Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

Conductivity is the only reliable proxy measure of mineral richness across the entire gradient, within the confines of this study. This information is of great ecological significance in studies of fen mollusc communities. Species richness does not increase with increasing mineral richness along the entire gradient: only a few species are able to dwell in the extremely base-rich sites. The five types of calcicole-calcifuge behaviour seen in species living in fens have a wider application: data published so far suggest they are also applicable to mollusc communities in other habitats.

In Czech

Článek přináší nové pohledy na vztahy druhové bohatosti mekkýšů a minerální bohatosti stanoviště. Na druhové úrovni bylo nalezeno 5 základních typů odpovědí (species response curve) podél studovaného gradientu.
