| Preliminary scope of work |
| 1. Revidovat rodový a pod-rodový koncept rodu Aspergillus za pomocí genotypových, fenotypových a ekologických dat.
2. Revidovat taxonomii vybraných druhových komplexů, které zahrnují druhy s významem pro člověka. 3. Studovat diverzitu rodu Aspergillus v jeskyních. Jsou jeskyně “diversity hotspot” tohoto rodu? 4. Studovat nástroje pro odlišení jednotlivých druhů. Hledat nové taxonomicky sensitivní znaky na úrovni fyziologie a morfologie. |
| Preliminary scope of work in English |
| 1. Revise generic and subgeneric concept of Aspergillususing genotype, ecological and phenotype data
2. Provide a definitive taxonomy of poorly resolved or problematic Aspergillus species complexes/sections with emphasis on species that are medically important, occur in indoor or cave environment. 3. Explore the species diversity in caves. Is there any diversity hotspot of Aspergillus in cave environment? 4. Provide new physiological characters for species discrimination in species complexes with significantly overlapping morphology and improve molecular species delimitation approaches by using newly available tools based on multispecies coalescence model. |
