Sledování sociálního chování u morčat v modelové situaci
ELIÁŠ, Zdeněk
The aim of this work was to find out the social behaviour and interactions among the established group of guinea pigs (Cavia aperea var. porcellus) and the newly assembled groups, with each group being monitored three times, always for 24 hours. A total of 12 short-haired guinea pigs of smooth coat breed with balanced age distribution, divided into three groups, were monitored. The behaviour and activities of guinea pigs were recorded on a camcorder followed with subsequent evaluation of video recordings by means of ethograms and verbal description. Among monitored and evaluated activities were rest and sleep, feed and water intake, comfort behaviour, movement and conflict. In guinea pigs, there were proven differences in behaviour for all of the activities monitored. The individuality of individuals and their different behaviours manifested themselves, with each of them behaving a little bit differently from the others. By comparing the groups, significant differences in behaviour were found. Each individual behaved a little bit differently, but the same pattern of behaviour was not repeated among the groups. Also, it was found that the number of conflicts among guinea pigs decrease overtime for which the guinea pigs are together.
The personality traits in the common vole (\kur{Microtus arvalis}): The behavioural display in the Elevated plus maze
ELIÁŠ, Zdeněk
The aim of this study was to determine whether the vole (Microtus arvalis) exhibit behavioral variability in testing in the elevated plus maze that is the most common used test to assess anxiety. The behavioural variability was demonstrated in an elevated plus maze. PCA analysis clearly distinguished behavioural types. Further differences were found in the locomotion trajectory between males and females and between non-lactating and lactating females.
