Iceland, the land of volcanoes and elves hides more than it seems. Our zoologists have discovered wetland snails which were spread by birds from Europe. Many species are cumulated in the warmest areas, which are under human pressure.

In abandoned sandpit near Železná Ruda in Šumava Mts, Czech scientists discovered a new species of Czech funga - Multiclavula corynoides, a lichenised fungus with unicellular algae of the genus Elliptochloris inside.

The scientists confirmed the occurrence of 6 newly described species, 4 more previously unknown from Czechia and also discovered 2 putative new ones. The study provides more than just a list, it also looks at the ecology and variation of taxa across Europe.

We published a visual guide to the repertoire of hepatocyte alterations recognized in Nothobranchius furzeri, a vertebrate model in aging research. Giant mitochondria and intense hepatocellular vacuolation are the most prominent features. #killifish

Zakládání nových tůní nemusí vždy krajině prospět. Často dochází k ničení kvalitních mokřadních biotopů, ústupu jejich specializovaných druhů, zhoršování kvality vody a vysychání okolní krajiny.

The most interesting finds were small snail Euconulus fulvus and rare and endangered species Vertigo angustior. The Faroese land snail fauna is poor due to intensive sheep grazing. Richer communities survive only on steep rock faces that are difficult to access.

Our malacologists have just published the results of an extensive survey of land snails in the Faroe Islands.They confirmed the presence of all previously known species, but also discovered several new ones - not only on particular islands, but also for the whole archipelago.

Their results do not support the hypothesis that species-specific traits are behind species success, but rather the relaxation of competition and an increase in the carrying capacity of the environment. It will be interesting to follow the further development of this trend. doi.org/10.1111/1365...

This is not a return of species after recovery, but phenomenon associated with higher energy flow in ecosystem, probably due to climate change.

🌿 The first article of our DarkDivNet consortium, led by Meelis Pärtel, has been published in Nature. Our dataset from 5500 sites in 119 world regions, collected specially for this purpose, shows that plant diversity is negatively affected not only by direct human impact such as local disturbance.

Its basis was created during Monica's internship at Dept. of Botany & Zoology in spring 2020 under Igor Malenovský supervision.
