Collecting plastic bottles to build floating islands29. 11. 2017 Researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology BC CAS are building floating islands made of plastic bottles. These islands are used as experimental floating wetlands that will reduce nutrient load...
Eat your predator! Small cyprinid fish forage on their natural enemy23. 11. 2017 Predator - prey relationships are often perceived simply as a situation in which a predator enhances its own fitness while reducing the fitness of its prey. However, this relationship may...
Veteran trees are disappearing from the Moravian Amazonia and the associated biodiversity with them21. 11. 2017 Recently, a team of geographers from Ostrava and entomologists from České Budějovice have worked together to trace back the past changes of floodplain forests along the lower Dyje and Morava...
Insects can school humans in coping with adversity20. 11. 2017 Insects have to cope with a wide range of environmental factors in order to thrive – disease, drought and habitat changes. Scientists hope that studying insect biology and behaviour could help...
Diverse Insect Communities Shape Host-Plant Defenses16. 11. 2017 Researchers from Institute of Entomology and their colleagues collaborate on interdisciplinary projects focusing on eco-evolutionary dynamics driving formation of plant defenses and insect...

Plant chemistry and evolutionary history help to understand tropical biodiversity8. 11. 2017 Researchers from several disciplines, many of whom are based at the Institute of Entomology, collaborate on projects combining evolutionary history and plant chemistry to understand and predict the...
ISME Journal17. 10. 2017 Single cell genomics of uncultured marine alveolates shows paraphyly of basal dinoflagellates
Fish exploration of reservoirs and lakes: A novel way of mobile echosounding29. 9. 2017 The use of echosounders can be perceived as an extremely powerful tool for exploring aquatic ecosystems. Their undeniable advantage is their friendliness to the observed organisms, which are not...
Persistence of species in trophic chains depends on temperature-size responses of individuals19. 8. 2017 Body size reductions of ectotherms–such as insects, fish and bacteria–are among the main responses of organisms to climate change. However, the ecological consequences of this phenomenon are little...
