BioLib is non-profit project that can be used as an educational tool. The purpose of this project is to collect biological information and present it to public both professional or just nature lovers. Our first task is to create list of animals, plants and fungi species of Czech Republic, this is about 70 to 90 thousand species. System also contains (or in some cases rather 'will contain') gallery of images connected with records in the species database, database of biological terms, list of literature and links about nature, checklists, language dictionary of species, articles and so on. Project BioLib allows anyone who wants to help to insert data into its databases. After registration the user is allowed to add images, links, write image descriptions, add terms to biological dictionary or texts to species. The submitted data is of course revised before added to database. The purpose of BioLib is to create system that helps people to find as much resources on subject they are interested in as possible, not just in data contained in databases, but also giving them list of links and literature on this subject. ...

It comprises species occurring at present or at least in the past, migrants as well as species showing irregular occurrence, and synanthropic species. The species whose identifications were incorrect or doubtful as well as species the occurrence of which is not satisfactorily documented, similarly as occasional finds of introduced species developing no subsequent local populations are excluded from the list. ...

The aim of the Czech National Phytosociological Database is to gather computerized phytosociological information (vegetation relevés) from the territory of the Czech Republic in a large database that will facilitate easy access to relevant data for the purposes of vegetation surveys, mapping etc. These activities are a part of wider European projects co-ordinated by the Working Group for European Vegetation Survey of the International Association for Vegetation Science, e.g. SynBioSys. The data are stored in the TURBOVEG database management program by S.M. Hennekens which is a European standard software for phytosociological databases. The Czech National Phytosociological Database is co-ordinated from the Department of Botany, Masaryk University, Brno, with several local co-ordinators in other institutes, namely in the Institute of Botany, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. The co-ordinator of the database is Milan Chytry. An integral part of the database project is the development of methods for data analysis. Major procedures developed so far are available in JUICE software by Lubomir Tichy. ... [Information of the supplier]
These sites allow the presentation of data on the distribution of vascular plants in the Czech Republic by interactively generated network maps and listings. Gradually, we would like to build a live databank that would be continuously updated. Further development and replenishment of the database will depend in particular on the involvement of the public and botanical exchange of floristic data. ...

By the middle of the 19th century, lynxes had completely disappeared from Bavaria. It is due to an approved release of 17 lynxes (between 1982-1987) in the area of today’s Šumava National Park that lynxes again populate the Bavarian-Bohemian border area. The two national parks (Bavarian Forest and Šumava) currently represent the core lynx habitat, and the centre from which the animals are spreading to new areas. It is the priority objective of our project to collect current data on lynxes and their use of territory, and on the relationship between the predator and its large animals of prey – roe and red deer – within a large mountain forest ecosystem left mainly to nature. The data collection will to be carried out with the assistance of the latest communication technology in accordance with animal protection laws, and without disturbing the animals in their natural habitat. ...

We are proud that the meeting will be organized under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic and the Ministry of Environment of the Czech Republic. Research on carabid beetles has always formed an important part within Czech entomology, both at professional and amateur level, due to natural beauty and attractiveness of carabid beetles to collectors and nature admirers. Czech carabidology left notable traces in the science of the world Carabidae. Several names of important Czech carabid researchers from the past can be mentioned in this occasion. ...
