From conservation of the Norik of Muran - an endangered Central European horse breed to hippotherapy and traditional countryside sustainability - Od ochrany norika muránskeho k hipoterapii a udržateľnému hospodáreniu v krajine. FPA2 3145 The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation project, 2021 – 2023, 100 000 EUR, zodpovedný riešiteľ, leader of the project. The principal challenge of the project supports our effort to afforce applied interactions among 3 primary issues: conservation of an endangered traditional horse breed bred as gene reserves: Norik of Muran (genetic biodiversity conservation), traditional country sustainable use and hippotherapy that utilizes equine movement in a therapeutic way (motivation, activisation and education of people with physical handicap, social disability or other specific needs). This interaction will undisputedly emphasize the essential relationship between biodiversity and human society, that has been developing for centuries as a reflexion of natural, cultural and historical identity.Projekt je premostením ochrany vzácneho národného plemena norika muránskeho a jeho využitia v hipoterapii v tradične a udržateľne využívanej krajine.
VEGA 1/0372/24 Potential of essential oil biopesticides in economic thrips (Thysanoptera) integrated control with a special emphasis on climate-change-induced adaptation mechanisms - team member. The presented project is focused on the research of the prospective potential of "green" biopesticide essential oils in the integrated protection of plants against economically important (often allochthonous) species of Thysanoptera (especially Thrips tabaci and Frankliniella occidentalis as vectors of pathogenic tospoviruses) in the intentions of ongoing climate change and its specific impacts on adaptation pest mechanisms. Changing ecological conditions show a significant influence on the establishment of resistant lines in the environment of common chemical pesticides. The proposed morphometric analyzes (of linear and geometric nature) based on artificially intelligent determination systems (multilayer perceptron) in an experimentally maintained homotypic set within breeding chambers can point to the detection potential of resistant subpopulations within a wide spectrum of adaptation mechanisms, especially intraspecific variability and phenotypic plasticity.
APVV-20-0081 Ecology of sexual selection/ Team member. Models of sexual selection primarily involve Fisher's runaway sexual selection, selection for good genes, handicap principle and sexual conflict. These processes are, however, significantly influenced by global environmental change which cause direct and indirect types of environmental pollution. In this project, we use a well-known model spider species Pisaura mirabilis in which males exhibit conspicuous form of nuptial feeding (male transfer of nutrient to the female) during courtship to test whether environmental change influences evolution of mating behavior. Specifically, we will investigate both direct effects (i.e., heavy metals accumulation) and indirect effects (i.e., decreased prey availability) of environmental pollution on sexual selection. Furthermore, we deal evolutionary questions regarding physiological costs of nuptial feeding to males. Results of this investigation will have broad implications for the evolution of sexual selection in animals under environmental change.
The project corresponds with a brand-new innovative approach and potential of artificially intelligent and semi-automated modules (under artificial neurone networks) in establishing forensic invasion ecology. Our previous research on intraspecific variability discrepancy effect in ex situ identification modules has emphasized new dimensions in specific phenotypic “explosion“ curve of economic Thysanoptera as a key for chronological reconstruction of main invasion phases
Phenotypic variability in primary introduction phase of allochtonous economic Thysanoptera as the key problem in optimalization of online RIS (remote identification system) modules in phytosanitary care. VEGA 1/0286/20, 2016 – 2020 - excellent results certificate, zodpovedný riešiteľ, team leader. The project opens new horizons in invasion ecology to solve the problem of phenotypic plasticity in allochtonous economic thrips (Thysanoptera) in the initial phase of their introduction into farmland, which accompanies the optimum phenotype realization to prove the highest population fitness. This phase includes an increase in morphological (morphometric) intraspecific variability with discrepancy effect on automated online RIS (remote identification system) modules in artificially intelligent detection of pathogenic organisms.
