Calcareous tufas are great archives of geochemical information for the reconstruction past climate. Their importance increases in regions where other proxies rare, such as Western Carpathians. Here, we present first whole-Holocene palaeoclimatic this region based on proxies. We analysed δ 18 O, 13 C and Mg/Ca ratio tufa calcite Mituchovci site (White Carpathian Mountains, W Slovakia) compared these with pollen, plant macrofossil mollusc data. According to two distinct thermal maxima occurred...
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of sample volume, resolution and accumulation time on interpretation a mollusc record from terrestrial deposits. We tested (i) if, to what extent, small sizes impoverish reconstructed species richness, (ii) whether fine‐resolution sampling is worth effort. analysed three sequences, covering continuously entire Holocene, which were collected in tufa‐forming spring fen differed size resolution. More than 36 000 specimens 76 processed. Using...
The Western Carpathian Mountains have been attracting palaeoecologists for a long time, recently mainly to seek direct evidence of northern cryptic refugia in this region. We investigated rich Holocene mollusc record the White Mountains, capturing gradual development forest malacofaunas under stable environmental conditions. To obtain precise data about colonization and extinction events particular species, we applied high‐resolution depth‐age model. Early assemblages revealed both presence...
This study deals with the molluscan fauna of Hostýnské vrchy Hills (Central Moravia, Czech Republic). The main goal was to make a systematic inventory in this area. Snails were collected September 2010 by hand picking and litter sampling at selected sites. Final database pooled earlier published unpublished data. In total, 85 terrestrial 20 freshwater mollusc species recorded 56 sites across area during 2000–2010. Terrestrial snails Monachoides incarnatus, Punctum pygmaeum, Vitrina...
