New Pliocene localities with micromammals from the Czech Republic: a preliminary report
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first well defined Pliocene mammalian faunas in the Czech Republic – found at localities Měňany 3 and Vitošov – are reported herein. Pilot samples from the localities have yielded an assemblage of at least 23 taxa of small mammals (Lipotyphla, Chiroptera, Lagomorpha, and Rodentia). The key taxa Mimomys hassiacus, M. cf. gracilis (an advanced form), Baranomys, and Germanomys in the assemblage suggest age of the fauna is Pliocene, possibly near the Ruscinian – Villanyian (MN15b – MN16a) boundary. Schlüsselwörter: Kleinsäugetiere, Pliozän, Ruscinium, Villanyium, Tschechische Republik.

Observations on the Hipparion Red Clays of the Loess Plateau
We discuss the history of exploration of Red Clay vertebrate fossils of the Loess Plateau, and record observations on “Hipparion Red Clay” localities of Shanxi and Gansu provinces. Red clay is widespread across the Loess Plateau, but misleading as a descriptive term because many deposits are neither red nor dominated by clay-size sediment. Many red clay sequences contain paleosols, but also wat...
متن کاملGeographical distribution of the giant liver fluke (Fascioloides magna) in the Czech Republic and potential risk of its further spread
The giant liver fluke, Fascioloides magna, is of interest to wild-life managers, veterinarians and researchers, due to its unusual body size (3–10 cm), high pathogenic potential and because it is continuously spreading to new areas, especially in Europe. Annually, the number of cases of animal infections (mainly cervids and bovids) caused by this fluke is monitored in many European countries, i...

In this paper, the structure of a new 16-membered macrocyclic Schiff base compound N,N′-(3,3′-dimethoxy-2,2′-(propane-1,3-diyldioxy)dibenzylidene)propane-1,3-diamine, C22H26N2O4 (1), derived from 1,3-propanediamine and 3,3′-dimethoxy-2,2′-(propane-1,3-diyldioxy)dibenzaldehyde has been studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction, DFT calculations at B3LYP/6-31G** and FT-IR spectroscopy. The titl...
متن کاملCharophytes (Characeae, Charophyta) in the Czech Republic: taxonomy, autecology and distribution
The Charales (stoneworts) are an ancient monophyletic group with conserved features same in ancesters as well as in present representatives. They are considered to be closely related to the ancestors of land plants. The taxonomy of Charales was delimitated on the basis of morphology and later by fossil characters as well. Nowadays, the higher taxa are relatively well defined and their delimitat...
