Abstract: [cze] [eng]
Cílem práce je metodika potravně preferenčních testů při studiu interakcí mikromycetů a různých zástupců jeskynních bezobratlých a prezentace prvních výsledků. The aim was to improve the methodology of the multi-choice food preference tests as a tool for investigation of feeding preference of cave invertebrates. Fungi and algae isolated from cave sediments of the Domica Cave system (NP Slovak Karst) were offered in cafeteria tests as a food to springtail .i.Folsomia candida./i., mites .i.Pantelozetes cavatica, Scheloribates pallidulus./i., and isopod .i.Mesoniscus graniger. M. graniger./i. preferred some species of algae, all offered fungi were rejected. Mainly algae and .i.Mucor./i. spp. from microscopic fungi are preferred by .i.S. pallidulus./i.. Preference of .i.Mucor./i. spp. was observed by cave mite .i.P. cavatica./i. and cave population of .i.F. candida./i. too. All cave animals showed low preference for offered food and have tendency to stay rather on clay cave sediment then on the food.
