Abstract Question How does the plant species composition of P ontic– annonian salt‐rich habitats vary on a large geographical scale? Do floristic differences between annonia and B alkans correspond to current phytosociological classification? Location Pannonia ( H ungary, S lovakia, A ustria, C zech R epublic, roatia, erbia, omania) ulgaria, M acedonia, G reece). Methods Two thousand four hundred thirty‐seven relevés from halophytic sub‐halophytic were classified using modified TWINSPAN ....
•Contact zones between diploids and their autopolyploid descendants represent a unique evolutionary venue for studying polyploid establishment, cytotype coexistence, interactions. Here, we examine coexistence in diploid-tetraploid contact zone of perennial herb, Cardamine amara, located north the Alps by assessing spatial patterns, ecological divergence, genetic variation structure.•Flow cytometry was applied to screen DNA ploidy levels 302 populations (3296 individuals) selection 25...
Detailed knowledge of the geographic distribution cytotypes is a prerequisite for any experimental or molecular study ploidy-variable plant systems. The Arabidopsis arenosa group, an intricate di-tetraploid complex from model genus Arabidopsis, has remained largely neglected regarding and habitat associations its cytotypes. Using flow cytometry, we conducted large population-level cytological screen across A. group range, involving more than 2900 individuals 194 populations. We characterized...
Abstract Dry grasslands are endangered by succession because of changes in management, soil conditions and abandonment. The successional vegetation composition after 46 years abandonment were subject the study. analyses designed to minimize errors that could be caused application historical data. With help numerical classification, internal variation within associations was evaluated. Using computer modeling GIS, suitable management model for dry defined. following impact observed: cover...
Disturbance regime and site productivity are considered the main factors shaping plant species assemblages community diversity in riparian ecosystems, but whether how topographic indices correlate with these two predictors remains largely unexplored. In this study, stream power index (SPI) wetness (TWI) were calculated as surrogates of flooding-induced disturbances productivity, respectively. We used a robust dataset 879 vegetation plots sampled temperate floodplain forests Slovakia goal...
This study presents the first genetically confirmed record of an introduced population Podarcis muralis in Slovakia, specifically village Imeľ (southwestern Komárno District), Danubian Lowland. The was likely via horticultural trade from western Balkans. It identified at a site specializing sale Mediterranean plants Albania, with individuals all age stages documented since its initial observation 2020. Mitochondrial DNA analysis revealed distinct haplotypes that closely cluster those...
Abstract This study focuses on dry acidophilous Scots pine forests, well known for their high biodiversity of cryptogams. We hypothesized that dense forests and heavy management were responsible changes in species diversity, decreasing trends lichen cover increasing moss cover. hypothesis was tested three types maintained under different regimes: 1) managed (forest plantations regenerated by planting), 2) semi-natural naturally), both located the Borská nížina lowland SW Slovakia, 3) natural...
Orchids are one of the most species-rich families in world, and many species under threat numerous countries. Biodiversity research focusing on relationship between richness orchid ecological factors was performed across Cerová vrchovina Mts (Western Carpathians) testing impact 26 explanatory variables. We aimed to determine main predictors controlling predict potential patterns. Altogether, 19 were found studied area, with Cephalanthera damasonium Epipactis microphylla being common. Four...
Russula subsect. Maculatinae is morphologically and phylogenetically well-defined lineage of ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with arctic, boreal, temperate Mediterranean habitats Northern Hemisphere. Based on phylogenetic distance among species, it seems that this group diversified relatively recently. ayubiana sp. nov., described in study, the fifth known from small area northern Pakistan situated southwestern Himalayas. This highest number agaric members a single world. study uses...
Abstract Sturgeons are a group of iconic rheophilic fish whose populations worldwide currently undergoing significant declines. The study investigates the impact climate change and anthropogenic activities, particularly Gabčíkovo barrage system, on survival distribution sterlet, last surviving sturgeon species in Middle Upper Danube River, specifically river part rkm 1708–1920 divided into three sections: PT1 (Danube 1: 1708–Gabčíkovo impoundment), PT2 2: 1854–1920), PT3 (Old 3: 1850–1810)....
Abstract Biological invasions are an increasing threat to ecosystems; early identification of invasive species and rigorous monitoring prerequisites minimize environmental damage. Currently, two large hymenopterans Asian origin spreading across Europe: the yellow-legged hornet Vespa velutina nigrithorax Buysson, 1905 giant resin bee Megachile sculpturalis Smith, 1853, populations which have been gradually being discovered Europe since 2004 2008, respectively. Considering current distribution...
Aquatic vegetation of the mountains and sub-alpine ponds in Tatra Mountains adjacent area (Slovakia) has been studied with aim to provide information about composition species richness macrophytes relation environmental factors.Macrophytes were two pond groups: natural glacial origin artificial ponds.Simultaneously, eight variables measured or estimated at each pond.The groups differed significantly (Mann-Whitney U-test, P<0.01) almost all recorded except for water temperature area.Almost...
