En este catálogo provisional se recogen las malaeofaunas arqueológicas asociadas a ocupaciones humanas de la Península Ibérica. Se incluyen un total de 142 análisis malacológicos, y un anexo de 68 yacimientos donde los conjuntos son estrictamente ornament.tles o se encuentran en fase de estudio. Se encuentran reseñadas casi 200 especies de moluscos marinas, de agua dulce y terrestres. Además se ofrecen datos inéditos de 6 yacimientos (Abrigo de la Peila del Perro, Tennas romanas de Gijón, Cabezo Pequeño del Estaño, Pico Ramos, Almontc y La Viña). Consideramos que un trabajo de estas características resulta imprescindible en el actual estado de conocimiento arqueozoológico en la Península Ibérica y confiamos en que el catálogo se convierta en una referencia básica en estudios futuros.
Die Literaturstudie befasst sich mit Bewertungsmöglichkeiten der Natürlichkeit von Ökosystemen anhand biotischer und abiotischer Merkmale verschiedener Kompartimente. Schwerpunktmäßig wird die Indikatoreignung des Bodens berücksichtigt. Es wird festgestellt, dass durch die meisten Untersuchungsansätze nur der aktuelle Zustand der Ökosystemkompartimente oder ihre Beziehungen untereinander und damit der Hemorobiegrad des Systems (des Bestandes) abgeschätzt werden können. Demgegenüber ist die Analyse von Bodeneigenschaften geeignet, die Natürlichkeit auch in historischer Perspektive, also die Naturnähe i. e. S., festzustellen. Vor dem Hintergrund des mehrstufigen biologischen Diversitätskonzeptes von Whittaker (1972) wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob sich im Hinblick auf die einzelnen Kompartimente (1) das Auftreten spezifischer Merkmale (Merkmalspräsenz), (2) die Intensität, Menge, Abundanz (Merkmalsausprägung), (3) die Variabilität des Merkmals (alpha-Ebene) und (4) die räumliche Heterogenität bzw. Verteilung des Merkmals (beta-Ebene) zur Bewertung von Natürlichkeit eignen. Die genetische Variabilität der bestandesbildenden Baumart kann ein Merkmal für Naturnähe und Autochthonie sein, wenn die jeweilige Populationsbiologie berücksichtigt wird. In der Literatur werden tierische und pilzliche Urwaldzeigerarten beschrieben, während sich einzelne Gefäßpflanzen sowie die Artenanzahl (alpha- von Pflanzen, Pilzen und Tieren nicht zur Indikation eignen. Eine geklumpte Verteilung biologischer Arten (beta-Diversität) innerhalb des Ökosystems stellt ein gutes Natürlichkeitskriterium dar. Bei den Kompartimenten Bestandesstruktur und Boden können sehr viele Merkmale verschiedener Hierarchieebenen herangezogen werden, um Natürlichkeit abzuschätzen. Da Bodendiversität und -heterogenität i. d. R. verschiedene Ursachen haben, werden diese in ihrem Bezug zu Naturnähe bzw. Hemerobie erläutert. Keywords: naturalness, genetics, flora, fauna, fungies, stand structure, soil properties, α-diversity, β-diversity, variability, heterogeneity, autocorrelation, archive function
The spider collection of the Zoological Museum of the Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection was studied during the summer of 2014. A total of 180 specimens, belonging to 25 families, 60 genera and 77 species were documented. Of these, the following nine species could be recorded from Iran for the first time: Alopecosa schmidti (Hahn, 1835), Anyphaena accentuata (Walckenaer, 1802), Crustulina sticta (O. P.-Cambridge, 1861), Enoplognatha mordax (Thorell, 1875), Ero tuberculata (De Geer, 1778), Salticus zebraneus (C. L. Koch, 1837), Pardosa aenigmatica Tongiorgi, 1966, Pardosa nebulosa (Thorell, 1872) and Tmarus piochardi (Simon, 1866). Morphological and geographical data are provided for the newly recorded species.

An annotated list of twenty species of rarely collected and little known bees of the genus Sphecodes Latreille, 1804 (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Halictidae) from the Himalayas is given. Sphecodes bluethgeni sp. nov. is described from Bhutan. Three species are newly recorded from the Himalayas: S. binghami Blüthgen, 1924, S. kershawi Perkins, 1921 and S. laticeps Meyer, 1920. Based on type specimens, new synonymies have been proposed for Sphecodes cameronii (Bingham, 1897) = S. armeniacus Warncke, 1992 syn. nov.; S. gibbus (Linnaeus, 1758) = S. indicus Bingham, 1898 syn. nov.; and S. invidus (Cameron, 1897) = S. nigrobasalis Meyer, 1922 syn. nov. A lectotype is designated for Sphecodes sikkimensis Blüthgen, 1927. Illustrated keys to males and females of all species known from the Himalayas and an updated checklist of the 26 Himalayan species of Sphecodes are provided. Additionally, one new species from neighboring Uttar Pradesh (India), Sphecodes uttaricus sp. nov., is here described as new and included due to its close relationship to the Himalayan S. sikkimensis Blüthgen, 1927.
Phnom Kulen is a small and low plateau in the northern Cambodia still partly covered with evergreen forests and isolated from similar habitats by the Cambodian Lowland at least for 60 km. A preliminary checklist of its Odonata is provided, including 97 species. Burmagomphus sp. cf. willamsoni and Macromia callisto are for the first time reported for Cambodia.
Prey Long (Prey Lang) Forest is the largest remaining lowland rainforest in Indochina, shared by Stung Treng, Preah Vihear, Kampong Thom and Kratie Provinces of Cambodia, which has been persisted until present because of the lack of roads. It includes patches of unique evergreen swamp forests. Odonata of Prey Long forest, including Cheum Takong forest swamp, was briefly examined in December 2019, while the already deforested area was examined in June 2018. The former examination resulted in 40 species, the latter in 34 species, 60 species in total. Two species, Copera chantaburii Asahina, 1984 and Burmagomphus williamsoni Förster, 1914, are for the first time reported for Cambodia from the deforested area (Chey Saen District of Preah Vihear Province). The swamped forest of Cheum Takong provided 17 species, 5 of which were not found elsewhere in the considered area, 3 are rare and 4 generally Sondaic. Prey Long Forest should be re-examined in the rainy season soon after the road to Spong village is constructed.
