Transnational American Jewish studies are still in their infancy. This issue of PaRDeS presents current research on the multiple entanglements of American with Central European, especially German-speaking Jewries in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Divergent reference capture makes use of molecular data of one species to enrich target loci in other (related) species. This is particularly valuable for nonmodel organisms, for which often no a priori knowledge exists regarding these loci. Here, we have used targeted capture to obtain data for 809 nuclear coding DNA sequences (CDS) in a nonmodel organism, the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx, using baits designed with the help of the published genome of a related model organism (the domestic cat Felis catus). Using this approach, we were able to survey intraspecific variation at hundreds of nuclear loci in L. lynx across the species' European range. A large set of biallelic candidate SNPs was then evaluated using a high-throughput SNP genotyping platform (Fluidigm), which we then reduced to a final 96 SNP-panel based on assay performance and reliability; validation was carried out with 100 additional Eurasian lynx samples not included in the SNP discovery phase. The 96 SNP-panel developed from CDS performed very successfully in the identification of individuals and in population genetic structure inference (including the assignment of individuals to their source population). In keeping with recent studies, our results show that genic SNPs can be valuable for genetic monitoring of wildlife species.}, language = {en} } @article{JesusSchmidtFickeletal.2022, author = {Jesus, Sonia A. and Schmidt, Anke and Fickel, J{\"o}rns and Doherr, Marcus G. and Boonprasert, Khajohnpat and Thitaram, Chatchote and Sariya, Ladawan and Ratanakron, Parntep and Hildebrandt, Thomas Bernd}, title = {Assessing coagulation parameters in healthy Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus) from European and thai populations}, series = {Animals}, volume = {12}, journal = {Animals}, number = {3}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2076-2615}, doi = {10.3390/ani12030361}, pages = {16}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Simple Summary Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are considered endangered and their population is in continuous decline. Understanding their social interactions, health, and welfare status has been a topic of intense research in recent decades. Coagulation assessments have been underutilized in wildlife but can give valuable information on individual health. This study aims to increase the knowledge of the coagulation status in healthy Asian elephants from different backgrounds and age groups, using a fast point-of-care analyzer. This tool can be further used in either routine health check-ups performed by caretakers or in a clinical emergency, such as in cases of elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus hemorrhagic disease outbreaks. We have also investigated the presence of genomic mutations in one coagulation factor-factor VII-where a disorder was previously reported in an Asian elephant. Hereby, we report new reference values for coagulation parameters, such as coagulation times and fibrinogen concentration of Asian elephants assessed in Thailand and in Europe, as well as several single point mutations found in the exons of Elephas maximus coagulation F7 gene. We found the point-of-care analyzer used in this study to be very practical and user friendly for a zoo and field environment and hope that this project will incentivize further coagulation studies in Asian elephants and in other wildlife species. The Asian elephant population is continuously declining due to several extrinsic reasons in their range countries, but also due to diseases in captive populations worldwide. One of these diseases, the elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) hemorrhagic disease, is very impactful because it particularly affects Asian elephant calves. It is commonly fatal and presents as an acute and generalized hemorrhagic syndrome. Therefore, having reference values of coagulation parameters, and obtaining such values for diseased animals in a very short time, is of great importance. We analyzed prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and fibrinogen concentrations using a portable and fast point-of-care analyzer (VetScan Pro) in 127 Asian elephants from Thai camps and European captive herds. We found significantly different PT and aPTT coagulation times between elephants from the two regions, as well as clear differences in fibrinogen concentration. Nevertheless, these alterations were not expected to have biological or clinical implications. We have also sequenced the coagulation factor VII gene of 141 animals to assess the presence of a previously reported hereditary coagulation disorder in Asian elephants and to investigate the presence of other mutations. We did not find the previously reported mutation in our study population. Instead, we discovered the presence of several new single nucleotide polymorphisms, two of them being considered as deleterious by effect prediction software.}, language = {en} } @article{KlemmeFeldhausPotapkinetal.2021, author = {Klemme, Stephan and Feldhaus, Michael and Potapkin, Vasily and Wilke, Max and Borchert, Manuela and Louvel, Marion and Loges, Anselm and Rohrbach, Arno and Weitkamp, Petra and Welter, Edmund and Kokh, Maria A. and Schmidt, Christian and Testemale, Denis}, title = {A hydrothermal apparatus for x-ray absorption spectroscopy of hydrothermal fluids at DESY}, series = {Review of scientific instruments : a monthly journal devoted to scientific instruments, apparatus, and techniques}, volume = {92}, journal = {Review of scientific instruments : a monthly journal devoted to scientific instruments, apparatus, and techniques}, number = {6}, publisher = {AIP Publishing}, address = {Melville}, issn = {0034-6748}, doi = {10.1063/5.0044767}, pages = {6}, year = {2021}, abstract = {We present a new autoclave that enables in situ characterization of hydrothermal fluids at high pressures and high temperatures at synchrotron x-ray radiation sources.

Future policies and strategies must have a greater focus on the unique ecology of freshwater life and its multiple threats, and now is a critical time to reflect on how this may be achieved. We identify priority topics including environmental flows, water quality, invasive species, integrated water resources management, strategic conservation planning, and emerging technologies for freshwater ecosystem monitoring. We synthesize these topics with decades of first-hand experience and recent literature into 14 special recommendations for global freshwater biodiversity conservation based on the successes and setbacks of European policy, management, and research.

The study sites encompass arid (Pan de Azucar), semiarid (Santa Gracia), mediterranean (La Campana) and humid (Nahuelbuta) climates and vegetation, ranging from arid desert, dominated by biological soil crusts (biocrusts), semiarid shrubland and mediterranean sclerophyllous forest, where biocrusts are present but do have a seasonal pattern to temperate-mixed forest, where biocrusts only occur as an early pioneering development stage after disturbance. All soils originate from granitic parent materials and show very strong differences in pedogenesis intensity and soil depth. Most of the investigated physical, chemical and microbiological soil properties showed distinct trends along the climate gradient. Further, abrupt changes between the arid northernmost study site and the other semi-arid to humid sites can be shown, which indicate non-linearity and thresholds along the climate gradient. Clay and total organic carbon contents (TOC) as well as Ah horizons and solum depths increased from arid to humid climates, whereas bulk density (BD), pH values and base saturation (BS) decreased. These properties demonstrate the accumulation of organic matter, clay formation and element leaching as key-pedogenic processes with increasing humidity. However, the soils in the northern arid climate do not follow this overall latitudinal trend, because texture and BD are largely controlled by aeolian input of dust and sea salts spray followed by the formation of secondary evaporate minerals. Total soil DNA concentrations and TOC increased from arid to humid sites, while areal coverage by biocrusts exhibited an opposite trend. Relative bacterial and archaeal abundances were lower in the arid site, but for the other sites the local variability exceeds the variability along the climate gradient. Differences in soil properties between topographic positions were most pronounced at the study sites with the mediterranean and humid climate, whereas microbial abundances were independent on topography across all study sites. In general, the regional climate is the strongest controlling factor for pedogenesis and microbial parameters in soils developed from the same parent material. Topographic position along individual slopes of limited length augmented this effect only under humid conditions, where water erosion likely relocated particles and elements downward. The change from alkaline to neutral soil pH between the arid and the semi-arid site coincided with qualitative differences in soil formation as well as microbial habitats. This also reflects non-linear relationships of pedogenic and microbial processes in soils depending on climate with a sharp threshold between arid and semi-arid conditions. Therefore, the soils on the transition between arid and semi-arid conditions are especially sensitive and may be well used as indicators of long and medium-term climate changes. Concluding, the unique latitudinal precipitation gradient in the Coastal Cordillera of Chile is predestined to investigate the effects of the main soil forming factor - climate - on pedogenic processes.}, language = {en} } @book{SchmidtWagnerSchwerdtfegeretal.2022, author = {Schmidt, Thorsten Ingo and Wagner, Dieter and Schwerdtfeger, Roswitha and Sch{\"a}fer, Andrea and Musil, Andreas and Edeling, Thomas and Bauer, Hartmut and Kinyakin, Andrey and Loladze, Besik and Nehls, Danny and Maaß, Christian and Kuhlmann, Sabine and Kuckei, Daniel A. and Hein, Victoria and Wille, Robert and Franzke, Jochen and B{\"u}chner, Christiane}, title = {Festschrift f{\"u}r Dr. Christiane B{\"u}chner in W{\"u}rdigung ihres Wirkens am Kommunalwissenschaftlichen Institut (1994-2022)}, series = {KWI Schriften}, journal = {KWI Schriften}, number = {13}, editor = {Franzke, Jochen}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-529-3}, issn = {1867-951X}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-54498}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-544987}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {125}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Diese eher ungew{\"o}hnliche, aber sehr pers{\"o}nlich gehaltene Festschrift ist dem lang­j{\"a}hrigen Wirken von Dr. Christiane B{\"u}chner als „Gesch{\"a}ftsf{\"u}hrerin" am Kommunal­wissenschaftlichen Institut (KWI) der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam gewidmet.
