Using larvae of several odonate species including both top and intermediate-level predators, we show that the effects of habitat complexity and predation risk on trophic interactions are not additive and in next studies multiple factors should be considered.
This paper was selected by the editorial board as an 'Inside JEB' featured paper. The results proved protective effect of insect vitellogenin against nematodal and fungal infections.
Data collected from over 1 million forest plots reveals patterns of where plant roots form symbiotic relationships with fungi and bacteria. In its current issue, the prestigious journal Nature has published an extensive study of more than two hundred scientists from around the world. The work was led by researchers from Stanford University, where scientists from the Czech Academy of Sciences...
Delimiting species is at the core of multiple disciplines and practices in science and society. Our study published in Systematic Entomology proposes a new approach to standardize species definitions in butterflies, combining genetic data and taxonomic knowledge using a Bayesian framework.
Professor Vojtěch Novotný, Head of Department of Ecology, Biology Centre CAS, was elected a member of Academia Europea, the European non-governmental independent learned society. Professor Novotný became a member of the Section Organismic and Evolutionary Biology.
This paper was selected by the editorial board as an 'Inside JEB' featured paper and also shortlisted for the 2018 Journal of Experimental Biology Outstanding Paper Prize.
The article in Ecography is the most comprehensive investigation of plant-herbivore interaction networks throughout various succession stages in tropical rainforests.
The article in JBC provides evidence for an exquisite ligand stereoselectivity of a Drosophila juvenile hormone receptor.
Our paper published in Journal of Biogeography illustrates how the population genetic structure of the phytophage is shaped by its close relationship to main host.
