Stabile Isotopenanalyse der Nahrung von Elateridenlarven

Die Nahrungswahl von Drahtwürmern (Coleoptera: Elateridae) im Agrarland und ihre Beeinflussung durch Umweltfaktoren analysiert mittels Stabiler Isotope. Als Drahtwürmer werden die Larven der Schnellkäfer (Coleoptera: Elateridae) bezeichnet, welche häufig in Agrarböden anzutreffen sind. Die meisten Drahtwurmarten sind polyphag und fressen neben Wurzeln auch abgestorbenes Pflanzenmaterial. Bestimmte Arten treten jedoch weltweit als bedeutende Schädlinge an verschiedensten Kulturpflanzen auf. Es wird angenommen, dass bestimmte Bodenparameter (z.B. Humusgehalt, Feuchte) und die Fruchtfolge die Nahrungswahl der Drahtwürmer entscheidend beeinflussen. Im Freiland konnten diese Beziehungen bis heute jedoch nicht nachgewiesen werden. Ein besseres Verständnis der Wechselwirkung zwischen diesen Faktoren und der Nahrungswahl der Drahtwürmer würde aber die Einschätzung der tatsächlichen Rolle bestimmter Drahtwurmarten erheblich erleichtern und eine Basis für die Vorhersage und Kontrolle von Drahtwurmschäden darstellen. Im vorliegenden Projekt wird erstmals die Stabile-Isotopen-Methode angewandt, um die Nahrungswahl von Elateridenlarven zu untersuchen. Dabei geben die unter Freilandbedingungen gewonnenen Isotopendaten der Drahtwürmer darüber Auskunft, von welchen Nahrungssubstraten sich diese Tiere ernähren. Zusätzliche Laborexperimente ergänzen die Befunde aus dem Freiland und helfen bei ihrer Interpretation. Um allgemeine Aussagen über die Nahrungswahl von Drahtwürmern in Mitteleuropa zu erhalten, werden verschiedenste Standorte in Österreich und Deutschland beprobt. Weiters wird das Nahrungswahlverhalten mit bestimmten Bodenparametern in Beziehung gesetzt, um zu analysieren, wie diese Parameter die Nahrungswahl der Drahtwürmer und ihr Schadpotential beeinflussen. Die Ergebnisse dieses Projektes stellen damit eine Basis für alle weiteren Schritte zur Entwicklung von Regulationsmaßnahmen bei Drahtwürmern dar.

Spatial characterization of the composition of the isotope hydrobiogeochemistry along the Warnow River

A spatial study of the isotopic hydrobiogeochemical composition along the the Warnow River, which drains into the southern Baltic Sea, was carried out. The sampling took place on 29-30 April 2019 from the source up to the estuary. In addition to in situ physico-chemical parameters, surface water was sampled using a telescopic rod and a plastic beaker and preserved for further analysis. Major and trace elements and selected nutrients were measured using an ICP-OES (iCAP, 7400, Duo Thermo Fischer Scientific). Ammonium (NH4) and nitrate (NO3) concentrations were measured using a QuAAtro autoanalyzer system. Chloride (Cl) concentrations were measured by electrical potential difference precipitation with 0.05 M AgNO3. Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and δ13CDIC were measured using an isotope gas mass spectrometer (MAT 253) coupled to a Gasbench II. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and δ13CDOC using an Elementar iso TOC cube with Thermo Electron MAT 253 mass spectrometry, δ18OH2O, and δ2HH2O using a CRDS system (laser cavity-ring-down-spectroscopy, Picarro L2140- I). δ34S and δ18O of SO4 using a gas-isotope mass spectrometer MAT253 (Thermo-Finnigan) with EA-Isolink (Thermo-Fisher-Scientific).

Information and meterological data of collection sites of land snails from Europe

The first table provide data on the meteorological conditions of the sites where land snails were collected, and the calculated stable oxygen isotope compositions of local rainwater.

Stable carbon, oxygen and clumped isotope data of land snails from natural populations across Europe

These data include carbon, oxygen and clumped isotope compositions of shells of natural populations of three land snail species (Clausilia pumila, Succinella oblonga and Trochulus hispidus) across Europe. δ¹³C, δ¹⁸O and Δ₄₇ values of snail shells from field-collections were determined in two laboratories (Institute for Nuclear Research, Debrecen, and Geological Institute, ETH Zürich) using IRMS. Detailed analysis and interpretations of the results obtained can be read in the original publication.

Meterological and stable carbon, oxygen and clumped isotope data of land snails from Europe

These data include site information and collection dates of land snails (Clausilia pumila, Succinella oblonga, Trochulus hispidus), meteorological data of collection sites using the ClimateEU software, as well as carbon, oxygen and clumped isotope compositions of snail shells of the mentioned three species from culturing experiments and natural populations across Europe. During the laboratory experiments at the University of Lodz (Poland) individuals of the three species were kept at 12, 18 and 24 °C temperatures in climate chambers, fed exclusively by fresh lettuce and humidity was controlled using tap water (δ¹⁸O: -9.29 ±0.52 ‰, V-SMOW). δ¹³C, δ¹⁸O and Δ₄₇ values of snail shells from lab experiments and field-collections were determined in two laboratories (Institute for Nuclear Research, Debrecen, and Geological Institute, ETH Zürich) using IRMS.

Geochemistry of surface water of Wismar Bay (Germany), southern Baltic Sea

This investigation was carried out in order to evaluate diagenetic element fluxes and different fresh water sources, including submarine groundwater discharge, on the water column of the Wismar Bay (Germany), southern Baltic Sea. Surface and bottom water samples were collected on board of the RV Littorina (L19-06) and a rubber boat by using a submersible pump in May 2019. The water was pumped through a filter cartridge (1 µM pore size) into barrels. Water samples from the barrels were pumped through manganese-coated acrylic fibers to extract radium (Ra) isotopes (223Ra, 224Ra). The Ra isotopes were measured within 3 and 10 days using radium-delayed coincidence counters (RaDeCC). Subsamples were taken via syringe and filtered (0.45 µM, cellulose acetate disposable filters) for analysis of dissolved concentrations of major and trace elements and selected nutrients using ICP-OES (iCAP, 7400, Duo Thermo Fischer Scientific), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and δ13CDIC using isotope gas mass spectrometry (MAT 253 coupled to a Gasbench II), and δ18OH2O, δ2HH2O using a CRDS system (laser cavity-ring-down-spectroscopy, PICARRO L2140- I).

Geochemistry of sediments from Wismar Bay (Germany), southern Baltic Sea

Short sediment cores were taken at six stations in Wismar Bay, southern Baltic Sea (Germany) in May 2019 using a Rumohr-Lot device. Our aim in this study was to investigate the role of diagenetic element fluxes and different fresh water sources, including submarine groundwater discharge, on the water column in the bay. Porewaters were extracted from the sediment cores by applying the rhizon technique at a resolution between 2 and 5 cm. The porewaters were analyzed for major and trace metals and selected nutrients using a ICP-OES (iCAP, 7400, Duo Thermo Fischer Scientific), total sulphide by a Specord 40 spectrophotometer (Analytik Jena), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and δ13CDIC using an isotope gas mass spectrometre (MAT 253) coupled to a Gasbench II, and δ18OH2O, and δ2HH2O using a CRDS system (laser cavity-ring-down-spectroscopy, Picarro L2140- I). Sediment cores were further sliced at 2 to 4 cm resolution and each freeze-dried solid subsample was analyzed for contents of total carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur using an Elemental Analyzer (Euro Vector EuroEA 3, 052), inorganic carbon using an Elemental Analyzer multi EA (Analytik Jena), total mercury by a DMA-80 analyzer, and HCl-extractable Pb, Mn and Fe using an ICP-OES (iCAP, 7400, Duo Thermo Fischer Scientific).
