It demonstrates that sheep were introduced into central Europe during the Neolithic in two different ways and that both stocks had different genetic structures. An eastern population spread from the Balkan Peninsula via Austria to the north, yielding a mixture of a dominant haplogroup B with a stable minority of haplogroup A. Another population reached central Europe from a western route via Italy and France, consisting of sheep with haplogroup B exclusively. The analyses do not support the hypothesis of two subsequent dispersal events of sheep, first with hairy sheep, second with woolly sheep. We found no indication of the emergence of a new kind of sheep; in contrast, the prehistoric distribution of the haplogroups is stable when compared to modern times. Based on these results, it is likely that the development of woolly sheep were multiple and independent events.

closer relationship between the Russian and Northern European populations compared to the Hungarian population, implying that the latter belongs to an older ancestral population. This was supported by the observed haplotype network and higher nucleotide diversity in this population. The genetic structuring observed in the Danish/German pond bat stresses the need for a cross‐border management between
the two countries. Further, the pronounced mtDNA structuring, together with the indicated migration between nearby populations suggest philopatric female behavior but male migration, emphasizes the importance of protecting suitable habitat mosaics to maintain a continuum of patches with dense pond bat populations across the species’ distribution range.
New aDNA analyses and morphological investigations of Stone Age to modern sturgeon remains allow a detailed reconstruction of the range history of European sturgeon (Acipenser sturio) and Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) in Western and Central Europe. Already during the early Holocene, А. oxyrinchus existed in this area. From Western France, with rising sea level the species spread successively towards the north, reaching the North Sea in mid-Holocene, and migrated in the course of its development into the young Baltic Sea. In contrast, А. sturio survived the last Ісе Age probably in Ibегіап waters and dispersed first during the mid-Holocene into the Biscayan. Somewhat later the species reached the southern North Sea, but apart from vagrants it did not occur further north. Only in the last 500 years, after being stable for at least 5000 years, the situation changed significantly, since the European sturgeon spread massively into the North Sea, became the by far dominant sturgeon species there and restricted the Atlantic sturgeon to the Baltic Sea.

This kind of structure develops when a pair of buds of the creeping zooid (autozooid or kenozooid of rhyzoidal tube) come into contact with each other by lateral sides. Such a contact causes a redefinition of primary basofrontal polarity of buds and changes the direction of their growth. The surfaces of contact between buds become basal walls of zooids resulting in the formation of an erect branch.
