental works allows us to single out the essential features of federal relations. The second group of works made it possible to determine the economic principles of the functioning of federalism relations. Based on the highlighted features and principles of economic relations of federalism the article presents the author’s view of the dual subject essence of the state. Firstly, as a carrier of federal relations as a construct that structures and formats the territorial-state structure, as a mechanism of management and organization that sets the formal conditions for the reproduction of the subjects of the federal state based on the possession of power. Secondly, as an actor, one of the participants in the economic cycle of reproduction of the gross regional product based on the resources of the public sector. The proposed binary representation of the state allows us to show not only its creating role in the system of economic federalism, but also includes the goals of the regional economy in the federal system.

Coronavirus pandemic in 2020 shock the entire world. Some countries with federal system have troubles, because the results of their functioning in the new conditions was inconsistent: some countries showed a low level of fatality from the coronavirus in general controlled the situation, but others had the highest incidence and in the background – the destabilization of the socio-economic and even political situation. The article analyzes the main trends of global development in the context of a pandemic, foreign and domestic experience of functioning of system of public authorities on federal, regional and local levels, measures to ensure the smooth operation of public authorities at all levels in a pandemic, as well as problems in the functioning of public authorities in the new conditions. This allows us to conclude that federal state system, on the one hand, has its advantages in countering these threats, including the possibility of a differentiated approach to different territories, well-established mechanisms of interaction between the levels of public power, and, on the other hand, it is characterized by a some types of risks, such as an imbalance of power, authority and resources in the federal system and a lag in making the necessary decision. It may be the reason of sharp decline in the pace of socio-economic development and the situation in the regions out of the control of the federal authorities. In the context of a pandemic, there are certain problems associated with insufficient coordination between levels of government, but they can be overcome through the use of various management mechanisms.

Water has always been the key element of human development, quality of life, and transportation in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). While seemingly abundant when irrigation was first developed in the 19th Century, today many PNW rivers are fully allocated, leading to conflict in times of drought, a situation which may be exacerbated by the effects of climate change. In the PNW, water is managed by an array of Federal, State, and non-governmental entities, each with its own perspective and mission. This paper discusses the relative merits of solutions based on supporting market mechanisms through improved definition of water rights on the one hand, and authoritative mandates on the other.
