%X IT would be a fair guess that few, if any, readers of Pacific Conservation Biology would have heard of Faunistische Abhandlungen Staatliches Museum f&#xfc;r Tierkunde in Dresden (although thanks to the internet, it is possible to access some of the papers without resort to the resources of a good academic library). Even German conservation researchers are infrequent readers. Sebastian Schuch from the Georg-August-University of G&#xf6;ttingen and his colleagues acknowledge that it was only because of a tip from another colleague, Herbert Nickel, that they discovered an obscure but immensely valuable 1969 paper by H. Schiemenz (Faunistische Abhandlungen Staatliches Museum fur Tierkunde in Dresden 6, 201&#x2013;280). Between 1963 and 1967, Schiemenz had documented meticulously the auchenorrhynchan (a sub-order of the true bugs, Hemiptera) fauna of 48 protected dry, grassland sites in Eastern Germany, and published the full data along with a detailed methodology.
