ZOO Park Dvůr Králové - Generel
Havlík, Darina ; Kokeš, Václav (referee) ; Boháč, Ivo (advisor)
The proposal project is designing the development plan of the ZOO in Dvur Kralove nad Labem, as has designed a new exhibition of new lions, hyenas, birds of prey, the African desert and the object of refreshments for visitors. Architectural study addresses the design of objects - pavilions exposure for lions, hyenas, a pavilion with an aviary for birds of prey - bird world, the African pavilion terrarium desert and finally building with a cafe and toilets for the visitors of the ZOO. The proposed approach also runs the individual pavilions, then runs for the lions and hyenas and near runs in the African desert ungulates and seasonal runs. The proposed solution recognizes the zoo premises as a place for keeping large animal species composition, education of visitors, as the meeting place of rest and relaxation. The solution takes into account the complex relationships and interactions between exposures in a given area, not only in terms of architectural and aesthetic approach to the complex, but also in terms of operating and zoological.The zoo is a park with specific exposure to live with a balanced human rights - a visitor to one side and kept the animal on the other. The proposed solution to the Zoo is sensitive to the surrounding landscape, the existing urban and architectural design and space requirements for any award. From an operational point of view, the proposal accepted by all the requirements of the future. Areas and facilities for public service facilities, paddocks and animal quarters are each precisely defined and strictly separated geographically and operationally. Are the optimal conditions for the movement of animals between quarters and corral. The proposed solution is very rich in variety of areas, which in addition to the versatility of targeted animals, reflected in the richness of flora and fauna and thus contributing to environmentally high value sites. All spaces is a common need a sufficient level of daylight and direct sunlight. The entire area surrounding the exposure and access roads are designed to completely wheelchair accessible and accessible for persons with reduced mobility. The proposed solution to a sensitive development of existing space is achieved by a better, easier and easier availability. Term solutions proposed pavilions, yards and access roads is based on the themes of African villages. Small scale architectural and mutual spatial composition of individual materials of the new pavilions interconnected units reflects the typical mass breakdown of urban structures in the original locations of breeding species. Pavilions and animal quarters, and appropriately use the added space in the area of ??the zoo and complete the overall character of the place in the context of the current solution to urban zoo.

Revision of tapeworms of family Diphyllobothriidae (Eucestoda: Solenophoridae) from the monitor lizards
VLNOVÁ, Ivana
Diphyllobothriidean tapeworms are well-known parasites of mammals including man, but species parasiting in reptiles are much less known. These tapeworms belong to three genera (Bothridium, Duthiersia, Scyphocephalus) of the family Solenophoridae and are characterized by their unique scolex morphology. They occur in the intestine of varanid lizards and snakes. All three genera are known from Asia, two from Africa (Bothridium and Duthiersia) and one from Australia and South America (Bothridium). Individual genera are well characterised, but species composition of these genera is not well understood. This study surveyed available literary data on the genera Duthiersia and Scyphocephalus and provides new information based on new collected material from Africa and Southeast Asia and material deposited in helminthological collections.

Amphibians and reptiles of Vlkovská sandpit surrounding
RŮŽIČKA, Jan
The successional course is the most important factor affecting consequential characteristics of the mine areas. The succession is influenced by man both by his activity or inactivity, for example by using various types of reclamation or by leaving the area to spontaneous succession. The theoretical part of the thesis contains literal review of the literature dealing with succession, mining, man and biodiversity, reclamation and ecology of reptiles and amphibians. Practical part contains observing of those two model groups and evaluation of their abundance. I accomplished 13 herpetological observations during 7 months and I noted 7 species of reptiles and amphibians at 5 studied localities. I used non-invasive methods of the observation. I recorded following species: Zootoca vivipara, Lacerta agilis, Pelophylax esculentus, Pelophylax ridibundus, Pelophylax lessonae, Natrix natrix and Lissotriton vulgaris. The highest diversity was found at the locality "Jezírka" (7 species), the lowest at locality "Přesyp" (2 species). Using Chi-Square test I rejected the hypothesis, that there is no difference in abundance among studied localities (abundance of Pelophylax, Chí Square = 2764; d. f. = 4; p < 0,001 and Zootoca + Lacerta, Chí Square = 119; d. f. = 4; p < 0,001).

Parasitofauna of Reptiles of Europe
ŽÍDEK, Jakub
This thesis presents the most comprehensive historical overwiev of reptile parasites living in Europe, including basic taxonomic information, the known geographic range, host range and important references. Data needed to create a host-parasite list was obtained from scientific articles. In the present work are recorded parasites of the Eropean reptiles throughout their entire range. Moreover was created a comprehensive list of the European herpetofauna that were still incomplete, including threat status and endemic species.

The trade of reptiles protected by CITES convention between EU and third countries
NOVÁKOVÁ, Barbora
CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. The thesis is focused on trade in species protected by CITES reptiles in the Czech Republic in relation to third countries for the period 1992-2011. The information gathered was used from CITES annual reports of the Czech Republic. The main objective was the organization of data on trade in live reptiles and inanimate for the period 1992-2011 for further statistical processing. The results were statistically analyzed.

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.

Incidence and conditions of the existence of amphibians and reptiles
KUS, Lukáš
Thesis deals with the mapping of our species of amphibians and reptiles in the hills of St. Thomas and the right bank of Lipno. Findings of older data in the atlas and the lack of extension work to monitor the biodiversity of species inspired me to map the location. Alignment of the square with the border position was more than 40 years, closed intensive human activities. This reasoning was that the richness and diversity of amphibians and reptiles could be acknowledge. The aim was to monitor the designated area and to identify the occurrence of individual species of amphibians and reptiles. Locate their habitats in which they propose to Match and protect this natural heritage for the future.

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.
