| Aquatic insects in the system of bioindication of water quality |  |  Based on long-term sampling (since the early 1950’s) of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and some Diptera, a system to indicated water quality has been constructed. Multicriterial analysis is used to define reference taxocenes and localities which can be easily compared to the localities measured. To date, more than 150 localities have been evaluated, about double number of them is required to verify the system. PI: T. Soldán | | | | Insect biodiversity of Central European peatbogs and other wetlands | |  Project is based on habitat island concept of studies of relict insects and their conservation. Quantitative samples (e.g., light and pitfall traps) are used to define dynamics of populations and communities. Most of isolated tyrphobiontic populations are characterised by “geographical races” at the semi-endemic level. Based on taxonomic approach, relict species composition, habitat relationships to peatbogs and other wetlands including holistic studies of the whole isolated ecosystem are planned. PI: K.
