    • Contrasting structural complexity diferentiate hunting strategy in an ambush apex predator 

      Říha, Milan; Gjelland, Karl Øystein; Děd, Vilém; Eloranta, Antti; Rabaneda-Bueno, Ruben; Baktoft, Henrik; Vejřík, Lukáš; Vejříková, Ivana; Drastik, Vladislav; Šmejkal, Marek; Holubová, Michaela; Jůza, Tomáš; Rosten, Carolyn; Sajdlová, Zuzana; Økland, Finn; Peterka, Jiří (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Structural complexity is known to influence prey behaviour, mortality and population structure, but the effects on predators have received less attention. We tested whether contrasting structural complexity in two newly ...

    • European catfsh (Silurus glanis) as a freshwater apex predator drives ecosystem via its diet adaptability 

      Vejřík, Lukáš; Vejříková, Ivana; Blabolil, Petr; Eloranta, Antti; Kočvara, Luboš; Peterka, Jiří; Sajdlová, Zuzana; The Chung, Son Hoang; Šmejkal, Marek; Kiljunen, Mikko; Cech, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Apex predators play a key role in ecosystem stability across environments but their numbers in general are decreasing. By contrast, European catfish (Silurus glanis), the European freshwater apex predator, is on the increase. ...

    • Macrophytes shape trophic niche variation among generalist fishes 

      Vejříková, Ivana; Eloranta, Antti; Vejřík, Lukáš; Šmejkal, Marek; Cech, Martin; Sajdlová, Zuzana; Frouzova, Jaroslava; Kiljunen, Mikko; Peterka, Jiří (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Generalist species commonly have a fundamental role in ecosystems as they can integrate spatially distinct habitats and food-web compartments, as well as control the composition, abundance and behavior of organisms at ...

    • Seasonal habitat use of three predatory fishes in a freshwater ecosystem 

      Říha, Milan; Rabaneda-Bueno, Ruben; Jarić, Ivan; Souza, Allan T.; Vejřík, Lukáš; Draštík, Vladislav; Blabolil, Petr; Holubová, Michaela; Jůza, Tomas; Gjelland, Karl Øystein; Rychtecký, Pavel; Sajdlová, Zuzana; Kočvara, Luboš; Tušer, Michal; Prchalová, Marie; Seďa, Jaromír; Peterka, Jiří (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      To understand the spatiotemporal overlap in the habitat use of sympatric predators, we studied longitudinal activity and reservoir section and depth use of pike (Esox lucius), pikeperch (Sander lucioerca) and catfsh (Silurus ...
