Molluscan fauna of the Czech Republic
Cermanová, Michaela ; Hlava, Jakub (advisor) ; Husák, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis deals with the problems of molluscs on the area of the Czech Republic. The introduction characterizes the tribe of molluscs and its history. The following part focuses on the morphology and anatomy of terrestrial and water molluscs, their ecology and biology. There is a detailed description of the life cycle of snails and clams, their way of life and food. The character of spread on the area of the Czech Republic and their migration connected with settlement of new biotopes was described at water molluscs. The following chapter deals with the question of collection and identification of molluscs, it describes several methods of collecting and identification of terrestrial and especially water molluscs. A big part of the thesis is devoted to endangering of the mollusc fauna and negative influence of people on the malacofauna by creating new conditions in the landscape. The negative influences, by which people significantly change the landscape character, include for example forest clearing, construction of dams or longitudinal stream regulation. The last chapter describes the unoriginal species of terrestrial and water molluscs on the area of the Czech Republic, which represent another danger for our original malacofauna.
Morphologic-genetic study of populations of salt-water gastropod \kur{Hexaplex trunculus} from Mediterranean sea
MACÍK, Jiří
Variability in genes and shell shape of salt water gastropod Hexaplex trunculus (Linné, 1758) was compared among the samples from three Croatian coastline localities, four localities on Greek island Lefkada and two localities from south France coastline in total number of 464 specimens. Genetical criteria were not found for separating individual populations. No variability were found in 683 bp long fragment of gene for michondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit one (COI). Differences among populations were not significant, even in conection of my data with the data of recent portuguese study (sequences from GenBank). Differences among populations were found by the geometric morphometric method. Based on these results, morphotypes for certain habitats were determined. During the study, high level of tributyltin (TBT) pollution in the Mediterranean sea causing sexual malformation called imposex phenomenon, was proved in this species of gastropod.
