You have probably heard that aristocrats have blue blood, right? Of course, it is not true. We all have blood of a beautiful red color, thanks to a protein called hemoglobin – the blood pigment. This protein has a non-protein part called heme, which carries oxygen in our blood from lungs to a whole body. Besides being an oxygen carrier, heme has a much wider set of tasks in various proteins of many organisms. For example, bacteria use heme in oxygen sensor proteins to orient themselves in the environment. The team of Assoc. Prof. Markéta Martínková from the Faculty of Science, Charles University has recently published a new mini-review focused on the mechanisms of action of those proteins.

Snow leopards in Nepal, is the title of a new book produced by Springer, edited by Prof. Pavel Kindlmann from the Institute for Environment of the Charles University. The publication is the only one so far to provide comprehensive information on population dynamics and presents not only a comprehensive overview but also new, previously unpublished data from 15 years of intensive photo-trapping combined with sampling and analysis. These data could be useful for other researchers working on the snow leopard. In addition to the editor, the co-authors are former or current PhD students of the Institute of Environmental Science, Faculty of Science, Charles University.

The Grant Agency of the Czech Republic (GA CR) will fund 10 new EXPRO projects and 23 JUNIOR STAR projects from next year. Both prestigious competitions aim to promote scientific excellence through superior conditions - EXPRO is designed for experienced scientists who have a breakthrough idea, while JUNIOR STAR will allow outstanding budding scientists to pursue their own research topics. One of the JUNIOR STAR grants goes to our faculty - it was awarded to Dr. Filip Kolář from the Department of Botany. Congratulations!

The team centered around Associate Professor Petr Kuneš from the Faculty of Science of the Charles University in Prague has been researching the prehistory of Bohemian Forest (Šumava) lakes for seven years. The sediments collected have been unravelling new stories and now part of the results have been published in a prestigious journal Science of the Total Environment. The unusual quality of the record from a small mountain lake (Prášilské jezero) has made it possible to reconstruct changes in the lake ecosystem in great detail, revealing processes associated with the brownification of the water that go beyond the scope of a local study.
