Habitat preferences of red deer and sika deer in the Doupov Mts.
Löwe, Radim ; Ježek, Miloš (advisor) ; Husinec, Václav (referee)
This master thesis is focused on GPS telemetry of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and sika deer (Cervus nippon) in the Doupov Mts., the Czech republic. Positional data from 14 red deer does and 2 sika deer does was collected during the study period of April 2013 to February 2016. The main aim was to determine habitat preferences of does with the use of the very precise vertical differentiation of vegetation created by air laser scanning of the surface (LiDAR technology). The study examines the dependence of the average maximum height of vegetation nearby positions of does on the time of year and time of day. For the evaluation was used two-way factorial analysis of variance. The highest average height of the vegetation nearby does was found during the day and the lowest during the night. Does of red deer and sika deer occurred in open habitats particularly at night, where they were actively seeking for food and more closed habitats with higher vegetation during the day, where they could hide themselves. Focusing on a period of the year, the height of vegetation in the summer period without hunting was significantly lower than in the summer period with hunting. This could be caused by starting hunting season but also it might be a response to reduced quality of available grass by aging. The two does of sika deer were treated individually. Significant differences were revealed between both does. However they both were occupying habitats with the lowest height of vegetation at night during the rut season.
The gained results can now be used to supplement information about ethology of red deer and sika deer. The comprehensive knowledge of ethology can be directly used in the management of these two species, particularly for hunting efficiency and subsequent reduction of their population numbers, particularly in the case of sika deer. However these results can be directly used in forest management in active protection of forest stands against damage by wild game.

Návrh koncepce managementu populace jelena lesního (Cervus elaphus) v honitbě VLS ČR, s.p., divize Lipník nad Bečvou
Kolář, Jiří
The goal of this disertation is to suggest a management of deer breeding in Libavá, where one of the six forest divisions of the state company farm with forest industry and gamekeeping. Military Forests and Farms - a division of Lipník nad Bečvou, so that there was a mutual cooperation between these two ways of farming. The proposal of this conception solves quantitative and partially qualitative section of deer population, the target quantity and location of winter object and optimal feeding regime of deer not only in these objects but also outside of them.

Analysis of factors affecting the welfare of red deer
PŘICHYSTALOVÁ, Michala
Red deer (Cervus elaphus) is a frequent subject of human interest. It can be managed in the wild, can be intensively bred in game preserves, can be the subject of game farming or bred as a pet, subspecies of red deer occur in the zoos. In the management of deer in the wild can not fully eliminate all negative impacts on the welfare, management of deer in the game preserves should follow optimal breeding conditions completely. The aim of this work was to evaluate the extent to which the red deer management in the Czech Republic is to ensure welfare. There is a list of analysis of reports of the red deer management, statements of the environmental analysis of the red deer and livestock conditions in selected game preserves.
