Evaluation of landscape permeability and migration potential - A Case Study on the motorway D10
Novák, Libor ; Keken, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Kušta, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis deals with the influence of technical barriers to accidents with wild animals. On the highway D10 during the years 2006-2014 a total of 598 accidents with animals happened. Six categories of barriers were determine: 1) no barrier, 2) metal guardrails, 3) concrete dividers, 4) reinforced metal guardrails, 5) noise barrier wall, 6) fence, which had been given spatial location during the field survey. The paper also addressed the impact of urbanized areas and created the density of accidents per 1 km of the highway. The results show that there was no evidence for an effect of technical barriers (p = 0.73164). An analysis of accidents density implies some hotspots where there is > 19 accidents / km.

Monitoring of ungulates during individual hunts and efficiency of this practise in hunting areas Blatno and Jesenice
Kučerová, Lenka ; Kušta, Tomáš (advisor) ; Divišová, Michaela (referee)
The aim of bachelor thesis was to evaluate the activity of ungulates, especially roe deer, wild boar and sika deer, depending on abiotic effects that influence these species every day. The observation was conducted in hunting grounds Blatno and Jesenice Kosobody in the time range of 4 years. During this monitoring period 359 of blind hunts were permformed, with the hunting succes in total of 57 individuals in both of the hunting grounds. The results suggest that neither temperature nor the cloudiness affected the game activity. The game activity is influenced mainly by its behaviour, which is among others related to the human presence.

Monitoring of raccoon dog aktivity in Opava
Staněk, Petr ; Kušta, Tomáš (advisor) ; Ježek, Miloš (referee)
This work deals with invasive predator racoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides). It is a comprehensive work consisting of general information about its history and later spread to the whole Word, etology and biology as information collected on the basis of thousands of images and hundreds of videos from scout camera located close to natural burrow at Opava in the hunting district hunting club in Hlavnice. The emphasis here is primarily on the course of the day and night activities throughout the year, food preferences, coexistence with other kinds of beasts and ways of dealing with stressful situations. During the observation we were found that his peak of activity was among the sunrise and the second one lately after sunset. Cohabitation with badger is also possible. As for food preferences we realized that racoon dog did not prioritize any kind of food and eat everything what we gave to him.

Evaluation of roe deer losses during meadow harvests in Semily
Sýkora, Petr ; Kušta, Tomáš (advisor) ; Benediktová, Kateřina (referee)
SÝKORA, Petr. Evaluation of the issue of young roe deer mortality during haymaking in Semilsko: Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences.
The aim of the work Evaluation of the issue of young roe deer mortality during haymaking in Semilsko was the research of technical text on selected issues as well as the analysis of the hunting of Vošmenda Valley Hunting Association. On the basis of this analysis, three sites of the similar size were chosen. Subsequently, various frightening devices were placed there and the mortality of young roe deer during haymaking was studied. The next aim was the evaluation of the ratio of the loss of roe deer to measures used.
The frightening devices used in order to achieve these goals were: the scent fence along with a mechanical frightening device (polystyrene boards hanging on a stick), passing through the area with a hunting dog and the site without any protective measure.
The result of the work was a comparison of these sites with the mortality of young roe deer when using different protective measures. The site where a hunting dog was used turned out to be the one with no mortality. On the contrary, the site where the combination of different measures was used, turned out to be the worst one.
Individual sites were influenced by various factors that affected the course of haymaking, for example the weather and time of cutting. The communication between farmers and hunters itself is also of great importance.

Evaluation of roe deer losses during meadow harvests
Horváth, Vít ; Kušta, Tomáš (advisor) ; Adámková, Jana (referee)
Abstract
This thesis for the bachelors degree deals with the analysis and subsequent evaluation of the fawn mortality during haymaking in the hunting district HS Kalec, county Plzeň-sever (Pilsen-North), located in the western part of the Czech Republic. The first part of this thesis describes Roe Deer (Capreolus Capreolus), its population in this territory, biology, ethology and its management.
The second part describes the project as such involving three model testing areas that were selected and marked out in the hunting district HS Kalec; before the haymaking time from June 15 to June 24, 2015, adequate protection measures were undertaken in these areas.
Locality of the first model testing area number 1 was attended (walked) by gamekeepers with dogs. Locality of the second model testing area number 2 was treated with the game scent repeller and also equipped with acoustic disturber. The third model testing area number 3 was only monitored. These model testing areas were re-visited after hay crop and the result is that in the vicinity of the model testing area number 3 two fawns were cut and killed. In both other model testing areas no cut fawns were found.
After hay crop and subsequent determining the actual number of cut fawns, these testing areas were compared mutually and the results will be stated in this thesis for the bachelors degree. The essential aspect was to evaluate the fawns mortality in the specific hunting district based on the obtained facts. Relation to the mitigation measures set in place was examined. This work resulted in saving three fawns. Outcomes of this thesis have provided rather interesting findings that can be further exploited in the gamekeeping management. Particularly in relation to the roe deer management in the gamekeeping practice.
Keywords/tags: roe deer, fawns, killing, hunting district (HS Kalec, Žihle)

Evaluation of roe deer losses during meadow harvests in hunting area Medard
Dvořák, Jakub ; Kušta, Tomáš (advisor) ; Mrkvičková Kořanová, Diana (referee)
Evaluation of loss of young roe deer during haymaking in the Medard hunting district
This bachelor´s work is focused on the evaluation of loss of young roe deer during
spring haymaking. It is divided into two parts.
The first part covers general information on roe deer with main emphasize on life of
youngers during first weeks after their birth. This period is typical for spring
haymaking.
The second part describes specific results of field observations including size of
area, type of weather before and after haymaking, location of area with respect to
forest cover, suggested ways of protections and comparison of their advantages and
disadvantages.
Using several different ways of protections of young roe deer killings during
haymaking I realized that to find a right and the most efficient one is a long-term
task, however based on
the results of my observations I consider walking through meadows as very efficient
means of young roe deer protection.

Chadima, Patrik ; Kušta, Tomáš (advisor) ; Adámková, Jana (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on monitoring the activity and behavior of the European badger (Meles meles) around its burrow. Monitoring of activities in surrounding area of burrow was realizing in Northern Bohemia next to the Šluknov town. It was using camera trap, which was scanning activity via photos and videos around most frequently used holes in time period since april 2015 to end of March 2016. The main aim of this thesis was evaluate effects of extrinsic factors (sunrise and sunset, moon phase, air temperature, annual temperature and time) to activity of badger. Fractional aims was to find out, how much time badger spends out of its burrow with finding of food and maintenance of burrow in individually annual temperature. The thesis is consist of two parts, teoretical and practical parts.
The theoretical part was carried out via a literary research. Practical part is consist of processing and evaluating of recieved dates from camera trap. Results of the thesis demonstrated that all referenced factors has considerable influence on activity of badgers.

The evaluation predation of pheasant nests in Prague and vicinity
Melecká, Radka ; Kušta, Tomáš (advisor) ; Tomáš, Tomáš (referee)
The graduation Theses deals with a predation of pheasants nests. The aim of this work was to observe predation of the nests in model areas in the neighbourhood of Prague. There were chosen two natural parks such as Draháň Trója and the natural reserve Údolí Únětického potoka which is located between Praha Suchdol and Únětice village. The intention of our work was to map an occurrence of pheasants predators and consequently evaluate the biggest risks of pheasants nesting.
Within the evaluation of predation of the nests we have also set artificial pheasants nests located on the sunny places of bushes and arable land of mentioned locations. Interesting results were collected; concretely in the valley of Únětický potok was predated up to 35% of artificial nests and in Draháň as much as 85%.
Between the main predators belonged the fox (Vulpes vulpes), martens (Martes spp.), pied mannikin (Pica spp.) and wild boar (Sus scrofa).
Based on these results was made a conclusion that there is a suitable game management provide by the local hunting organization. We have made a recommendation to build up more interim and lasting covers feeding hoppers and bio corridors for pheasants. In the area of Draháň was recommended to apply for a special statutory exception to reduce predators on not huntable lands by catching trapping.
