Pesticide impacts on farmland bird populations
Kutzendőrferová, Adéla ; Reif, Jiří (advisor) ; Grünwald, Jan (referee)
Pesticides are problematic chemicals that are found in a variety of environments. These substances tend to accumulate in living organisms, where they decomposite very slowly and can have a negative impact on bird populations. This is why some chemicals are still detected in these environments today, even years after their use has been banned, and may continue to affect organisms. The aim of my bachelor thesis was to conduct a literature search on the impact of pesticides on farmland bird populations. The first part of the thesis focuses on pesticides, their history, their division into different systems and their effects. The second part of the thesis then discusses the overall effects of pesticide use on farmland bird populations, particularly on breeding success and abundance. In this part, several studies have been collected that confirm the negative effect of pesticides on bird abundance, but not all of these studies are representative of real situations in the landscape. Finally, the paper assesses the overall role of pesticides in the observed bird declines and also presents suggestions to address the current negative trends. The thesis points to the need for expanded research studies that reflect actual conditions in agricultural landscapes to reveal the true extent of the effects of these...

Long-term population trends in urban birds in Europe and Czechia
Grünwald, Jan ; Reif, Jiří (advisor) ; Sedláček, Ondřej (referee)
Urbanization ranks among the most important processes induced by the human civilization that affects ecological communities at the same time. Birds are the most frequently studied organisms in relation to urbanization. Different birds' species show different abilities to adapt to urban areas, so urbanization works as an environmental filter. As urban environment undergoes extraordinarily high rate of change, the characteristics of the environmental filter are changing rapidly, too. This could influence populations of urban bird species. We can expect that the population change of the species will be related to the time since urbanization; specifically, the early urban colonizers will decline due to alteration of urban environment, while the recent urban colonizers will increase. I obtained data on population trends from 2000 to 2016 for 95 common urban bird species in 16 European countries. Thanks to the cooperation with local expert ornithologists, I collected the data about the time since urbanization of these species in respective countries and I related these two variables filtering out the influence of 9 other species-specific ecological characteristics. Bird population trends had a statistically significant relation to the time since urbanization: the species that became urbanized earlier...

Species traits and ecological conditions linked to bird colonisation of cities
Grünwald, Jan ; Reif, Jiří (advisor) ; Sedláček, Ondřej (referee)
Human settlements are a novel habitat type and species must respond to its ongoing expansion. For effective conservation of biodiversity, it is important to understand the mechanisms underlying these responses. This thesis focuses on urbanization in birds, from both the individual and community perspectives. The aim of this thesis is to find out if there are any "pre-adaptations" in some bird species to be successful city dwellers or if all birds can potentially exploit the urban environment when local conditions allow. According to the reviewed literature, I conclude that the urbanization in birds is not a universal pattern, but there are some specific traits shared by most of the urban birds. The successful urban species are mostly omnivorous or granivorous, they breed in trees or in cavities and, they are often ecological generalists. They are sometimes represented by non-native species occurring in the cities all over the world.

The Regional Museum's Work with the Public
Grünwald, Jan ; Mikeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Blažková, Kateřina (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to describe in detail the marketing communications of museums in the Czech Republic, demonstrate it with a specific example and propose an effective manner of communication and possible improvement measures. The theoretical part explains the basic terms of marketing and specifics of museum marketing a possibilities of museums in their publicity and further work with the public. The practical part shows the problematics of museums' marketing and work with the public in the Czech Republic, the current situation and possible suggestions for improvement. The information for the research come from a survey performed in the T.G.M. Museum Rakovník, which served as a case study.
