Sources of Sorbus aria agg. variation
Bílá, Jana ; Urfus, Tomáš (advisor) ; Krahulec, František (referee)
The main drivers of microevolution in the genus Sorbus are interspecific hybridisation and polyploidy. The fate of new hybrid and polyploid taxa is determined by their mode of reproduction. Especially apomixis could be very advantageous for these new taxa. The S. aria agg. (subg. Aria) plays an important role within the genus since its members are involved in all hybridisation events and thereby is responsible for the substantial part of variation of the genus. Flow cytometry, molecular markers and multivariate morphological analyses were employed to evaluate the processes generating the variability in the S. aria group. Three ploidy levels were detected among species from subg. Aria in the Czech Republic. All of them could be found in the South Moravia, whereas only tetraploids occur in the Bohemia region. Moreover, most of the Czech taxa (5 out of 7) grow also only in the South Moravia which is therefore considered as a centre of diversity of the genus Sorbus in the Czech Republic. Flow cytometry seed screen revealed 7 modes of reproduction among the individuals from S. aria agg. A wide range of sexual and apomictic types of reproduction including reduced and unreduced gametes was detected. All of the diploid individuals are completely sexual. Among polyploid taxa, most of the species are...

Sources of Sorbus aria agg. variation
Bílá, Jana ; Urfus, Tomáš (advisor) ; Chumová, Zuzana (referee)
Genus Sorbus is a very complex group of vascular plants. Various genetic lineages which can be fixed by apomixis are driven by interspecific hybridisation and polyploidy. Species from S. aria agg. have the highest variation probably due to an extra mechanism - introgressive hybridisation. There are several concepts of the aggregate which are usually based on three main species: S. aria, S. umbellatta and S. graeca. Therefore, new microspecies are derived by genome doubling and hybridisation between the main species. Units of the aggregate are assessed differently as the distinction of taxa is very complicated due to the overlap of the morphological variability. The aggregate itself can be sometimes considered as a category for species of uncertain origin or identification. Four species from S. aria agg. occur in the Czech Republic. In addition, the conclusion offers questions that will be addressed in the master's thesis.

Evolution and systematics of water-crowfoots (Ranunculus sect. Batrachium)
Hanzlíčková, Johana ; Prančl, Jan (advisor) ; Bílá, Jana (referee)
Water-crowfoots (Ranunculus sect. Batrachium) are among the most complicated groups of aquatic angiosperms. Processes such as polyploidization (there are five known ploidy levels) and hybridization play the main role in evolution of the subgenus, resulting into thereticulate evolution of the whole genus Ranunculus. Furthermore, newly established hybrids and polyploids can be fixed in nature via clonal growth or autogamy. Fenotypic plasticity and considerable morphological reduction contribute to the taxonomic complexity of the group and in combination with microevolutionary processes lead to the existence of cryptic variation.Therefore it can be said that the current taxonomic classification is dubious and requires a revision. The thesis also includes a brief introduction to the cryptic species complex Ranunculus trichophyllus agg. and a description of methods which will be applied in following master thesis.

Self-concept and sociometrical position in children with learning disabilities
BÍLÁ, Jana
The diploma paper looks at specific learning difficulties as a factor affecting,inter alia, social life of individuals. The initial section pays attention to theoretical concepts encountered in this field whilethe main part explores dyslectic adults and compares them with individuals undergoing normal development. The research effort aims primarily at the socially relevant aspects of their lives, in particular the self-concept.
