Breeding of maned wolf ( Chrysocion brachyurus ) in the Czech zoological gardens with regard to the incidence of cystinuria.
BUBLINCOVÁ, Emilie
The bachelor thesis dealt with biology of South American's canid - the maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) with a focus on food in the wild, food in zoos in the Czech republic and problems of its breeding. After the exploration of knowledge about food and diseases in the wild I focused on the incidence of a cystinuria among maned wolves bred in zoos in the Czech republic. This disease is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by diverging amino acid cystine transport. During cystinuria a secondary cystine uroliths are creating, which depending on location can cause painful inflammation and infection. If this problem is not being solved, it can lead to death. Increased insolubility of cystine is the result of acidic pH in urine. The more is urine acid the worse is the solubility of cystine. The excretion of cystine is also dependent on the content and type of protein contained in the submitted feeding rations. It is not yet clear in what extent the disease affects maned wolves living in the wild. Although cystinuria is considered as a serious problem of breeding in captivity, there is no significant incidence of cystinuria in breedings of zoos in the Czech republic. The question is whether the incidence of this disease is not underestimated.

Development, growth and variability of semiaquatic bug Microvelia reticulata (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha: Veliidae)
VOJTOVÁ, Lucie
I investigated the effect of environmental factors (temperature and food availability) on the development and growth of semiaquatic bug Microvelia reticulata Burmeister, 1835. I focused on the developmental rate isomorphy. In a cross-designed experiment, M. reticulata was individually kept over whole juvenile period (eggs to reaching maturity) and subjected to treatments of three temperature (17, 21, 25 °C) and two food availability (full - daily feeding and reduced - 2 days interval) and their interaction. Development and growth was strongly influenced by temperature. Longest postembryonic development measured in individuals kept in the lowest temperature (54 days) contrasted to those kept in the highest temperature (16 days). Mortality was also significantly influenced by temperature; highest mortality rate was found in the 17 °C treatment. Effect of food availability was significant only in low temperature, resulting in the better survival of individuals on the high food level. In other temperature treatments, I found no effect of food on survival rate of M. reticulata. However, the food level influenced development significantly. In the 21 °C and 25 °C treatment, individuals on a full food developed faster than individuals on a reduced food. In 17 °C the food availability had no effect on time required to reach maturity. The best fitness (expressed as combination of low mortality rate and short development) was observed in 21 °C, both other temperature treatment were found stressing. Food availability had stronger effect on female individuals compared to males. In conclusion, I found no evidence of developmental rate isomorphy in M. reticulata. The research was supported by project of the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic GAČR P505/10/0096.
