Defining a species is sometimes not as easy as we might assume. Some descriptions are based on surprisingly vague criteria, and the populations in question may not really represent separate species. This can artificially increase the numbers of species and destabilize their cataloguing," Daniel Jablonski from the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Comenius University explains the pitfalls of species classification. By designating each genetically distinct evolutionary lineage as a species limited nature conservation resources are diverted away from species that are truly at risk. Daniel Jablonski therefore teamed up with molecular taxonomy experts Christoph Dufresnes and Nikolay Poyarkov to propose a standardized approach to the delimitation of species and subspecies, particularly among animals. They published their paper in the prestigious PNAS journal, issued by the National Academy of Sciences of the U.S. Their novel approach is based on genomic phylogeography and our knowledge of how speciation in nature occurs. "During the process of speciation, populations are isolated by geographical or ecological barriers and develop into separate lineages. When these lineages meet again by chance, they try to reproduce. The differences in their DNA that accumulated over time will cause their partial incompatibility. We found out that sister evolutionary lineages which were estimated to have diverged over three or four million years ago hybridize less readily than younger lineages. Lineages or populations are considered separate species if they have a limited rate of exchange of genetic information, and this could theoretically be one of the criteria for establishing whether specific lineages are species or not,” Jablonski explains. The authors propose to describe genetically unique, but evolutionarily younger and reproductively still compatible lineages representing intraspecific diversity, as subspecies. In this way they can be given a scientific name, their evolutionary history can be studied, and they can be placed on red lists and protected. "Our proposal could satisfy the need to protect evolutionarily unique albeit reproductively compatible populations without artificially increasing the number of species. These lineages, which are also often endemic and play a huge role in the evolution of the species, are usually not specially protected. The reason is the fact that they are not described as species," adds Jablonski. One example is the recent description of the endemic populations of Chloe’s spadefoot toad Pelobates balcanicus chloeae, or the world's longest legless lizard Pseudopus apodus levantinus from the Middle East. Their discovery triggered an increased interest in these endemic populations and their protection. In practice, this new approach could make it possible to recognise higher biodiversity without increasing the number of species, so that protection of animals is more efficient and based on their evolutionary history. -------- The image shows Chloe’s spadefoot from Greece which represents an example of a young lineage that separated relatively recently, at the beginning of the Pleistocene, approximately two million years ago. In order to emphasize the genetic uniqueness of these amphibians, which still retain some reproductive compatibility with sister lineages of the species, and also to highlight the importance of their conservation, scientists have described this population as a separate subspecies Pelobates balcanicus chloeae. ]]> [RUK] Tlačové správy [RUK] Titulka - úzke novinky [RUK][SP] Aktuality Pre odbornú verejnosť [RUK] Tlačové správy EN pr@uniba.sk Sun, 19 Nov 2023 13:31:00 +0100 https://uniba.sk/ WE HAVE MANAGED TO PLANT 1200 TREES IN A SINGLE DAY.

With excitement we followed your successes at the tournament on social media, we kept our fingers crossed for you and we are very proud of you. I want to thank you for the exemplary way in which you represented the University," said the Rector of Comenius University Marek Števček and wished the athletes such continued success both in sport and in their personal lives. The leader of the team, Tibor Balga from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport praised the dedication of all its members: "I want to thank them for representing the University in such great way, for their outstanding sports results, and for their commitment both on and off tracks and fields. It was very gratifying to see how the inter-faculty team came together and gave support to each other. Everyone contributed to the success: those who won medals, but also those who scored points, jointly taking the university to an overall first place. The footballers played the whole tournament without conceding a single goal, which is a very impressive outcome."]]> [RUK] Tlačové správy [RUK] Titulka - úzke novinky Šport [RUK][SP] Aktuality [RUK] Tlačové správy EN pr@uniba.sk Wed, 08 Nov 2023 09:17:00 +0100 https://uniba.sk/ Wednesday 15.11.2023 at 14:00, Lecrure room F1/364 prof.

Commissioning of NPP Mochovce 3th unit
Abstract:
On Saturday evening 14.10.2023, the 144-hour testing proof of NPP Mochovce 3rd unit on the operating power level 100% was successfully performed. By this final test the power commissioning procedure has been finished. Obstacles in commissioning process will be discussed in detail. Even though the 30-year long effort was finally finished and the most expensive build in Slovak history was successfully completed, the Slovak nation was happier about the football triumph 1:0 with Luxemburg.

Data Availability from Industrial Hardware in the Era of Consumer-grade Sensor Abundance
Abstract:
Algorithms based on deep learning have increasingly become an integral part of our daily lives. Essential ingredient of these methods, which is often taken for granted, is the availability of large-scale datasets with real-world complexity coverage. In the context of vision tasks, these usually consist of images available online. These samples are often produced by the general public without the prior goal of dataset creation. This is in sharp contrast with the situation in the industry. Tasks like machine part localization by industry-grade robots are still built upon traditional deterministic algorithms. While this may be surprising at the first sight, it makes perfect sense from the perspectives of data availability, reproducibility, robustness and trustworthiness. Not only the factory scenes are vastly different, but also the sensors employed such as 3D cameras, yield data in different format and fidelity than their consumer-grade counterparts. Suddenly, gathering of datasets for deep learning requires unrealistic amounts of time and manual labor in this setting. One solution discussed in this presentation will be the usage of so-called digital twins, resulting in synthetic training data. Challenges of domain gap will be consulted in the context of authors current research on surface-normal prediction of depth maps with missing samples. Furthermore, an analysis of two recently published works of the author from this data importance perspective will follow. Lastly, problems of static datasets and an ever-changing world affecting these solutions will be touched upon with modern approaches such as lifelong and multi-task learning. ]]> [FMFI] Prednášky a semináre [FMFI] Kalendár Damas.Gruska@fmph.uniba.sk Thu, 09 Nov 2023 15:22:00 +0100
