Cephalopod jaws from the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin - taxonomy and stratigraphic implications
Kozlová, Zuzana ; Košťák, Martin (advisor) ; Vašíček, Zdeněk (referee)
This work is focused on systematic research of cephalopod jaws from the Late Cretaceous. Samples of 147 newly recorded nautiloid rhyncholites from the Bohemian Cretacoeus Basin and one new ammonite rhyncholite from Řepov village were systematically analyzed. The new collection of lower ammonite jaws (aptychi) consists of 32 specimens. Nautiloid rhyncholites from localities Turkaňk, Úpohlavy, and Dreisen were determined as Nautilorhynchus simplex. Conchorhynchs from locality Vinary u Vysokého Mýta belong to the species Conchorhynchus cretaceous, which is associated with the commonmost species Eutrephoceras sublaevigatum. Ammonite rhyncholite is left in the open nomenclature due to its uncertain systematic position and it is not assigned to any ammonite species. Records of aptychi from the locality of Úpohlavy and Pecínov represent mainly species of heteromorphic ammonites - baculitids (Baculites, Sciponoceras). The total diversity of species from both localities reaches 20 ammonite species. The two jaw morphotypes (2 species of aptychi) are reported from the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin for the first time herein. Of the high importance, it is a record of ammonite Prionocyclus germari from Úpohlavy with associated lower jaws in situ within the body chamber. Aptychus of this taxon has never been...
Variability of specific structures Tree Pipit
Kozlová, Zuzana ; Petrusková, Tereza (advisor) ; Musilová, Zuzana (referee)
Primary function of birdsong is for territorial defense or attraction of females. Birdsong also contains much more other information and can be used to inform males and females about quality of singing bird. It was demonstrated, that for different bird species condition of male correlates with what structures of birdsong are produced. More complex structures are produced by superior males. Females of some species prefer males with ability to produce more complex structures. This work deals with structures of singing of the tree pipit species (Anthus trivialis). These structures are also known as trills. It is assumed, that trills may contain some information about quality of male, which can be evaluated by males and females. Birdsong of tree pipit contains two types of trills - loud and soft. Loud trills are used in aggressive interactions between two males. Soft trills are not used in aggresive context and they differ in consistency - regularity, that can be expressed as tempo of trill. When measuring tempo of trills for every tree pipit male, the tempo is different among males and also correlates with their ability to maintain stable territory over the entire nestling season. Males with faster (more consistent) tempo of trill had stable territory, while males with slower (irregular) tempo of...
