Clicking in bovids - basic parameters, origin and function?
ROCHOVÁ, Markéta
Some species of hoofed animals produce clicking sound. This work analysed clicking parameters (dominant frequency, 25% quartile, 50% quartile, 75% quartile) of this species: Kuban Tur (Capra caucasica), Daghestan Tur (Capra cylindricornis) and Aoudad (Ammotragus lervia), which are clicking significantly. Clicks of each individual were recorded using solid state recorder Marantz PMD 620 with microphone. All clicks were analysed using program Avisoft-SAS Lab Pro Software, verze 5.0.01 (2010). Data were analysed using program STATISTICA, version 9 (ANONYMUS 2009). Individuals were compared using one-way ANOVA and discriminant analysis. Species and sexes were compared using discriminant analysis and nested ANOVA. Clicking parameters were correlated with age. A phylogenetic distribution of clicking was determined in Bovidae. Results suggest differences between individuals and species. Differences between sexes wasn't significant. Correlation with age was significant.
Current relationship of public to repatriated population of European lynx (Lynx lynx) in the Bohemian Forest.
ROCHOVÁ, Markéta
In the territory of the Czech Republic, Eurasian lynx was exterminated in the beginning of the 19th century. Thanks to the reintroduction programs it has been living here again since 1980s. The maximum of its population was at its peak in 1996; however, since then it has been falling, especially due to illegal hunting. There are about 70 lynxes in Šumava, which is our greatest group. Questionnaires were made for schools in order to evaluate different attitudes to protection of nature in different types of schools, questionnaires for public and gamekeepers were aimed at attitudes to lynxes. The aim of the research was to give recommendation to improve objective and correct foreknowledge of the inhabitants about lynxes in the surroundings aimed at youths and preschool-age children. 432 children and students, 26 gamekeepers and 130 inhabitants of Sušice and its surrounding were approached. Very good knowledge about lynxes was found out in the group of pupils and students; on the other side, gamekeepers have mostly negative relationship with these animals. The relationship between public and lynxes is mostly positive.
