Mortality of reptiles on the road and its solution - a literature review
PORUBSKÁ, Nikola
High mortality of reptiles on roads is caused by the rapid development of transportation and the constant building of new infrastructure. Consequently, this may result in the isolation of populations, which may threaten their long-term viability. Mortality of reptile populations is also affected by the development of agriculture and the associated urbanization. In this work the overview of situation for a few selected species is presented based on available studies dealing with the negative influences acting on the species of reptiles. Further, there are discussed a few proposed measures to mitigate the mortality of individuals on roads and the necessity of public awareness of this problem.

The influence of type of post-mining areas restoration on vertebrates biodiversity - the model group of amphibians and reptiles
ZILVAROVÁ, Veronika
Surface mining affects all components and functions of landscape. The destruction of ecosystems results in declining variability of landscape structure, which means also lowering of biodiversity and ecological stability. Areas of spoil heaps are consecutively colonized by new groups of organisms, depending on type of reclamations of these areas. The aim of study is to describe diversity of reptiles and amphibians on sites after brown coal mining reclaimed in different ways (Velká podkrušnohorská spoil heap, Smolnická spoil heap) and at several localities in Slavkovský les surroundings. Theoretical part contains literal review of reptiles and amphibians diversity. Practical part includes herpetological research at the localities. The presence of Bufo calamita, Bufo bufo, Bufo viridis, Rana lesonae, Rana Temporaria,Rana esculenta,Hyla arborea,Pelobates fuscus, Trituris cristatus, Triturus vulgaris,Triturus alpestris, Lacerta agilis, Natrix natrix was proved by field study during the years 2009 ? 1010. The work creates a part of larger long-term study evaluating reclamations of landscape affected by surface mining of brown coal in Podkrušnohoří area. The results will be connected with another vertebratological studies at the locality. The theme is supported by NAZV QH82106 and NPV 2B08006 projects.

The proposal of the educational programme Amphibians and Reptiles
BALÍČKOVÁ, Lenka
The aim of the diploma thesis was to create the project of the educational programme with motivational components, concerned mainly on amphibians and reptiles in our country. The program is intended for pupils of the 7th classes of the basic school, mainly in the surrounding the town Horažďovice, because it takes into account the particular conditions of this region. The conceptual and structural analysis of subjects Amphibians and Reptiles in school-books, which are used in the Czech republic, was done before the programme scheduling. The next data source was the faunistic research of the area in question and comparison of results with published data. The educational programme includes the parts {\clqq}Amphibians``, {\clqq}Reptiles`` and {\clqq}Questions and tasks``. Some of the tasks were practically tested.
