The role of the brown bear in the biodiversity of the ecosystem under different scenarios of human-bear coexistence
Funkcia medveďa hnedého v biodiverzite ekosystému v rámci rôznych scenárov spolužitia človek-medveď
| Duration: |
1.2.2025 - 31.1.2028 |
| Program: |
JRP |
| Project leader: |
Mgr. Kaňuch Peter PhD. |
| Annotation: | The research examines the feeding behaviour of the brown bear and its influence on biodiversity and the causes of human-animal conflicts. The project lies at the intersection of applied research and translational science. It employs advanced population genetics and genomic techniques, including low-coverage whole-genome sequencing and eDNA metabarcoding, as well as new field methods such as hormonal metabolite analysis and microscopy. This approach enables a comprehensive investigation of biological phenomena, aiming to translate scientific discoveries into practical applications and solutions for wildlife conservation and research. |
Climate-smart rewilding: ecological restoration for climate change mitigation, adaptation and biodiversity support in Europe
Klimaticky-inteligentné zdivočovanie: ekologická obnova na zmiernenie zmeny klímy, adaptáciu a podporu biodiverzity v Európe
| Duration: |
1.1.2023 - 31.12.2026 |
| Program: |
Horizon Europe |
| Project leader: |
prof., Mgr. Kluvánková Tatiana PhD. |
| Annotation: | The overarching aim of wildE is to assess and enhance the potential of climate-smart rewilding as an nature based solution for ecological restoration across Europe. wildE will develop a multi-disciplinary research that addresses the climate-biodiversity nexus in tight association with the socio-economic dimension of large-scale restoration, including scenarios which will demonstrate this potential under diverse land-use and climate change futures. wildE will deliver scientific insights, methods and tools for different geographic, ecological and social contexts, in order to assist EU policy makers, national governments, regions, local communities and commercial companies in embedding rewilding-type ecological restoration in their policies and plans for achieving carbon neutrality, enhancing climate adaptation and reversing biodiversity loss. |
Coevolutionary approach to unlock the transformative potential of nature-based solutions for more inclusive and resilient communities
Koevolučný prístup k odomknutiu transformačného potenciálu prírode blízkych riešení pre inkluzívnejšie a odolnejšie komunity
| Duration: |
1.11.2022 - 31.10.2026 |
| Program: |
Horizon Europe |
| Project leader: |
prof., Mgr. Kluvánková Tatiana PhD. |
| Annotation: | The main mission of the project is the development of innovative solutions to effectively support the implementation of nature based solutions in the protection of biodiversity. Special attention is paid to the integration of natural science and social science approaches using coevolutionary principles. The project aims to achieve an innovative approach to the integration of actors in the planning and decision-making process in nature and landscape management, including nature actors. The project develops and tests its approaches on 7 case studies. |

Exploiting Plant-Microbiomes Networks and Synthetic Communities to improve Crops Fitness
Využitie sietí rastlín a mikrobiómov a syntetických spoločenstiev na zlepšenie kondície plodín
| Duration: |
2.10.2023 - 1.10.2027 |
| Program: |

| Project leader: |
Ing. Artimová Renata PhD. |
| Annotation: | CropBiomes connects European experts to coordinate and develop knowledge on crop microbiomes for use in precision sustainable agriculture. It will use technological advances (e.g. engineered microbiomes) to selectively improve the resistance of holobiomes to specific environments such as drought and disease. They will define new approaches to topics such as diversity of plant microbiomes, their distribution, ecoevolution, crossing and dynamics of microbiomes/holobiomes, and crossing in specific environments such as soilless systems and environmental stressors (drought/heat, pathogens). Finally, we will explore the plant microbiome as a source of beneficial associations of microorganisms and use technology to engineer microbiomes (via synthetic communities). |
