After a longer break, the Faunistisch-Ökologische Mitteilungen are published with issue 10 not only in a new look, but also in digital format in Open Access. Further committed to new findings on the distribution and abundance of invertebrates and vertebrates (with the exception of birds) in northern Germany, the current issue includes articles on the first records of Colletes halophilus, Anisodactylus signatus and Formica pressilabris, on remarkable beetle records from flowering areas in Schleswig-Holstein, on camera-based monitoring of the presence and ecology of the dormouse, on the distribution of muntjacs in Schleswig-Holstein and much more.
