📢 We're moving! Our department will no longer be active on X. You can continue following our updates on Bluesky and Facebook. Stay tuned for more biodiversity, ecology & evolution science there! 🌿🐝🔬🦐🦎🐟🐧

🦠🔬Our DiCE team revealed diatoms as the least explored by molecular techniques among the major groups of life on Earth! Interestingly, it was not the most shocking of their discoveries - find out more in the publication: shorturl.at/akihv 🤓
📢 New paper out! Based on an analysis of ~4M research documents, diatoms were found lagging in frequency of molecular research behind all other organismal groups! Still not the most shocking of the results! 😱 Find out more: shorturl.at/akihv! #Science #Diatoms #Genomics
❄️Science meets adventure! Our diatomist @Anta_diatoms and sci-photographer @PetrJanJuracka are on an Antarctic mission at the Esperanza Base. They're exploring pristine diatom communities and capturing the raw beauty of Antarctica 📸. Check it out! #Antarctica #Science #Diatoms

Vyšel nový @Vesmir1871! Najdete v něm i příspěvek o starém českém názvu ondater pižmových od kolegy @pipek_pavel z @DeptEcology Víte, jak se jim říkalo? :)
Bum!
V trafikách zítra exploduje lednový Vesmír. Na webu už dnes.
Explodují v něm supernovy, termiti, chlévská mrva i cukr.

📢 Exciting news! Our colleague @tyler_kohler co-authored a groundbreaking Nature paper on the diversity & biogeography of bacterial microbiomes in glacier-fed streams. A must-read on climate change & ecosystems! ❄️ [doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-0…] #Ecology #Microbiome #ClimateChange
🥳🪶The endangered and endemic Mount Cameroon Francolin has a new publication record, thanks to our David Hořák and colleagues! This offers exciting new insights into the distribution and life of this rare and little-known bird species. 📷 ace-eco.org/vol19/iss2/art28…

O úbytku hmyzu🦋🪲 v Česku jsem před týdnem přednášel v @KnihovnaPraha, tak jestli máte chuť a čas mrkněte na záznam. Mluvím jak o stavu diverzity hmyzu a o místech, kde ohrožené druhy přežívají, tak o příčinách jejího úbytku i o možných způsobech nápravy youtube.com/watch?v=X1W9rZQJ…

Program L’Oréal UNESCO For Women in Science bojuje za větší počet žen ve vědě 👩🔬👩🔬👩🔬a má za cíl upozornit na klíčovou roli žen ve vědeckém světě a překonat předsudky, které je stále brzdí.

📢 The United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP16) in Clio saw the very first report on the Colombian IDEAM research project involving Japanese, Austrian and Czech (through our Lenka Procházková) universities - microbial life on vanishing glaciers of Colombia was confirmed! 😱

🥶 If you wonder what expeditions to Antarctica look like, check out this brand new documentary created for @CzechTV about this year's Czech expedition to Antarctic James Ross Island. DiCE was there via our researcher Jan Kollár. 😱

❄️ In September, DiCE performed an extensive sampling of three glacial streams in the Alps 🥶. This will help us understand changes in microbial communities along the longitudinal profile of such streams, as well as predict their response to the continuing glacier melting! ❄️🦠

📢New study on #PREDATION📢 We have collaborated on this multisite international study revealing that global latitudinal patterns in predation differ for live and artificial insect prey. Study led by Elena Zvereva and published in @GEB_macro onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

We have a freshly-minted PhD✨🎓 at @DepEcoCU! Dr. Javier Oñate-Casado defended his thesis on geographic variation in birdsong in island-mainland systems 🏝🏞 with sister species of pipits 🐦 Let's dive into this fascinating research!

Yay, new research from our lab published in @JPhycology! Through an ecophysiological culturing experiment, our Eva confirmed a long-suspected (yet still inconclusive) hypothesis: freshwater cryospheric diatoms cope with freezing far better than temperate ones. Find more below!🥶
