Biology and evolution of termite genus Neocapritermes (Blattodea: Termitoidea: Termitidae: Termitinae)
 Cintulová, Eliška ; Šobotník, Jan (advisor) ; Jakub, Jakub (referee)
My thesis is a brief summary of knowledge on termites, especially genus Neocapritermes. It describes ecology, nutrition, caste patterns and phylogenetics of termites. In detail, it characterizes Neocapritermes taracua, its ecology and defensive behaviour of workers. The main topic is formulation of phylogenetic hypothesis concerning position of genus Neocapritermes and relatedness among particular species of the genus. My results suggest that Planicapritermes and Dentispicotermes are the closest relatives of Neocapritermes, perhaps inner taxa located within the genus.

Evolutionary Ecology of Termites
 Stiblík, Petr ; Šobotník, Jan (advisor)
Termites are one of the most important ecological factors on Earth. By right, they are called ecosystem engineers. They influence their habitat by very complex ways - recycling of plant tissues, aerating soil, transporting huge amounts of organic matter. Thanks to their ability decompose up to 100% of local production of celulose and lignin, they are responsible for termination of coal origination. Their ecological and evolutionary succsess is based on organization of their eusocial community into several different castes. Precize distribution of tasks between castes is one of the crucial factors of evolutionary success of termites. It is the undertanding of their ontogeny and colony organization what is key to effective fight against pest species and, on the opposite, the key to effective help to those species important for decomposing and transport of organic matter in soil.
