Decisions in seed reproduction in plants
Mašková, Tereza ; Herben, Tomáš (advisor) ; Thompson, Ken (referee) ; Těšitel, Jakub (referee)
Seed reproduction is a key part of the life cycle of the most plant species. It allows for the dispersal of species in space and time and, thus, significantly affects dynamics of plant populations and communities. Seed formation, germination and seedling establishment are subjected to selection pressures from the environment and lead to optimization of maternal investments (maternal care), manifested by the number of seeds and amount and composition of nutrients stored in individual seeds. The thesis aims to answer two questions: (i) whether maternal investments in terms of seed mass and seed nutrient stoichiometry is optimized according to the environmental conditions in which seedling development is expected and (ii) how nutrient availability, considering nutrients both stored in the seed by the mother plant and those available in the substrate, affects seedling growth and development. To answer the first question, we focused on interspecific comparisons of seed nutrient stoichiometry linking it with data on seed mass and species niche along gradients of nu- trient availability. We used a phylogenetically informed comparative approach to explore the ratio between phosphorus, nitrogen and nonstructural carbon in seeds from 510 wild herbaceous species. We analyzed seed nutrient stoichiometry with...

It belongs to one of the means adopted in order to protect nature and environment and its objective is to reduce the conflict that has arisen between human activities and selected, specially protected animals, which are known to cause damage on the property of people. In accordance with the above mentioned legislation, amongst these so called conflicting species are included the Brown Bear, Northern Lynx, European Elk, River Otter, European Beaver, the Wolf and also Great Cormorant that, however, is no longer in the field of activity of this Act. Such an objective should be reached through the provision of financial compensation for the damage caused by these animals to some predefined objects owned by individual entities. The thesis is divided into three main chapters dealing mainly with the actual Act No. 115/2000 Coll. and some other related issues. The first chapter focuses on basic legal terms with relevance for the protection of animals. With a help of the relevant legislation, terms such as animal are introduced with emphasis on their legal status in the Czech legislative...

Western Foreigners Living in Czechoslovakia during the Normalization Era
Mašková, Tereza ; Houda, Přemysl (advisor) ; Krátká, Lenka (referee)
This thesis based on an archive research as well as interviews with eleven interviewees describes aspects of every day routine in the lives of western foreigners in Czechoslovakia during the nineteen-seventies and eighties. Testimonies of the interviewees are set in context where a special emphasis is placed on legislation and internal regulations mostly of bodies of the Ministry of Interior concerning Czechoslovak visa policy, the status of foreigner in relation to Czechoslovakian citizens (marriages) and the police apparatus (observing, tailing and monitoring). Based on the testimonies and the archive material it can be concluded that the Czechoslovakian regime did not see the western foreigners as a priori ideological enemies and tolerated their presence in Czechoslovakia. Bureaucratic procedures, however, were set in such a fashion that the foreigners could be closely observed. A fear of not having their stay extended, resp. being expelled, often led those interviewees who wanted to live in Czechoslovakia permanently to subconsciously avoid conflicts with the regime. All interviewees are critical of the former regime and are able to accurately characterize its nature and its main negative aspects, but at the same time they perceived positively certain aspects of life in the brought-into-line...
