This paper presents spider faunistics from abandoned coppice oak forest stands located along the South Moravia region. Spiders were collected from May to July 2012 by pitfall trapping at eight different localities. We collected 1945 adult spiders representing 20 families, 53 genera, and 90 species. More than one-third of all the species are known to be xerothermophilous with ecological restrictions to open and partly shaded habitats such as forest-steppe and sparse forests which belong to endangered habitats along central Europe. The most abundant species were Pardosa alacris, P. lugubris and Arctosa lutetiana from the family Lycosidae. In the surveyed area, 24 species were found listed in the Red List of Threatened Species in the Czech Republic (CR – 1 species, EN – 2 species, VU – 15 species, LC – 6 species). In general, we discovered a substantially diversified spider community with a large presence of rare and endangered species characteristic for open and xeric habitats.

Faunistic records of spiders (Araneae) in the Nature Monument Jesličky (South Moravia, Czech Republic) are presented. Spiders were collected by pitfall trapping in 2009 and by sweeping of the herb vegetation in 2011. During the both periods a total of 847 specimens were collected, from which 617 adult spiders were determined. We found 88 species belonging to 20 families. Seven species listed on the Red List of Invertebrates of the Czech Republic were recorded: Titanoeca schineri L. Koch, 1872, Scotina celans (Blackwall, 1841), Haplodrassus dalmatensis (L. Koch, 1866), Ozyptila pullata (Thorell, 1875), Ozyptila simplex (O.P-Cambridge, 1862) and Marpissa nivoyi (Lucas, 1846). To the most significant finding belongs a very rare and endangered (EN) Micaria guttulata (C. L. Koch, 1839). A significant and rich finding of bioindicators of the well preserved steppe habitats Atypus piceus (Sulzer, 1776), Eresus kollari Rossi, 1846 and Alopecosa sulzeri (Pavesi, 1873) are to be mentioned.

The processed set of phytosociological relevés indicated that at the present time the field weed associations are composed particularly of species of wide ecological amplitude. The rare and endangered species appeared only on localities usually not much affected by chemicals. Most of the endangered species of field weeds were found to survive primarily on small private farms, in the headland of fields or on field edges near the natural reserves.The results indicated that the type of crop had a significant effect on the composition of the current aboveground vegetation. There is a close relationship between the type of crop and the applied cultural practice. Its effect is much more important than the effect of the overall method of management. However, long-term application of herbicides may eliminate some weed species from the seed bank and as a consequence also from the current vegetation. That is the reason why crop rotation is so important for preserving the species diversity of weeds in tandem with limited applications of herbicides.

The Loucké Rybníky ponds State Nature Reserve was established in 1954 and due to negative effects of mining activities it was abolished in 1979. This article presents results of malacological survey in the Loucké Rybníky ponds (Karviná-Louky, Czech Republic) conducted in 2006 and 2007. The samples were collected at seven locations which match with sites sampled in 1954 and 1978; the location of sites were detected based on original schematic maps showing their position. The research was focused on aquatic species, terrestrial mollusc were collected only marginally. In 2006 and 2007, 38 mollusc species were found (35 gastropods and 3 bivalves), which include 17 species of aquatic molluscs and 21 terrestrial. Based on comparison with the data collected in 1954 and 1978 we conclude that the total destruction of aquatic habitats was irreversible and lead to changes in the species composition. Several rare and endangered species have extinct at this site and the total species richness of aquatic species decided from 29 to 17.

Altogether, 78 terrestrial mollusc species were recorded on 31 plots in a stretch of the Tichá Orlice River valley between the cities Choceň and Letohrad (East Bohemia, Czech Republic) in 2007 and 2009. This region harbours 46% of the total terrestrial mollusc fauna of the Czech Republic. The fairly high species richness corresponds to a high habitat diversity and species pool of the region that includes Alpine and Carpathian elements. Of prime conservation importance is a high share of rare and endangered species (EN-2, VU-9, NT-14 species) and species mostly having an isolated population there from the main distribution range. This region is a real hotspot of forest gastropods in Transalpine Europe.

Abstract Near-natural rivers and riparian ecosystems can represent biodiversity hotspots harbouring many highly specialised, rare and endangered species. During the past centuries, these habitats have been heavily degraded by anthropogenic use, and therefore river restoration is one of the most striking fields of action that is legally defined by the European Union Water Framework Directive. Successful restoration depends on realistic and specified targets that should be defined beforehand and founded on status quo surveys. We present a comparison of carabid beetle communities in riparian habitats of natural and managed river sites of the Mulde River in the Biosphere Reserve Middle Elbe. This endeavour is part of a unique multi-level revitalisation project. Pitfall trapping in 2016 and 2017 yielded 111 carabid species with many species of conservation concern in natural and managed habitats. However, Simpson diversity and functional diversity were lower in the latter. Both habitats harboured specific species assemblages with characteristic indicator species. Additionally, the trap location on slip-off slopes or cut banks was a significant driver of species composition. Our results indicate high ecological development potentials for the Mulde River, but restoration should consider differences between slip-off slopes and cut-off banks. We postulate that future restoration will foster population increases as well as a wider distribution of rare and endangered riparian habitat specialists.

About 50 samples of retail Czech wines from the South of Moravia (vintage years 2008 to 2015) were measured for δ<sup>18</sup>O values in wine water together with more than 60 European wines. The aim of the study was to compare Moravian wines (not measured for δ<sup>18</sup>O up to date) with regional European wines and published data from the European wine databanks. The observed variability of δ<sup>18</sup>O values with vintage year corresponds to the variability of German wines from the Rhine region. We did not observe any significant admixture of must from other regions. The method of <sup>18</sup>O measurement appears to be very sensitive to small differences in the climate of the region (comparison of South Moravia and the near Malé Karpaty region).

The Emerald Network of Ukraine provides the preservation of the most valuable and typical components of landscape and biotic diversity, including the habitats of rare and endangered species of plants. In order to ensure the effective protection of biodiversity, within the boundaries of natural or anthropogenically modified territories, the necessary condition for their flora diversity should be its study. One of the territories that is the central link in the structure of the ecological network of Ukraine is the Dnipro Ecological Corridor. Within the Dnipro ecological corridor of the forest–steppe of Ukraine are located 11 objects of the Emerald network, which is 4% of their total number in Ukraine, which are characterized by specific biotope–ecotope characteristics and which consist of a significant number of populations of endangered and rare plant species. As a result of the analysis the objects of the Emerald network, 33 habitats from Resolution No. 4 of the Bern Convention were identified (C1.222, C1.223, C1.224, C1.225, C1.226, C1.25, C1.32, C1.33, C1.3411, C1.3413, C1.67, C2.33, C2.34, C3.4, C3.51 (but excluding C3.5131), D5.2, E1.2, E1.9, E2.2, E3.4, E5.4, E6.2, F3.247, F9.1, G1.11, G1.21, G1.22, G1.3, G1.7, G1.8, G1.A1, G3.4232, X35) and 69 species of vascular plants, that belong to such protective lists : Annex I of the Bern Convention – 12, Resolution No. 6 of the Emerald Network – 11, the Red Book of Ukraine – 56 and the European Red List – 8 species. In Emerald objects, they are distributed in this way: Kanivskyi Nature Reserve – 40 species and 25 habitats, Holosiivskyi National Nature Park – 29 and 23, Nyzhnovorsklianskyi Regional Landscape Park – 26 and 21, Nyzhniosulskyi National Nature Park – 27 and 28, Kremenchutski Plavni Regional Landscape Park – 5 and 19, Kremenchutske Reservoir – 17 and 28, Kanivske Reservoir – 16 and 27, Dniprodzerzhynske Reservoir – 5 and 21, Ponyzia Stuhny – 8 and 10, Cherkaskyi Bir – 17 and 17, Mykhailivskyi – 10 and 22, respectively. Preservation and reproduction of rare species is one of the main tasks of creation the protected areas and ecological networks. An overview of the specific features of these objects and the existing conditions for conservation of biodiversity in general suggests that the considered areas, despite their very significant anthropogenic transformation, can be considered as important aspect of preservation and reproduction of rare vegetation diversity in the scale of the plains of Ukraine.

Altogether, 78 mollusc species were recorded in the Hemže-Mýtkov Nature Reserve (East Bohemia, Czech Republic) during 2005–06. This locality harbours 32% of the total mollusc fauna of the Czech Republic at only 29 ha. This fairly high species richness corresponds to a high habitat diversity and species pool of the region that consists of a mixture of Alpine and Carpathian elements. Of prime conservation importance is a high share of rare and endangered species and species mostly having an isolated population there from the main distribution range. These species are East-Alpine Aegopis verticillus, Cochlodina commutata and Itala ornata, and the East-Alpine-Carpathian Bythinella austriaca. Carpathian species represents Faustina faustina. Except mentioned species there are several other rare and sensitive species such as Daudebardia brevipes, Perpolita petronella, Platyla polita, Pupilla sterri, Vertigo alpestris, and Vertigo antivertigo. Although, forest species prevailed, there were also representatives of other ecological groups such as synanthropic, steppe, water, and wetland species.
