Bought by the Gesellschaft in 1912 through the agency of Hugo Obermaier, the material consists of lithic artifacts, artifacts from bone, antler and ivory, personal ornament, faunal remains and pieces of the brecciated archaeological layer(s). The analysis shows that most of the lithic and osseous artifacts fit well into the variability of the Aurignacian. The bone points can formally be attributed to an early Aurignacian, characterized by split-based points, and a later Aurignacian, indicated by the presence of massive-based points. Although Gravettian artifacts have already been identified in one of the collections hosted in other museums, these were restricted to isolated pieces among the osseous industry. The present study for the first time identified not only additional Gravettian pieces among the osseous industry, but at the same time also a small series of Noailles-type burins, several Gravette points, and a bidirectional core alongside a Pavlovian smoother (“Geweihstecher”). The article discusses how these new findings compare to existing hypothesis about the origin of a non-Aurignacian component at the site.</p> <p><strong>Zusammenfassung</strong> - In dem vorliegenden Artikel werden erstmals Artefakte und Faunenreste aus den Ausgrabungen Didons im Abri Blanchard beschrieben, die sich im Archiv der Naturhistorischen Gesellschaft Nürnberg befinden. Das Inventar wurde 1912 nach Vermittlung von Hugo Obermaier angekauft und enthält neben Steinartefakten und Artefakten aus Knochen, Geweih und Elfenbein auch Faunenreste, Schmuckanhänger und Brekzien-Bruchstücke aus der Fundschicht. Die meisten Steinartefakte und Artefakte aus Knochen, Geweih und Elfenbein können in das Aurignacien gestellt werden. Die Geschossspitzen erlauben bei Anwendung der klassischen französischen Gliederung die Unterscheidung eines frühen Aurignacien mit Geschossspitzen mit gespaltener Basis einerseits, und eines entwickelten Aurignacien mit Geschossspitzen mit massiver Basis andererseits. Wie in bereits publizierten Analysen an Altbeständen in Museen in Europa und den Vereinigten Staaten, so konnte auch in dem Nürnberger Inventar eine Gravettien-Komponente erkannt werden. Im Unterschied zu existierenden Untersuchungen liegen hier jedoch nicht nur isolierte Stücke vor, sondern eine Serie von Noailles-Sticheln und Gravette-Spitzen sowie ein großer bidirektionaler Kern. In dem Artikel werden die neuen Erkenntnisse mit bereits vorliegenden Ergebnissen aus älteren Studien verglichen sowie verschiedene Hypothesen zum Vorliegen einer Komponente, die nicht in das Aurignacien gestellt werden kann, diskutiert.</p>

Data from: Feeding habits of the Middle Triassic pseudosuchian Batrachotomus kupferzellensis from Germany and palaeoecological implications for archosaurs
<p>Bite traces on fossil bones are key to deciphering feeding ecology and trophic interactions of vertebrate past ecosystems. However, similarities between traces produced by different carnivorous taxa with similar dentitions and misidentifications due to equifinality hinder confident identifications of the bite makers. Here, we correlate bite traces with macroscopic wear and microanatomy of the teeth of the pseudosuchian archosaur <i>Batrachotomus kupferzellensis</i> from the Triassic Lower Keuper fossil lagerstätten (southern Germany), untangling its feeding habits and shedding light on the bite traces generated by ziphodont teeth (teeth with serrated carinae). Individually, bite traces reflect tooth morphology, whereas composite bite traces and their frequency are related to feeding behaviour and explain tooth macroscopic wear and microanatomy. Therefore the identification of the bite maker is possible by analysing composite bite traces, their location on bones, and their relative abundance. In addition, tooth macroscopic wear and microanatomy are proven as independent lines of evidence of feeding ecology. Comparing bite traces on fossil and present-day bone assemblages, we observe that bone modifications by the crocodylomorph lineage (from Triassic pseudosuchian archosaurs to extinct and extant crocodylians) are strikingly similar, including taxa with and without ziphodont teeth. Such a set of features differs from bone modification assemblages produced by taxa with similar ziphodont teeth outside the pseudosuchian lineage (such as theropod dinosaurs and the Komodo monitor), suggesting a phylogenetic signal in feeding ecology among saurian reptiles. --</p>

COVID-19 lockdown measures impacted citizen science hedgehog observation numbers in Bavaria, Germany
<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has led to temporary changes in human-animal interactions due to changes in human activities. Here we report on a surge in hedgehog observations during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Germany in 2020, on the citizen science web portal 'Igel in Bayern' (Hedgehogs in Bavaria) in Germany. This increase in comparison to previous years could be attributed to an increase in the number of people reporting hedgehog observations, rather than an increase in the number of hedgehog observations done by each observer. Additionally, in contrast to other studies on the effects of a COVID-19 lockdown on observations recorded by Citizen Science projects, the share of observations made in more urbanized areas during the lockdown time was not higher than the change observed in less urbanized areas. This is possibly a result of the differences in COVID-19 measures between Germany and other countries where preceding studies were carried out, in particular the lack of measures limiting outdoor activities for citizens.</p>
Knowledge of returning wildlife species and willingness to participate in citizen science projects among wildlife park visitors in Germany
<p>Successful conservation efforts have led to recent increases of large mammals such as European bison (Bison bonasus), moose (Alces alces) and grey wolf (Canis lupus) and their return to former habitats in central Europe. While embraced by some, the recovery of these species is a controversial topic and holds potential for human-wildlife conflicts. Involving the public has been suggested to be an effective method for monitoring wildlife and mitigating associated conflicts. To assess two interrelated prerequisites for engaging people in Citizen Science (CS) – knowledge of returning species and respondents' readiness to participate in CS activities for monitoring and managing these species – we conducted a survey (questionnaire) in two wildlife parks located in different states of Germany. Based on 472 complete questionaires, we developed generalized linear models to 1) understand how sociodemographic variables and exposure to the species affected visitors' knowledge of each species, and to 2) investigate if sociodemographic variables and knowledge influenced the likelihood of visitors to participate in CS activities. Almost all visitors were aware of the returning wolf population, while knowledge and awareness about bison and moose were significantly lower. Knowledge of the two herbivores differed geographically (higher knowledge of moose in the north-eastern state), possibly indicating a positive association between exposure to the species and knowledge. However, models generally performed poorly in predicting knowledge about wildlife, suggesting that such specific knowledge is insufficiently explained by sociodemographic variables. Our model to explain stated willingness in CS indicated that younger participants and those with higher knowledge scores in the survey were more willing to engage in CS activities. Overall, our analyses highlight how exposure to large mammals, knowledge about wildlife and human demographics are interrelated - insights that are helpful for effectively recruiting citizen scientists for wildlife conservation.</p>
Data from: The skeletal taphonomy of anurans from the Eocene Geiseltal Konservat-Lagerstätte, Germany: insights into the controls on fossil anuran preservation
<p>The Geiseltal biota is a lacustrine-hosted Konservat-Lagerstätte from the Eocene of central Germany. Despite its rich fauna and flora that is represented by at least 50,000 fossil vertebrates, insects and other invertebrates, plants and trace fossils, the taphonomy of the biota is still poorly understood. In particular, the anurans have not been the focus of taphonomic investigation. Here, we analysed the skeletal taphonomy of 168 anurans from Geiseltal and scored each specimen for orientation, completeness and articulation. Most specimens are partial skeletons that were truncated during preparation. This process introduces measurable artefacts into the taphonomic data and should be assessed in future taphonomic studies on fossil vertebrates. The Geiseltal anurans show several recurring taphonomic states, including disarticulation or loss of abdominal bones, loss of one or more limbs, extensive disarticulation and extensive loss of elements across the body. Relatively rare taphonomic states include loss of distal limb elements only, scattered bones and isolated, articulated limbs. These data are the basis of a new taphonomic model for the Geiseltal anurans. Comparative analysis of patterns in completeness and articulation in these specimens and in fossil anurans from other Cenozoic Lagerstätten reveals repeated taphonomic patterns in anuran preservation in lacustrine-hosted settings, such as proximal to distal trends in completeness, preferential loss of small peripheral bones, disarticulation of abdominal bones and reorientation of major body regions and limbs. The taphonomic controls in lacustrine systems are surface water temperature, lake depth, vegetation, exposure to bottom currents, transport mechanisms, extent of scavenging, decay regime, bone size and bone location in the skeleton. In turn, these are ultimately controlled by palaeoclimate, lake physiography and hydrology, and anuran anatomy. A universal approach to quantitative analysis of skeletal taphonomy metrics will allow comparative testing of the relationship between preservation and palaeoenvironment for diverse fossil vertebrates.</p>
Data from: A Miopetaurista (Sciuridae, Rodentia) cranium from the middle Miocene of Bavaria (Germany) and brain evolution in flying squirrels
<p>Flying squirrels (Sciurinae, Pteromyini) are the most successful group of gliding mammals. However, their fossil record mostly consists of isolated dental remains which provide very limited insights into their paleobiology and evolution. Only recently, the first skeleton of a fossil flying squirrel, belonging to the species <em>Miopetaurista neogrivensis</em>, has been described. It presents all the diagnostic gliding-related postcranial features of its extant relatives and shows that this group has undergone very little morphological change for almost 12 million years. However, the associated cranium is badly crushed, so particular details of the cranial morphology cannot be described. Here we describe a well-preserved cranium of the closely-related <em>Miopetaurista crusafonti</em> from 12.5–12.0 Ma from Bavaria (Germany). Its cranial morphology is found to be almost identical to extant large flying squirrels, even in details such as the position of the foramina. The virtual endocast also shows close affinities to living large flying squirrels in morphology and in the relative volume of different brain regions, showing diagnostic features such as the size reduction of petrosal lobules and olfactory bulbs. However, the encephalization quotient (EQ) and neocortical ratio are lower than observed in extant flying squirrels. EQ is known to increase through time in squirrels, but might also be related to locomotion, as arboreal and gliding squirrels display higher EQs than terrestrial ones. Because <em>Miopetaurista</em> was certainly a glider, its comparatively lower EQ and neocortical size support the existence of an independent trend of increasing EQ and neocortical complexity in this flying squirrel subclade.</p>

Comparison of mosquitoes and fly derived DNA as a tool for sampling vertebrate biodiversity in suburban forests in Berlin, Germany
<p><span>The use of invertebrate-derived DNA (iDNA) is a promising non-invasive tool to monitor wildlife. While most studies have been carried out in dense tropical and sub-tropical forests and have focused on the use of a single category of invertebrates, this study compares the use of flies- and mosquito-derived DNA to assess vertebrate diversity in semi-urban environments. We conducted our sampling in four different forest plots in Berlin, Germany. Pools of flies and non-bloodfed mosquitoes were metabarcoded using 108 bp vertebrate-specific 12S rRNA (12S-V5) and 94 bp mammal-specific 16S rRNA (16Smam) mitochondrial markers, and individual bloodfed mosquitoes were sequenced using the 340 bp vertebrate-specific 12S rRNA fragment (Mam-12S-340). From the fly pools, we detected 10 mammal species using 16Smam, while 12S-V5 detected four bird, two amphibian and six mammal species. From the non-bloodfed mosquito pools, we only amplified putative contaminant DNA, indicating that mosquito females without visual signs of a blood meal carry no traces of vertebrate DNA. Finally, in the bloodfed mosquitoes, we identified four mammal and one bird species. Focusing on mammal species, we did not find significant differences in the proportion of species detected regarding the total available number of species between sampling localities. Fly samples were easier to obtain and more abundant over the sampled localities compared to mosquito samples. We conclude that, while there are a few advantages in using mosquito blood meals, the use of flies in the detection of wildlife in a suburban environment is more effective in terms of collection of samples and detection of vertebrates, although this technique is limited to few mammal species in the urban environment. </span></p>
