MK00009486201, known as “Vytváření pramenné báze a studium přírodních procesů probíhajících v širší oblasti styků karpatské, hercynské a panonské oblasti [Constitution of a reference base for the natural processes taking place at the broader junction of the Carpathian, Hercynian and Pannonian regions, and research into it]”. This came on stream in 2005 and is ending in 2011.

On the taxonomy and distribution of the genus Maccevethus (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhopalidae)
Petr Kment & Petr Baňař
Material of the genus Maccevethus Dallas, 1852 preserved in the collections of the National Museum, Prague and the Moravian Museum, Brno is revised. We record the syntopic occurrence of Maccevethus errans (Fabricius, 1794) and M. caucasicus (Kolenati, 1845) stat. restit. in Portugal, supporting species status for the latter...

We record the syntopic occurrence of Maccevethus errans (Fabricius, 1794) and M. caucasicus (Kolenati, 1845) stat. restit. in Portugal, supporting species status for the latter taxon. In the case of M. corsicus corsicus Signoret, 1862 and M. corsicus persicus Jakovlev, 1882, we prefer to retain subspecies status for the time being. The following new or confirmed records are provided: Maccevethus caucasicus from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Portugal, M. errans from Portugal, M. corsicus corsicus from Montenegro and Syria and M. corsicus persicus from Afghanistan. Based on a re-examination of published records, M. corsicus corsicus is excluded from the fauna of Slovakia (and Central Europe). Maccevethus corsicus persicus is excluded from the fauna of Iraq. Additional corrections to the published records of M. caucasicus and M. corsicus corsicus from Cyprus, Iran, Israel, and Turkey are made. The distribution of M. caucasicus in Slovakia is mapped, and habitus photographs and drawings of the parameres of specimens from various countries are provided.

Elaphomyces septatus and Lepiota griseovirens are recorded for the first time in the Czech Republic. Lepiota lilacea and Psilocybe laetissima are published for the first time from Moravia, Coprinopsis spelaiophylla for the second time. Armillaria ectypa has been re-collected after almost 50 years, Clavariadelphus truncatus after almost 30 years, and Geastrum berkeleyi after more than 20 years. Biscogniauxia simplicior and Lyophyllum leucophaeatum have only a few recent Moravian localities. Further, Callistosporium pinicola represents a rare, only recently-recorded taxon. Crepidotus crocophyllus has been collected outside its previously-known range in the southernmost part of Moravia. Aleurodiscus disciformis is a critically endangered species that has been collected at several localities in Moravia.

Remarks on the occurrence and ecology of several interesting cyanobacterial morphospecies found in South Moravian wetlands
Olga Skácelová & Eliška Zapomělová
Extensive investigation of planktonic, periphytic, metaphytic and benthic cyanobacteria was performed in the years 1986.2009 at South Moravian localities. The occurrence and ecology of eight selected cyanobacterial morphospecies were studied in detail: Rhabdogloea smithii (R. et E. Chodat) Komárek, Merismopedia convoluta...

The occurrence and ecology of eight selected cyanobacterial morphospecies were studied in detail: Rhabdogloea smithii (R. et E. Chodat) Komárek, Merismopedia convoluta Brébisson in Kützing, 1849, Merismopedia sp., Spirulina major Kützing ex Gomont, 1892, Spirulina meneghiniana Zanardini ex Gomont, 1892, Spirulina nordstedtii Gomont, 1892, Arthrospira jenneri Stizenberger ex Gomont, 1892, non-planktonic morphospecies of Anabaena Bory ex Bornet et Flahault, 1888, and Anabaenopsis nadsonii Voronichin, 1929. This research revealed Anabaenopsis nadsonii as a species new for the Czech Republic. Further, the environmental preferences of the species studied are here revised and discussed together with data in the literature. Spirulina meneghiniana (Kutnar, Pastvisko . Nová okrouhlá tůň Pool, Lednické rybníky fishponds . Prostřední rybník Pond) have been found to display a markedly wider range of conductivity tolerances than had been previously reported. All samples collected in the course of the work have been deposited in the collection of Moravian Museum, Brno and are available for further studies.
