Financial Report < 89 > RESEARCH REPORTS 2016 RESEARCH REPORTS 2016 Introduction In the perspective of past time, year 2016 can be evaluated as successful, lucky, and full of good news. The Institute personnel succeeded in a tender for grant projects in the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR), obtaining funding for 6 projects (2017–2019). Scientists from the Depart- ment of Geological Processes succeeded in the Academic tender for high-cost scientific equip- ment for 2016: the excimer laser (193 nm, Cetac/Teledyne company) was successfully intro- duced in the LA-ICP-MS laboratory in a combination with the previously acquired ICP-MS (El- ement2) mass spectrometer, now in full operation. They were also successful in the Academic tender for high-cost scientific equipment for 2017 and 2018: the thermal ionization mass spec- trometer (TIMS) will be purchased in 2017. The TIMS is a device used for high-precision de- termination of isotope ratios. Its acquisition will allow to develop the most advanced analytical methods used in geology. The year 2016 marked the onset of contractual co-operation with the Institute of Rock Structure and Mechanics in the development of U-Th/He method; a part of the analytical works will be conducted in the laboratories of the Department. This method will ex- tend low-temperature dating and modelling of rocks using fission-track analysis, now routinely conducted at the Department. The other analytical procedures successfully implemented in 2016 include dating of crustal sulphides by the Re-Os isotope system, and the method of platinum- group element analyses in carbonate-rich rock materials. The U-series ICP-MS dating of Pleistocene carbonates (developed with the Institute of Geological Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw) started to fully operate also on the market level. Dr. Jiří Sláma started his 5-years scholarship for outstanding prospective scientific workers previously working abroad – the J. E. Purkyně Fellowship of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Dr. Tomáš Přikryl obtained a prestigious Premium of Otto Wichterle for young researchers. Dr. Filip Tomek started the Prospective Human Resources Support Programme (PPLZ) – Salary Support for PhD students at the CAS institutions. Dr. Petr Štorch has been appointed a chairman of the International Subcommission on Silurian Stratigraphy ICS, IUGS. Dr. Ladislav Slavík has been appointed a secretary of the International Subcommission on Devonian Stratig- raphy ICS, IUGS. Both have started their term for the next four years (2016–2020) after the Meeeting of the International Commission on Stratigraphy that was held at the 35th International Geological Congress in Cape Town, South Africa, in August 2016. The slight increase in institutional financing for 2016 enabled to increase salaries by 5 % on average. The most positive news ap- peared after the meeting of the Academy Assembly on December 2016 – the institutional financing of the Institute was supported by additional 13 %! This increase resulted from successful Institute evaluation in the period of 2011–2015. International cooperation in research and development of new methods continued successfully and intensively. Popular science, especially in the frame of complex Academic project Strategy 21, has been developing explosively, again. Pavel Bosák RESEARCH REPORTS 6 2016 2.

  • Folk Taxonomy, Nomenclature, Medicinal and Other Uses, Folklore, and Nature Conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3
    Ulicsni et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:47 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0118-7 RESEARCH Open Access Folk knowledge of invertebrates in Central Europe - folk taxonomy, nomenclature, medicinal and other uses, folklore, and nature conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3 Abstract Background: There is scarce information about European folk knowledge of wild invertebrate fauna. We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies.

Novaj; Hungary) A. Dávid Abstract: Among the Egerian Age exposures of North-east Hungary the Molluscan Clay of Wind Brickyard (Eger) and Nyárjas Hill (Novaj) contain fossils in exceptional richness. Distribution of molluscs of the Molluscan Clay of these two outcrops according to habitats and feeding habits is examined and compared. There are definite differences between the two localities. Introduction Among the several Upper-Oligocene outrops of North-Hungary the Molluscan Clay layers «f _Wind Brickyard, Eger and Nyárjas Hill, Novaj is compared (Fig.l.). These layers contain well-preserved „micro-mollusc" fossils abudantly. The bivalves, gastropods and schaphopods which were living here during the Egerian stage have belonged into the Hinia — Cadulus fossil community. It refers to similar paleoenvironments in case of both localities. The sea was deeper than 120 metres and the bottom was covered by fine-gra­ ined, clayey sediments. The aim of the investigation was to examine the distribution of the molluscs according to habitats and feeding habits in the collected materials. Methods Fifteen kilograms of clay was taken from both localities. After drying the samples were treated with hot water and peroxide of hydrogen. This material was washed out through a 0,5 nun sieve. At the end the molluscan remains were assorted from among the other fossils (e.gJ^oraminifera, Decapoda, Echinoidea, Osteichthyes).

CARLOS GARRIDO RODRÍGUEZ, ha sido realizada en el Departamento de Biología Animal de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela bajo su dirección. Y considerando que representa trabajo de Tesis, autoriza su presentación ante la Junta de Facultad. Y para que conste y surta los efectos oportunos, firma el presente Certificado en Santiago de Compostela, a 20 de diciembre de 1995. Fdo.: Dr. José Castillejo Murillo Por que razão escolhemos o género Cerion? Sim, por que razão despender tanto tempo com um qualquer detalhe particular, quando as vertiginosas generalidades da teoria da evolução imploram que as estudem e quando uma vida inteira é curta para estudar apenas algumas delas? Por muito iconoclasta que seja, não abandonaria a sabedoria basilar da história natural desde a sua origem os conceitos que não se baseiam em percepções são vazios (tal como o afirmou Kant) e nenhum cientista poderá desenvolver um «sentir» adequado da natureza (aquele pré-requisito indefinível da verdadeira compreensão) sem se embrenhar profundamente nos diminutos detalhes empíricos de alguns grupos de organismos bem escolhidos. Deste modo, Aristóteles dissecou lulas e proclamou a eternidade do mundo, enquanto Darwin escreveu quatro volumes sobre cracas e um sobre a origem das espécies.

Jejich úzký vztah k prostředí ve kterém žijí je již léta dobře znám a studován, zejména co se týče suchozemských plžů (viz Juřičková et al. 2008). Malakozoologický průzkum proto může napovědět mnoho o přírodních i lidských vlivech v krajině (Mácha 1971, Ložek 1988, Frest 2002). Snad nejznámější je, díky jejich schránkám, vazba měkkýšů na obsah vápníku v prostředí (Wäreborn 1970, Waldén 1981, Horsák 2006).

  • Life Cycles of Clausiliids of Poland – Knowns and Unknowns

MALTZ1 and ANNA SULIKOWSKA-DROZD2 1Museum of Natural History, Wrocław University, Sienkiewicza 21, 50-335 Wrocław, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology, University of Łódź, Banacha 12/16, 90-237 Łódź, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract.— Among the 24 native clausiliids, 15 were subject to laboratory observations. Eleven of them were found to be oviparous, three – egg retainers and one – ovoviviparous. Batches, containing most often one to about a dozen of partly calcified, ellipsoidal or spherical eggs, appeared usually in the spring and autumn (in non-hibernating individuals throughout the year). Probably the main factors determining the onset of reproduction are humidity and temperature while the photoperiod has no significant effect. The incubation period is ca. two weeks (room temperature), the hatching is synchronous or asynchronous. Cases of intra-batch and inter-batch cannibalism were observed. The minimum time from hatching/birth till adult size is ca. 3–9 months and after further 5–8 months the snails start producing eggs/babies. Clausiliids are iteroparous. Anatomical studies on the development of the reproductive system show that just before lip completion the reproductive system is still incompletely developed. Penis, epiphallus and spermatheca develop within the first month after growth completion (which would indicate attainment of ability to copulate), and the reproductive system becomes wholly mature only after a few months.

  • Rare and Endangered Terrestrial Gastropods of Lower Silesia (SW
    Acta Universitatis Latviensis, 2007, Vol. 723, Biology, pp. 7–20 Rare and endangered terrestrial gastropods of Lower Silesia (SW. Poland) – current status and perspectives Beata M. Pokryszko*, Tomasz K. Maltz Museum of Natural History, Wrocław University, Sienkiewicza 21, 50-335 Wrocław, Poland *Corresponding author, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Th e terrestrial malacofauna of Poland includes 177 species, 18 of which are introduced. Th e distribution borders of quite many of them cross Poland, and the highest concentration of such borders (41 species) is found in Lower Silesia (Silesian Lowland plus Sudetes). Th e area is under heavy human impact, hence there is a need to protect, and particularly to study the land mollusc species that are locally or globally important from a conservation viewpoint: Discus perspectivus (Megerle von Mühlfeld, 1818), Eucobresia diaphana (Draparnaud, 1805), E. nivalis (Dumont et Mortillet, 1852), Semilimax kotulai (Westerlund, 1883), S. semilimax (Férussac,(Férussac, 1802),1802), Aegopinella epipedostoma (Fagot, 1879), Tandonia rustica (Millet, 1843), Lehmannia macrofl agellata Grossu et Lupu, 1962, Bielzia coerulans (M. Bielz, 1851), Deroceras praecox Wiktor,Wiktor, 1966,1966, Cochlodina costata (C. Pfeiff er, 1828), Charpentieria ornata (Rossmässler, 1836), Macrogastra badia (C. Pfeiff er, 1828), Clausilia parvula (Férussac, 1807), Balea perversa (Linnaeus, 1758), Helicodonta obvoluta (O.F. Müller, 1774), Helicigona lapicida (Linnaeus, 1758) and Causa holosericum (Studer, 1820). For each of these species we present current data on local and European distribution, habitat preferences, conservation status and the state of knowledge of life histories. We also delineate the directions of future studies and necessary conservation actions. Key words: conservation, Lower Silesia, Poland, terrestrial malacofauna.
