Černošková, Jarmila ; Vančata, Václav (advisor) ; Řezníček, Jan (referee)
This work presents study of parrot nestor kea. It is divided into two parts - theoretical and experimental part. Two chapters are dedicated to the theoretical part. This kind of parrot is connected to culture and relationship of local people. The first capture applies to enviroment in New Zealand, its inhabitants and their relationship between each other. The second chapter operates with detailed information about nestors. It's summary of available information about nestors from Czech and also foreign authors. The purpose of experimental part was to find out the possibilities of testing of cognitive abilities in conditions of zoo. We also passed the testing of cognitive abilities. We tried to define the factors that can involve the results of the testing. At the time we also suggested and proved a new system of experimental facility that can be used in our suggested future research. In the end we managed experimental testing of cognitive abilities of this kind of parrot that took place in zoo in Liberec. Key Words: nestor kea, research, cognitive abilities, zoo

Observation of play behavior of young gorilas in Prague ZOO
Svátková, Barbora ; Vančata, Václav (advisor) ; Vančatová, Marina (referee)
Observation of Observation the behavior of the game in the group of young gorillas at Prague Zoo Gorillas, as the largest among primates particularly vulnerable group of animals. In the wild, there is a continual loss of habitat due to timber extraction and rainforests. These animals live much social way of life. For the development of social communication between individuals in the offspring has a pivotal role in gaming behavior among both young themselves, and between young and adult individuals. Observations of gorillas, in order to describe the behavior of juveniles playing in the group of gorillas at the zoo in Prague during the two months were carried out. The observations took place, depending on the weather especially in the inner enclosure. The work has mapped the incidence of gaming behavior in juveniles and the Prague zoo. It was found that the frequency of gaming behavior depends on the age and sex, baby, and that game is usually initiated by an older teenage male. Initial assumptions that the babies are most active in the gaming behavior that immature males are a provocation to play more proactive than juvenile females and young males that the game tends to play more active than young females have been confirmed by observation. Furthermore, it appears that adults are not engaging...

Changes in the social arrangement of the lowland gorillas in Prague ZOO after incorporation of a new fertile female
Vítková, Eliška ; Vančata, Václav (advisor) ; Vančatová, Marina (referee)
In my several months of research I have been engaged in studying the distribution of affiliated and agonistic behaviour in a group and primarily towards a new female, over the course of ranking the new female into the group and changes in the social arrangement of the western lowland gorillas in Prague Zoo. For the research standardised observational methods were used, ad libitum sampling, focal animal sampling and scan sampling and statistical analysis on data was carried out with the aid of ethological software (Noldus- MatMan 1.0). Hypotheses stated that the agonistic contact towards Bikire would be initiated by females and above all from the female Shinda, also affiliated contact for Bikire would be initiated by the young and under aged, that the frequency of agonistic contact towards Bikire will gradually decline, that the other adults in the group are dominant to Bikire, that will result in lower affiliated contact and that the social structure will change in the group. From the results of the research it is confirmed, that agonistic contact towards the new female was initiated exclusively by females and in particular the female Shinda. Further it was confirmed, the initiators of the affiliated contact towards Bikire are the young and under aged female member Moja. It was revealed the other...

Engaging pre-school children in research: design and evaluation of participatory methods
Lněnička, Ondřej ; Přívratský, Vladimír (advisor) ; Vančata, Václav (referee)
The modern world is focused on children. We care much more about the right regime of our children, about hygiene and other aspects of their daily routine. So it is not surprising that many scientists start their recent projects on or with children. Anthropology is not an exception. This study creates a smaller part of a larger sleep research study which aims to investigate whether two community based social marketing campaigns influence parents' view of pre-school children sleep requirements and healthy sleep practices. This work targets directly pre-school children and wants to determine if we are able to educate children about healthy and right sleeping habits through specifically performed game based activities. The main aim of this study is to find out which games are useful for enhancing the results of the supreme Medical Anthropology research. Secondary aim is to solve what we can generally do for a better engagement of children in our research.
