We propose a general theoretical framework that enables us to describe self-assembling behaviour of hybrid  macromolecules  comprising dendritically-branched and linear blocks in selective solvents. Structural   properties of resulting nano-assemblies are predicted as a function of intramolecular solvophilic/solvophobic balance and molecular architecture of the blocks. In particular, we demonstrate that macromolecules with highly branched solvophilic blocks exhibit a stronger trend to assemble into spherical micellar-like aggregates as compared to their linear chain homologs. The diagram of morphological states of the solution nanostructures comprising ranges of thermodynamic stability of spherical and cylindrical micelle-like aggregates and polymersomes is constructed and its systematic evolution as a function of degree of branching of soluble bock is analysed. We demonstrate that increasing degree of branching of solvophilic block leads to stabilization of spherical aggregates as compared to cylindrical or lamellar-like ones. At the same time, the number of functionalizable terminal groups exposed to the surrounding media increases only weakly upon increasing branching degree of the soluble block due to simultaneous decrease in the aggregation number. This theoretical predictions provides important guide lines for design of vector systems for targeted delivery of biologicaly active molecules (e.g. anticancer drugs)

BIODIVERSITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HETEROGENEITY SURROGATES IN SYSTEMATIC CONSERVATION PLANNING
Event Dates

Systematic conservation planning tools have been recently broadly used to spatially identify management priorities and help minimize potential impacts from surrounding human activities. Fine-filter approaches that focus on specific species are most commonly used for setting nature conservation priorities worldwide. Alternatively, instead of using species as biodiversity surrogates, coarse-filter approaches focus on preserving environmental characteristics and have recently gained increasing attention yet their connection to conservation planning still remains limited. I will present examples from the two approaches based on my previous and present work. The case studies will focus on how and which biodiversity and environmental surrogates are useful and how to select them. They will also illustrate how combining conservation with land use (ex. urban) planning may provide guidelines to avoid losing irreplaceable, high nature value areas and give concrete management tools to evaluate the efficiency of the existing protected areas network and set future conservation priorities.
