Jaké jsou důsledky krajiny protkané silnicemi ve vztahu s přírodou?

Antifreeze proteins from winter-active spiders were purified using their affinity for ice. After LC–MSMS characterization, corresponding transcripts were identified. The antifreeze protein folds as a...

Prof. Milan Chytrý from the Department of Botany and Zoology of the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University has been elected member of Academia Europaea, one of the most respected scientific societies in Europe.

In the year 2025, based on research within the Horizon 2020 project addressing river drying, four articles were published involving our hydrobiologists Petr Pařil and his Croatian PhD student Luka Polović. They relate to predictions of the impacts of river drying up to 2100 and include a focus on the South Moravian Velička River basin. In these publications, the authors analyze how aquatic invertebrates survive drying across various European and other continental climate types. Using the model group of aquatic insects, caddisflies, they demonstrate the importance of connecting isolated river segments, without which recolonization of drying areas is very limited.

S oceněným vyučujícím, botanikem z Přírodovědecké fakulty Milanem Chytrým, jsme mluvili o důležitosti zahraničních kontaktů, kritické diskuse a samostatné práce studentů.
