The number of research projects decreased due to the dissolution of the Grant Agency of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, the resources of which were partly re-directed to the Czech Science Foun- dation, now the principal provider of project financing in our state. Nevertheless, the publication activity of the Institute research staff was not influenced; the production of books, chapters in books and peer-reviewed articles remained still high with increasing value of article impacts. The autumn season was characterized by the elections of the new Executive Board (active as of January 4, 2012) and by the preparation of a tender for a new Institute director, as Dr. Václav Cílek decided to finish after 8 year in this position. We thank him for all his activities!

  • A Comparative Study of the Primary Vascular System Of
    Amer. J. Bot. 55(4): 464-472. 1!16'>. A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE PRIMARY VASCULAR SYSTE~1 OF CONIFERS. III. STELAR EVOLUTION IN GYMNOSPERMS 1 KADAMBARI K. NAMBOODIRI2 AND CHARLES B. BECK Department of Botany, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor ABST RAe T This paper includes a survey of the nature of the primary vascular system in a large number of extinct gymnosperms and progymnosperms. The vascular system of a majority of these plants resembles closely that of living conifers, being characterized, except in the most primitive forms which are protostelic, by a eustele consisting of axial sympodial bundles from which leaf traces diverge. The vascular supply to a leaf originates as a single trace with very few exceptions. It is proposed that the eustele in the gyrr.nosperms has evolved directly from the protostele by gradual medullation and concurrent separation of the peripheral conducting tissue into longitudinal sympodial bundles from which traces diverge radially. A subsequent modification results in divergence of traces in a tangential plane, The closed vascular system of conifers with opposite and whorled phyllotaxis, in which the vascular supply to a leaf originates as two traces which subsequently fuse, is considered to be derived from the open sympodial system characteristic of most gymnosperms. This hypothesis of stelar evolution is at variance with that of Jeffrey which suggests that the eustele of seed plants is derived by the lengthening and overlapping of leaf gaps in a siphonostele followed by further reduction in the resultant vascular bundles. This study suggests strongly that the "leaf gap" of conifers and other extant gymnosperms is not homologous with that of siphonostelic ferns and strengthens the validity of the view that Pterop­ sida is an unnatural group.

  • Prepared in Cooperation with the Lllinois State Museum, Springfield
    Prepared in cooperation with the lllinois State Museum, Springfield Richard 1. Leary' and Hermann W. Pfefferkorn2 ABSTRACT The Spencer Farm Flora is a compression-impression flora of early Pennsylvanian age (Namurian B, or possibly Namurian C) from Brown County, west-central Illinois. The plant fossils occur in argillaceous siltstones and sand- stones of the Caseyville Formation that were deposited in a ravine eroded in Mississippian carbonate rocks. The plant-bearing beds are the oldest deposits of Pennsylva- nian age yet discovered in Illinois. They were formed be- fore extensive Pennsylvanian coal swamps developed. The flora consists of 29 species and a few prob- lematical forms. It represents an unusual biofacies, in which the generally rare genera Megalopteris, Lesleya, Palaeopteridium, and Lacoea are quite common. Noegger- athiales, which are seldom present in roof-shale floras, make up over 20 percent of the specimens. The Spencer Farm Flora is an extrabasinal (= "upland1') flora that was grow- ing on the calcareous soils in the vicinity of the ravine in which they were deposited. It is suggested here that the Noeggerathiales may belong to the Progymnosperms and that Noeggerathialian cones might be derived from Archaeopteris-like fructifica- tions. The cone genus Lacoea is intermediate between Noeggerathiostrobus and Discini tes in its morphology. Two new species, Lesleya cheimarosa and Rhodeop- teridi urn phillipsii , are described, and Gulpenia limbur- gensis is reported from North America for the first time. INTRODUCTION The Spencer Farm Flora (table 1) differs from other Pennsylvanian floras of the Illinois Basin. Many genera and species in the Spencer Farm Flora either have not been found elsewhere in the basin or are very l~uratorof Geology, Illinois State Museum, Springfield.

  • Molluscs of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area
    Molluscs of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area S a b i n e F ISCHER & M i c h a e l D UDA Abstract: Research in the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area (DWA) in the southwest of Lower Austria is mainly concerned with the inventory of flora, fauna and habitats, interdisciplinary monitoring and studies on ecological disturbances and process dynamics. During a four-year qualitative study of non-marine molluscs, 96 sites within the DWA and nearby nature reserves were sampled in cooperation with the “Alpine Land Snails Working Group” located at the Natural History Museum of Vienna. Altogether, 84 taxa were recorded (72 land snails, 12 water snails and mussels) including four endemics and seven species listed in the Austrian Red List of Molluscs. A reference collection (empty shells) of molluscs, which is stored at the DWA administration, was created. This project was the first systematic survey of mollusc fauna in the DWA. Further sampling might provide additional information in the future, particularly for Hydrobiidae in springs and caves, where detailed analyses (e.g. anatomical and genetic) are needed.

Navrátilová) Illustrations related to the paper by J. Navrátil et al. MORAVIAN GEOGRAPHICAL REPORTS Aims and Scope of the Journal Moravian Geographical Reports [MGR] is an international peer-reviewed journal, which has been published in English continuously since 1993 by the Institute of Geonics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, through its Department of Environmental Geography. It receives and evaluates articles contributed by geographers and by other researchers who specialize in related disciplines, including the geosciences and geo-ecology, with a distinct regional orientation, broadly for countries in Europe. The title of the journal celebrates its origins in the historic land of Moravia in the eastern half of the Czech Republic. The emphasis at MGR is on the role of ‘regions’ and ‘localities’ in a globalized society, given the geographic scale at which they are evaluated. Several inter-related questions are stressed: problems of regional economies and society; society in an urban or rural context; regional perspectives on the influence of human activities on landscapes and environments; the relationships between localities and macro-economic structures in rapidly changing socio-political and environmental conditions; environmental impacts of technical processes on bio-physical landscapes; and physical- geographic processes in landscape evolution, including the evaluation of hazards.

  • Optimization of Flood Protection by Semi-Natural Means and Retention in the Catchment Area: a Case Study of Litavka River (Czech Republic)
    DOI: 10.2478/mgr-2013-0005 Vol. 21, 1/2013 MORAVIAN GEOGRAPHICAL REPORTS OPTIMIZATION OF FLOOD PROTECTION BY SEMI-NATURAL MEANS AND RETENTION IN THE CATCHMENT AREA: A CASE STUDY OF LITAVKA RIVER (CZECH REPUBLIC) Radek ROUB, Tomáš HEJDUK, Pavel NOVÁK Abstract Of all natural disasters, floods represent the most serious threat to the territory of the Czech Republic. This is given by the situation of the Czech Republic at the continental as well as the worldwide scale. At present, the design of anti-flood measures is mostly based on technical measures, without considering improvements in the hydromorphological status according to the Framework Directive on Water Management and without considering the natural transformation of flood discharge in the alluvial plains of water courses. This report presents a design for the optimization of anti-flood measures in the pilot catchment of the Litavka River, in which we propose particular measures for the catchment for its entire surface while providing a good hydromorphological status. We also wanted to quantify the proposed measures leading to the increased retention and accumulation capacities of the catchment area. Shrnutí Optimalizace protipovodňové ochrany formou přírodě blízkých opatření a retencí v ploše povodí: případová studie Litavky (Česká republika) Povodňové situace představují na území České republiky největší hrozby přírodních katastrof. Tato skutečnost je dána polohou České republiky v kontinentálním i celosvětovém měřítku. Návrh protipovodňových opatření v současnosti probíhá především formou technických opatření, bez ohledu na zlepšení hydromorfologického stavu vod dle požadavků Rámcové směrnice o vodách a bez ohledu na přirozenou transformaci povodňových průtoků v nivách vodních toků. Příspěvek seznamuje s optimalizačním návrhem protipovodňových opatření v rámci pilotního povodí, kde byla navržena konkrétní opatření řešící komplexně povodí v celé jeho ploše a zároveň zajišťující dosažení dobrého hydromorfologického stavu vod.

  • Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Ferussaciidae)
    BASTERIA, 64: 99-104, 2000 Nomenclatural notes on a Cecilioides species of the Italian and Swiss Alps (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Ferussaciidae) R.A. Bank Graan voor Visch 15318, NL 2132 EL Hoofddorp, The Netherlands G. Falkner Raiffeisenstrafie 5, D 85457 Horlkofen, Germany & E. Gittenberger Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum, P.O. Box 9517, NL 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands has It is argued that the name Cecilioides veneta (Strobel, 1855) to be used for a species which has in the past been referred to as C. aciculoides or C. janii. Key words: Gastropoda, Pulmonata,Ferussaciidae, Cecilioides, Italy, Switzerland, nomenclature DATA AND DISCUSSION In northern Italy and the southernmost part of Switzerland (Tessin) two species of the Cecilioides A.

Miiller, 1774), and wide-spread throughout Europe (with the exception of Scandinavia, where it is living only in the southern tip of Norway and Sweden). The nomenclature of the second, far more local species has been the subject of much dispute. This species has a shell similar to that of C. acicula, but and broader instead of larger relatively (5-7 x 1.9 mm 4.5-5.5 x 1.2 mm), and with the about half instead of about third of the total In aperture forming a height. addition, the columella is clearly more truncate at the base (figs 1-2; Kerney & Cameron, 1979: 149-150; Falkner, 1990: 169, figs 1, 5; Turner et al., 1998: 237-238). In the more recent literature this species is known under the names C.
