- 📢 Huge congrats to David Storch & colleagues! Their paper is featured on the cover of Trends Ecol. Evol. (@cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social), proposing a unifying theory of global biodiversity dynamics – and what it means for the future! 📖 doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... 🌍 #Biodiversity #Ecology #Evolution
- ❄️ Člen naší katedry, Dr. Tyler J. Kohler představuje letošní expedici do Antarktidy, která během několika málo dní vyráží na jih! Skrze jím koordinovaný dlouhodobý ekologický monitoring se PřF UK oficiálně připojuje k Českému antarktickému programu. 🎥 youtu.be/2LWenub6qXU #Antarctica #Cryosphere

- 🎓 Curious what we’re discussing this semester? The Ecology Dept. seminar series is back for Winter 2025/26! Join us Tuesdays at 3PM for talks on ecology, evolution & conservation by researchers from around the world! 🔗 bit.ly/4mNPAky (Mainly for students and faculty, but guests are often welcome!)
- 🏆 Big congrats to Jakub Hrouda, student at our Dept. of Ecology, for winning Best Poster at #EOU2025 (European Ornithological Union)! His work uses eBird data to reveal how birds adapt to urban environments across seasons—vital insights for conserving migratory species in a changing world. 🐦🌍
- 🌿 Whether you're a birder or just love nature, South Bohemia’s Třeboňsko is a gem you shouldn't miss. A new article by David Hořák in Ptačí svět highlights why this landscape needs better protection—now. 🐦 📄 PDF link in comments! #Birding #Conservation #Trebon

- ❄️ Naše Kateřina Kopalová opět v Antarktidě! Výzkum rozsivek, izolovaný ekosystém a „velká laboratoř obklopená oceánem“ – více v rozhovoru pro National Geographic: www.nationalgeographic.cz/rozhovory/ce... #rozsivky #Antarktida #ekologie
- ❄️ Just some Antarctic diatoms from our department! 🧫 Some are cultured, others imaged straight from natural samples on our faculty SEM - but all are tiny masterpieces of silica & evolution! 💎🔬 Photo by @scientik.bsky.social & K.Kopalová. #Diatoms #Antarctica #Microscopy #ScienceIsBeautiful
- 🚀 The CryoAlgae experiment by our colleague Linda Nedbalová may head to the ISS! It explores cold-loving algae in microgravity and their potential for water purification in space. ❄️🌱 More info: natur.cuni.cz/en/news/7297... #CryoAlgae #ISS #SpaceResearch #Microalgae

- ❄️ Nearly half of Earth’s glaciers are projected to vanish by 2100. The UN declared 2025 the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation to raise awareness of their role in freshwater, climate, and biodiversity. 🌍 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUnV... #GlacierPreservation2025 #Cryosphere #ClimateScience
- 🌍❄️ ANTARCTICA: Everything Or Nothing! ❄️🌍 Experience the raw beauty of the coldest, wildest, most unforgiving place on Earth with our colleagues @scientik.bsky.social and Katka Kopalová! 🔗 Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo29... #Antarctica #SciencePhotography #Fieldwork #EverythingOrNothing

- 🦠🔬Our DiCE team revealed diatoms as the least explored by molecular techniques among the major groups of life on Earth! Interestingly, it was not the most shocking of their discoveries - find out more in the publication: shorturl.at/akihv 🤓
- ❄️ Science meets adventure! Our diatomist Kateřina Kopalová and science photographer @scientik.bsky.social are on an Antarctic mission at the Esperanza Base. They're exploring pristine diatom communities and capturing the raw beauty of Antarctica 📸. Check it out! #Antarctica #Science #Diatoms
