Measuring activity of ETS and respiration in three species of Crustacea, we assessed differences in their metabolism. Higher exploitation of metabolic potential enables both tolerant species to survive in less favourable environment. Publication of article in Freshwater Biology and number of citations indicates high quality of it and also it indicates that both method and topic are interesting for wider scientific public. The article contributs to better recognition of the method of measurements of activity of ETS and oxygen consumption to be useful in studies of pH tolerance in organisms.

Resonant properties of green plants which represent for many insect species medium for transmission of communication signals are described. Most of insects emit vibratory signals with frequency c. 100 Hz and the next is c. 200 Hz. Signals are tuned with the resonant properties of plants. The dominant peak lies at c. 200 Hz and is completely tuned with one of subgenual organ receptor cell. The work is fundamental for understandig transmission and analysis of vibratory signals through green plants and is the basis for future research in the field of the analysis of signal informational value.

The article describes morphology and function of the CNS nerve cells of Nezara viridula which process information about substrate vibrations. For the first time is described the neuronal network which in the central ganglion accepts the information from leg vibrational receptor organs and delivers the processed information to the brain centres, abdominal segments of the central ganglion and contralateral and neighbouring segments of the central gaglion. These results are fundamentally important for investigations of neuronal basis of behaviour. Arcle was publish in high-ranking journal.

In the article the authors discuss two relatively rare groups of organisms being present in subterranean environment, both in porous and fissured aquifers. Their morphological adaptations indicate different strategies in a process of colonisation of subterranean realm. Research of biodiversity and ecology of subterranean water bodies, especially in alluvial aquifers is at the very early stage. The article gives important theoretical platform for future research. It appeared that there are significant morphological differences between surface and subterranean inhabitants.

In the most recent book published by Taylor&Francis Boca Raton, co-workers published 2 chapters which demonstrated the results of their research in the field of their expertise knowledge. In the first chapter (a) they represented the structure and function of sensory organs in the legs of insect group Heteroptera (Pentatomidae). This group belongs to most interesting insects not only because of its economically importance as global pests but also because its species use the highest variety of mechanical signal modalities which in different contexts enable intraspecific communication.
