At the Faculty of Science, Charles University, a bee identification course is currently taking place as part of the European Pollinator Identification Courses (EPIC) project. The training is coordinated by Jakub Straka from the Department of Zoology. Its aim is to teach participants how to identify individual bee genera and species so that they can subsequently monitor the status (abundance and species diversity) of pollinators. The project is part of the EU's ambitious commitment to reverse pollinator decline by 2030.

Homosexuality presents an intriguing paradox for evolutionary biology. If homosexual individuals, on average, have fewer offspring than heterosexual people, and sexual orientation is at least partly genetically determined, how can genetic predispositions for homosexuality persist in the human population? A recent study by Jakub Fořt and his colleagues from the Human Ethology group at the Faculty of Science, Charles University, aimed to answer this question.
