druhová

Druhový is a Czech adjective meaning related to a species. It is formed from the noun druh (species) with the suffix -ový and is used to describe attributes, processes, or classifications at the level of a single species rather than at higher taxonomic levels such as genus or family. In scientific language it appears in biology, ecology, conservation, and genetics to specify that something concerns a particular species.

Common usages include phrases such as druvová identifikace (the process of determining which species an organism belongs to), druhový popis (the formal description of a species’ diagnostic features), druhový rozdíl (differences between species), druhová diverzita (species diversity), and druhový marker (a molecular marker specific to a species). The term is found in field guides, research articles, and data annotations to distinguish species-level information from higher taxa.

In Czech, the adjective agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. Its opposite or contrast at higher taxonomic levels is often expressed with rodový (genus-related) or other scale-specific terms. Druhový is therefore a key descriptor in taxonomy, ecology, and conservation when specifying information that applies to a particular species.
