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.
Researchers from our institute examined the biogeographic patterns of a steppe butterfly with relict populations in Europe.
The article in PNAS provides evidence for a mechanism that rescues fertility of chromosomal hybrids in species with holocentric chromosomes.
The article published in Nature Conservation proposes a new education programme using field-based entomological research to promote awareness about forest ecosystem conservation.
The article in Frontiers in Physiology demonstrates that adipokinetic hormone controls not only energy homeostasis in Drosophila, but also behavioural matters as strength of daily rhythms or negative geotaxis.
