The conference was held in the small southern German town of Irsee in a former monastery. Outside, the ground was covered in snow. Inside there were 48 talks and 81 participants. The six main lectures were as follows: This volume contains 18 papers based on the talks given. They may be divided into six categories with their numbers of papers as follows:

Observations of shadow bands at the total solar eclipse of 16 February 1980.

Photoelectric observations of short term light variations (shadow bands) at the 16 Feb. 1980 total solar eclipse have been made using a set of spatially separated PIN diodes. Light variations in a bandpass of 1-500 Hz were detected during the half-minutes preceding and following the total phase. Fourier analysis of the noise spectrum of the variations reveals a sharp drop-off for frequencies ab...

16 February, 2006

By studying animal movements, researchers can gain insight into many of the 20 ecological characteristics and processes important for understanding population-level dynamics. 21 We developed a Brownian bridge movement model (BBMM) for estimating the expected 22 movement path of an animal using discrete location data obtained at relatively short time 23 intervals. The BBMM is based on the proper...
