Plán péče o soukromou rezervaci Greenfields v Nikaragui
Kopták, Filip
The care plan is an integral part of each specially protected area. For the reserve Reserva Silvestre Privada Greenfields has not yet been similar to a conceptual document created. Based on the collection of collected data from a comprehensive inventory with FieldMap® technology, it was possible to process this expert conceptual document. The inventory was carried out on 41 representative circular experimental areas in the herb part of the reserve with a total area of 187,88 hectares to obtain the necessary information on the measured higher vascular plants for botanical and dendrometric results. The document serves as a basis for drafting measures on nature conservation and for the development of agroforestry plans.

Roubování mangovníku indického v jižní Etiopii
Kalinová, Nela
This thesis focuses on the grafting of mango (Mangifera indica) at the Chano Mile training center, located near town Arba Minch in southern Ethiopia. An experiment was conducted in this area concerning the grafting of different mango varieties. The work done and this thesis deals with the comparison method of grafting splice graft often used in the Czech republic and method of grafting cleft graft used in Ethiopia and subsequently evaluate the success of these methods. It also deals with the success of grafting individual mango varieties. The essence of this research is to propose improvement of procedures and methods of grafting used in South Ethiopia. The research conducted revealed significant differences between the different grafting methods.

Tropes and successful photographic strategies on Instagram
Patzner, Dominik ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Géla, František (referee)
This thesis, Tropes and Successful Photographic Strategies on Instagram, combines theoretical part with content analysis. Its aim is to confirm the proof of repetitive contents - tropes - throughout different Instagram accounts of selected photojournalists and an interpretation of the analysis outcome as photographic strategies, of which tropes are a part of. First chapter describes how the photojournalistic field changed under the emerge of social networks which brought new possibilities to working with images. Furthermore, it defines the Instagram environment and its contemporary functions, with reflection of the impact social networks had on the visual of photographs shared on those networks. Such tendency is called as instagramism. Next chapter deals with the topic of iconic photography and its current state which provides basis for the trope theory that is fundamental for the thesis because the research part is based on that theory. Methodology I chose for this research is content quantitative analysis inspired by the work of Marta Zarzcyka and Martijn Keppe. The main research question is if it is possible, that some tropes are frequent due to being a part of certain photographic strategy. The analysis focuses on the frequency of tropes in selected sample of images and results answer main...

Working with Poetic Texts at Primary School
BŘEZINOVÁ, Olga
The diploma thesis focuses on work with poem mostly in lessons concerning reading and literary education and also cross-curricular usage of it in elementary school. The theoretical part is dealing with findings from the field of literary theory and didactics focusing on work with poetic text, its basic terms and poetic tools. There is also a brief development of Czech authorial poetry and reference to folk´s literature. The questionnaires of the research part are focused on usage of poetic texts in teaching in elementary school, the attention is especially put on the way how it can be applied and the degree of its application. The practical part offers a database of activities for work with poem and samples of handouts which were verified by pupils of elementary school. Methodical double-sheet for teachers is attached to the handouts for pupils.

Coevolution of avian ectoparasites in the tropics
Gajdošová, Magdalena ; Munclinger, Pavel (advisor) ; Votýpka, Jan (referee)
Host-parasite associations are born by cospeciations or by host switches. Feather lice have traditionally been used as model parasites for studying these events and underlying ecological factors. By now tens of analyses have addressed comparisons of host and parasite phylogenies to study cospeciations and host switches in lice, however, these analyses are strongly biased towards the temperate zone. Tropical environment could provide new insight into the origin of host-parasite interactions, because it is ecologically unique. This work aims to supplement the knowledge of host-parasite associations in lice using coevolution analyses of two feather lice genera and their passerine hosts in tropical rainforest in Cameroon. It shows that lice in the tropics cospeciate rarely. To assess whether host switches are non-random and occur preferentially between hosts with specific traits, this work also analyses relations between parasite genetic distances and hosts' trait similarities. No effect of host morphology and spatial distribution was found. However, genetic distances of the lice strongly correlate with genetic distances of their hosts.

An intensity of plumage bacterial load and resistence against bacteria-caused feather degradation in tropical birds of Afromontane areas of Cameroon
Kyptová, Markéta ; Javůrková, Veronika (advisor) ; Adamík, Peter (referee)
Microorganisms are considered to be a significant selective factor affecting bird's life strategies. The body cover, including feather, is occupied by a wide range of bacteria that are in their host in different interactions. Group of microorganisms degradate keratins of feather is still most studied and most species of birds have them in feather. This feather degrading bacteria can disrupt the wear and its function and thus cause great losses to its fitness. Therefore, it seems likely that these feathers degrading bacteria and microorganisms generally play a significant role in creating defence mechanisms against their negative effects. One of the most important defence mechanisms to protect feathers against the action of microorganisms is the deposition of melanin pigments. This diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the total bacterial load in feathers and its resistance against bacterial degradation in 47 species of birds trapped in afromontan areas of western Cameroon. The specific aim of the thesis was to determine differences in the total number of bacteria in plumage in species with different life strategies, especially feeding and reproductive strategies. At the same time, the phtilochronological analysis of the quality of the plumage was performed and in vitro experiments were tested...

Seasonality of reproduction in tropical birds
Kačírek, Vojtěch ; Sedláček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Tomášek, Oldřich (referee)
The aim of of this paper is to summarize the knowledge of reproduction seasonality of tropical birds. Work includes characteristics of individual tropical environment and changes in abiotic conditions, focusing on the question, in what sense are tropics aseasonal and what is not. The work includes an overview of methodologies for collecting data during field research focused on monitoring reproduction in birds. The main part of this work is to compare the differences between biogeographic regions, regions and their stimuli, which most commonly lead to the creation of seasonal reproduction, followed by a comparison of individual functional groups of birds (food guilds).

Language of advertising
Krchňáková, Leontina ; Kitzlerová, Jana (advisor) ; Rajnochová, Natalie (referee)
This work is devoted to the Russian language advertising, which examines in an independent system. It aims are analyzing the text of Russian advertising in terms of its information and formal structure. It focuses on a specific aesthetic qualities of language, which the text uses. Work is further focused on the categorization of neologisms and neologisation of the Russian advertising. Next focus is on loanwords from the English language. Used research methods are descriptive and comparative. The outcome of this work is the systematization of information and the formal structure in the advertising text, we have also been shown to frequent infiltration of artistic means in the language of advertising and its active neologisation. Work can be used as a suitable basis for specifics in Russian advertising texts or a different language studies, possibly for development of marketing strategies and marketing research.

Altitudinal migrations in animals and their study methods
Zenklová, Tereza ; Sedláček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Klvaňa, Petr (referee)
Migration as a response to the seasonality of the environment is common in many animal taxa. Strong fluctuation of the climate is usually connected to regions in the temperate zone, quite common is in the tropical regions as well. Typically, it is even more pronounced in high altitudes. In such environment, many animals could migrate altitudinaly as a response to changes in the climatic conditions or food abundance. But determinants of altitudinal and long-distance latitudinal migrations could be different. The objective of this work is to determine factors influencing altitudinal migrations in diverse taxa (particularly in birds and bats) and in different biogeographical regions. I am trying to find some common features of migrating species, such as diet or temperature and rain tolerance. Especially tropical species are partial migrants, which means that only some individuals of the population migrate. I will discuss common features of such migrating infividuals. Study methods of altitudinal migration will be a part of this research as well. The work will be primarily concentrated on tropical regions.
