A kutatási téma leírása:
The supervisor is studying the taxonomy of Lygaeoidea since the end of the 1990’s years. In the last 20 years he described (partly with PhD students or colleagues) 13 new genera or subgenera, 44 new species, synonymized 33 species or genus, and not mentioned the synonyms proposed 21 new combinations. Type material of 18 European and 2 non-European museums were studied.
The proposal for the applicants is to study the system of Lygaeoidea superfamily of the Hemiptera, especially of selected groups. The applicant will choose the group after consultation, the best possibilities are: some tribes of Rhyparochromidae, e.g. Drymini (many genera as Salaciola, Stilbocoris etc.), Lethaeini (mainly Diniella-Lamproceps complex, or Neolethaeus), Myodochini (Eucosmetus, Gyndes, Paromius or Remaudiereana) or Rhyparochromini (Elasmolomus, Metochus, Narbo), Heterogastridae. It is possible to study the Lygaeoidea fauna of a selected region (e.g. Madagascar, Sulawesi, New Guinea) as well.
The student gains experience also in preparation of insect genitalia and photomicrography.
Depending on material genetic investigations are also possible.
Microscopes and other equipments are available in the department for the study. The supervisor has all needed literature, mostly in pdf format, also an extensive sample of pictures of type specimens (with more thousand pictures).
The material borrowed from 18 various museums (Amsterdam, Berlin, Brno, Brussels, Budapest, Cardiff, Helsinki, Innsbruck, Leiden, London, Lund, Müncheberg, München, Paris, Prague, Stockholm, Tervuren, Vienna) are enough for the work. It contains more thousand specimens with more than 200 undescribed species and more than 20 undescribed genera.
The applicant should have MSc in biological, agricultural or related field. Knowledge of English and good drawing skills would be advantages.
