Lukas und Marike. Mein herzlicher Dank richtet sich an Steffen Höll für seinen großen Einsatz bei der Gewinnung von Sequenzdaten und vor allem für sein besonderes Interesse an der vorliegenden Thematik und die daraus resultierenden gemeinsamen Diskussionen.
Bei der phylogenetischen Auswertung der molekularen Datensätze haben mich außerdem Anna Hundsdörfer (Senckenberg Museum für Tierkunde Dresden) und Lars Opgenoorth (Universität Marburg) unterstützt. Ich hoffe, dass ich die Möglichkeit haben werde, mit diesem hervorragenden Team noch viele weitere Laufkäfer-Phylogeographien zu erarbeiten.
Die Zeit, die ich mit Rucksack und Zelt im Himalaya fernab der Zivilisation verbracht habe, summiert sich auf Jahre. Dass alle diese Expeditionen mit wertvollen Materialsammlungen endeten und trotz aller erdenklichen Abenteuer immer gut ausgingen, habe ich nicht zuletzt meinen nepalesischen Helfern zu verdanken, allen voran Santos Tamang. Auch mein langjähriger Reisegefährte Olaf Jäger (Museum für Tierkunde Dresden) hat wesentlich zum Gelingen dieser Expeditionen beigetragen. Der Anstoß für eine Erforschung der Laufkäfer Nepals geht auf meinen Freund Matthias Hartmann (Naturkundemuseum Erfurt) zurück. Von Matthias und Olaf erhielt ich alle nur denkbare Unterstützung, die ich über die vielen Jahre Freizeitforschung im Himalaya benötigte. In Tibet haben mir neben Torstein vor allem Pubu, Sonam Tso und Tsering geholfen, meine Feldarbeiten erfolgreich durchzuführen.
Last but not least, bedanke ich mich bei den Mitarbeitern im Fachbereich Geographie der Universität Marburg für die unkomplizierte Gewährung der vielen Extrawünsche aufgrund meines Arbeitsplatzes im fernen Rostock. Ganz besonders herzlich bedanke ich mich bei Frau Christina Philippi für ihre beständige Unterstützung und unproblematische Hilfe zur Bewältigung der Bürokratie. Frau Christiane Enderle hat außerdem für die vorliegende Studie hervorragende Kartengrundlagen erarbeitet. Auf diesen basieren die Abbildungen 8-9, 13-14 und 21-28.
