Distribution of Crambus hamella (Thunberg, 1788) in Czechia is summarized. This psammophilous species is listed as near threatened in the national Red List of Invertebrates. It has been known from seven faunistic squares in Czechia until now. The recent records of C. hamella in...

The earliest known Cyrtina in the Prague Basin has been discovered in the Kotýs Limestone of the Lochkov Formation (Lochkovian) among a rich brachiopod-coral fauna at Branžovy ridge near Bubovice (Beroun District, Czechia). Rare and imperfectly preserved silicified shells are assigned to...

Barking deer is found in dense tropical and subtropical forests of Asia. It is listed as “least concerned” by the International Union of Conservation of Nature and as “vulnerable” in Nepal, where it is also protected. Due to the habitat loss and fragmentation by human act...

Post-mining sites are the important refuges for many groups of organism. The faunistic survey of selected groups of invertebrates and fungi is summarized in this study. Spiders (Araneae), beetles (mainly: Coleoptera: Carabidae), butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) and macromycetes (Fungi: Ascomycota,&...

Organisms with external phosphatic shells diversified and became abundant at the beginning of the Early Paleozoic but gradually declined and were rare by its end. The decreasing availability of phosphorus in oceans is thought to be responsible for this evolutionary trend. Responses of&#...

The lower Badenian basal and marginal clastics of the Carpathian Foredeep represent a useful source of information on the Palaeozoic units of the Moravosilesian Basin (Bohemian Massif). This study addresses in detail a Tournaisian limestone boulder from a locality near Kučerov village. ...

Three ichnospecies of dendritic borings (Clionolithes cf. cervicornis, C. isp. A, and C. isp. B) were observed in abundant brachiopod shells in the Třebotov Formation (lowermost Eifelian, zone Polygnathus partitus) in two Prague localities (Praha–Holyně, “V rokli”, and Praha–Barrandov, street “K&...

Brachiopod etching trace Podichnus, typically with centrifugally arranged clusters of holes or slits, has hitherto been known only in calcium carbonate substrates. The similar etching trace is newly described on calcium phosphate substrate. The trace Podichnus isp. in a wall of a phosph...

The Late Neolithic palafitte site, Ustie na Drim, in the northern part of Lake Ohrid (North Macedonia), excavated in 1962, offered ceramic fragments of large, flat, elongated pans. These artifacts could be dated by relative chronology to roughly around 5200–5000 BC. According to th...

Anal cancer (AC) screening is justified in high-risk populations, particularly HIV-positive men having sex with men (MSM). HR-HPV testing could improve the efficiency of cytologically based screening of AC, as in the screening of biologically analogical cervical cancer. The specificity of HR...

Records of Polyporus tubaeformis are newly reported from the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, and Ukraine. They originate from mountains at the elevation 750–1250 m a.s.l., namely Bohemian Forest, Northern Limestone Alps, Western and Eastern Carpathians. The habitats are a) steep rocky slo...

The crayfish plague pathogen Aphanomyces astaci, which is among the most studied pathogens of aquatic invertebrates, co-evolved with North American crayfish species but threatens crayfish on other continents. The pathogen causes mass mortalities, particularly in Europe. In this study we document&...

A comprehensive and wide survey of fish communities in the Kokořínsko-Máchův kraj Protected Landscape Area (PLA) has not been conducted yet. The article presents results of an ichthyological research carried out on 43 profiles in all streams in the PLA. The aim of the study&#x...

Twelve encrusters and three endobiont trace fossils were distinguished on silicified brachiopod, coral and gastropod shells coming from the Kotýs Limestone (Lochkovian) of the Prague Basin, Bohemia. Encrusters preferred larger and costellate brachiopod shells with prominent convexity of valves. Locati...

Two species of polypores from the genus Hapalopilus s.l. are discussed. Hapalopilus eupatorii is published for the first time outside of Europe (Canary Islands) and in the Czech Republic. This species is shown to be more plastic in both morphology and ecology than previously t...

This paper is conceived as an overview of the recommendations issued by the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen in the initial days of the state of emergency in order to support the methodological quality of the implementation of emergency distance education. In cooperation w...

The aim of this theoretical-methodological study is to defi ne the construct of dynamic areas of curricula, to contextualize it, to describe the research methods of the construct, and to present examples of good practice. Th e term ‘dynamic area’ is defi ned and put into&...

The summary of the teacher’s basic approaches to the preparation and realization of learning tasks at the coronacrisis beginning is the main aim of this text. We are focusing on the way of the task’s assignments and on the teacher’s evaluation of pupil’s work across three...
