Ravens respond to unfamiliar corvid alarm calls
DAVÍDKOVÁ, Marika
The following work encompasses a research in the behaviour of the common raven (Corvus corax). I tested the responses of the common raven to heterospecific alarm calls of various bird species that differ in familiarity and taxonomical relatedness to ravens. Two other corvid species (jays) and two non-corvids (gulls) were presented. The ravens were given stimuli from one jay and one gull - one of which was always familiar to the tested ravens (European) and one unfamiliar (American). The results suggest that familiarity is not as important as the membership to the Corvidae family.

Bryological Oriented Excursion in the Dolský mlýn Area
Davídková, Markéta ; Novotný, Petr (advisor) ; Skýbová, Jana (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to carry out an analysis of primary school textbooks considering bryophytes and bracken, as well as to plan a biological excursion in the area of Dolský Mlýn which would include mapping the terrain. The sixth chapter contains the analysis of nine textbooks from different publishing houses. I have compared them in terms of the number of pages dedicated to bryophytes and bracken and in terms of the number of stated bryophytes and bracken representatives. I have also compared whether the textbooks are provided by workbooks, methodological guides and other material, which could variegate biology and natural history teaching. The seventh chapter characterises the location. Mapping of the terrain for the planned excursion took place in September 2012. I chose fourteen suitable sites which are were easily accessible. The eight chapter includes methodical instructions of the excursion for teachers, worklists and the key to determining types of bryophytes. The practical verification of my thesis took place in April 2013 during an excursion of seventh grade pupils from the school ZŠ a MŠ Děčín IV. Laboratory training, which represents an integral part of the excursion took place in March due to unfavorable chmate conditions. Pupils determined mosses of genus Merike according to their...
