Introduction
My interest is mainly on the topics related to nature protection, assessment of conservation status, reporting obligations related to nature directives in EU, monitoring of habitats and species, assessment of ecosystem services. In case of practical field research I focus on the zoology, mainly on mollusks and birds.

Three species of spiders (Araneae), Altella aussereri Thaler, 1990, Mimetus laevigatus (Keyserling, 1863), and Trichoncyboides simoni (Lessert, 1904), are reported from Slovakia for the first time. These new records originate from southern Slovakia. The record of A. aussereri provides new data on the distribution and natural history of this range-re...

The main aim of the research is to identify landscape fragmentation (LF) in Slovakia with special emphasis on the contribution of protected areas (PAs) to mitigate the effect of LF. Results are presented in the final raster output (10 m grid). The raster contains 490,321,151 individual 10 m raster grids, with the LF average value of 59.12 % (where...

The highly diverse group of freshwater mussels from order Unionida, are found in the world's freshwater systems due to several fascinating evolutionary adaptations, including 'parental care', and most notably, an obligatory parasitic phase in their early life cycle, called glochidia, which infests and uses fish for nutrition and dispersal. Freshwat...

Mussels of order Unionida are a group of strictly freshwater bivalves with nearly 1,000 described species, with a dispersed geographic distribution across the world’s freshwater ecosystems. Despite their fundamental ecological importance, they are highly threatened, being the faunal group with the highest records of wild extinctions. To date, only...

The world's economic prosperity and the quality of life of its inhabitants are conditioned by the existence of natural capital - biodiversity and ecosystems that provide important goods and services for humanity. Assessing and mapping these services is crucial for understanding how ecosystems contribute to the quality of human life and for supporti...
Article
Full-text available
The spatial distribution of parasitoids is closely linked to the distribution and ecological requirements of their hosts. Several studies have documented changes in the fauna composition of parasitoids in response to elevation, but data on parasitoids associated with spiders are missing. The koinobiont ichneumonid wasp Zatypota anomala is strictly...

Chapter
This chapter provides comprehensive findings for the three basic groups of ES. Five provisioning ES are essential for Slovakia – agricultural crops; timber and fibre; drinking water; freshwater and fish; and game and wildfood. Regulatory ES represent the regulation of natural processes – erosion and natural hazards mitigation; runoff and flood prot...

Chapter
Chapter provides a brief overview of the methodology of pilot ES assessment in Slovakia. For the assessment process, in total 41 map inputs were used, in raster format with the pixel size 25 m. The most important data are the land cover map, the ecosystems map, protected areas, forestry data, digital elevation model, and soil data. The resulting la...
Chapter
The chapter provides a concise introduction into the issue of ecosystem services (ES), its research, and implementation. It starts with the definition, primary model, and a brief history of this concept. The ES approach is increasingly reflected and applied in the scientific field, but it does not yet have the necessary support in the economic and...
