    Description / Table of Contents: Taxonomy plays a central role in biological sciences. It provides a communication system for scientists as it aims to enable correct identification of the studied organisms. As a consequence, species descriptions should seek to include as much available information as possible at species level to follow an integrative concept of ‘taxonomics’. Here, we describe the cryptic species Epimeria frankei sp. nov. from the North Sea, and also redescribe its sister species, Epimeria cornigera. The morphological information obtained is substantiated by DNA barcodes and complete nuclear 18S rRNA gene sequences. In addition, we provide, for the first time, full mitochondrial genome data as part of a metazoan species description for a holotype, as well as the neotype. This study represents the first successful implementation of the recently proposed concept of taxonomics, using data from high-throughput technologies for integrative taxonomic studies, allowing the highest level of confidence for both biodiversity and ecological research.

    Description / Table of Contents: In diesem Heft sind Beiträge zusammengestellt, die wichtige Prozesse im arktischen Klimasystem beschreiben und die sich auf Prozesse in der Atmosphäre konzentrieren. Die Vorgänge und Veränderungen in der Arktis sind gekoppelt mit dem globalen Klimasystem. Dabei gehen die Wirkungen in beide Richtungen. Großräumige atmosphärische Fernwirkungen, wie Arktische Oszillation (AO), Nordatlantische Oszillation (NAO) oder Pazifik-Nordamerika-Oszillation (PNA), sind Beispiele dieser Kopplungen. Diese beeinflussen die Arktis und die mittleren Breiten und werden andererseits in ihrer Ausprägung von Vorgängen in beiden Regionen beeinflusst. Große ozeanische Strömungssysteme („Conveyor Belt“) verbinden alle Weltmeere. Ein Zweig führt über den Golfstrom und den Nordatlantischen Strom bis in den Arktischen Ozean, wo die Wassermassen durch Abkühlung und Eisbildung modifiziert werden und zum großen Teil als Tiefenwasser in den Nordatlantik zurückkehren und somit zum Antrieb der thermohalinen Zirkulation (THC) beitragen. Aus der Arktis mit der transpolaren Drift durch die Framstraße treibendes Meereis beeinflusst über die Arktis hinaus den Salzgehalt und die Dichteschichtung im Nordatlantik. Abschmelzende Gletscher erhöhen den Meeresspiegel weltweit. Die Arktis ist also kein isoliertes System. Das Wechselspiel aller Komponenten des arktischen Klimasystems miteinander und mit dem globalen Klimasystem ist zu komplex und umfangreich, als dass es in einem Prometheft umfassend abgehandelt werden kann. Wir beschränken uns hier daher auf die Diskussion wichtiger Prozesse in der Atmosphäre und der Wechselwirkung zwischen der Atmosphäre und dem Meereis.

    Description / Table of Contents: The Yukon Coast in Canada is an ice-rich permafrost coast and highly sensitive to changing environmental conditions. Retrogressive thaw slumps are a common thermoerosion feature along this coast, and develop through the thawing of exposed ice-rich permafrost on slopes and removal of accumulating debris. They contribute large amounts of sediment, including organic carbon and nitrogen, to the nearshore zone. The objective of this study was to 1) identify the climatic and geomorphological drivers of sediment-meltwater release, 2) quantify the amount of released meltwater, sediment, organic carbon and nitrogen, and 3) project the evolution of sediment-meltwater release of retrogressive thaw slumps in a changing future climate. The analysis is based on data collected over 18 days in July 2013 and 18 days in August 2012. A cut-throat flume was set up in the main sediment-meltwater channel of the largest retrogressive thaw slump on Herschel Island. In addition, two weather stations, one on top of the undisturbed tundra and one on the…
