Incidence and conditions of the existence of amphibians and reptiles
KUS, Lukáš
Thesis deals with the mapping of our species of amphibians and reptiles in the hills of St. Thomas and the right bank of Lipno. Findings of older data in the atlas and the lack of extension work to monitor the biodiversity of species inspired me to map the location. Alignment of the square with the border position was more than 40 years, closed intensive human activities. This reasoning was that the richness and diversity of amphibians and reptiles could be acknowledge. The aim was to monitor the designated area and to identify the occurrence of individual species of amphibians and reptiles. Locate their habitats in which they propose to Match and protect this natural heritage for the future.

The occurrence and biotope preferences of amphibians in former military area near České Budějovice.
NĚMEC, Stanislav
Submitted bachelor thesis deals with biotope preferences of amphibians. Experimental part of my work was carried out at former military tank ground near České Budějovice from March until June 2010. Biotope preferences were examined at these species: European Fire-bellied Toad, European tree frog, Agile Frog and Common toad. Since the end of military activity in 1990, there has been growing ecological succession which influences each of the species. The aim of my work was to find out what factors have influence on particular species and compare the outcomes with those of previous works carried out between 1995 and 2008. The observation was pursued during the daytime, above all at night, when frogs are most active. The outcomes has been statistically evaluated and it was found out that great pond surfaces are the most suitable for European tree frog and Common toad, whereas European Fire-bellied Toad and Agile Frog do not mind gradual growth of vegetation, moreover it suits them. The data from 1995 indicate appearance of European tree frog also in pools. My outcomes from 2010 confirmed their appearance only in ponds. On the contrary, Agile Frog has been seen here recently only seldom, in 2010 together with European Fire-bellied Toad it was the most common species. Common toad was the most precious species in the examined habitat. It was found only a few specimens. Appearance of Common toad was registered in ponds in 1995 but this was not confirmed in 2010.

The influence of type of post-mining areas restoration on vertebrates biodiversity - the model group of amphibians and reptiles
ZILVAROVÁ, Veronika
Surface mining affects all components and functions of landscape. The destruction of ecosystems results in declining variability of landscape structure, which means also lowering of biodiversity and ecological stability. Areas of spoil heaps are consecutively colonized by new groups of organisms, depending on type of reclamations of these areas. The aim of study is to describe diversity of reptiles and amphibians on sites after brown coal mining reclaimed in different ways (Velká podkrušnohorská spoil heap, Smolnická spoil heap) and at several localities in Slavkovský les surroundings. Theoretical part contains literal review of reptiles and amphibians diversity. Practical part includes herpetological research at the localities. The presence of Bufo calamita, Bufo bufo, Bufo viridis, Rana lesonae, Rana Temporaria,Rana esculenta,Hyla arborea,Pelobates fuscus, Trituris cristatus, Triturus vulgaris,Triturus alpestris, Lacerta agilis, Natrix natrix was proved by field study during the years 2009 ? 1010. The work creates a part of larger long-term study evaluating reclamations of landscape affected by surface mining of brown coal in Podkrušnohoří area. The results will be connected with another vertebratological studies at the locality. The theme is supported by NAZV QH82106 and NPV 2B08006 projects.

The proposal of the educational programme Amphibians and Reptiles
BALÍČKOVÁ, Lenka
The aim of the diploma thesis was to create the project of the educational programme with motivational components, concerned mainly on amphibians and reptiles in our country. The program is intended for pupils of the 7th classes of the basic school, mainly in the surrounding the town Horažďovice, because it takes into account the particular conditions of this region. The conceptual and structural analysis of subjects Amphibians and Reptiles in school-books, which are used in the Czech republic, was done before the programme scheduling. The next data source was the faunistic research of the area in question and comparison of results with published data. The educational programme includes the parts {\clqq}Amphibians``, {\clqq}Reptiles`` and {\clqq}Questions and tasks``. Some of the tasks were practically tested.

Amphibians of the Protected landscape area Blaník
ČANDA, Jan
The principal aim of this diploma thesis was the mapping of amphibian species inhabiting the Protected Landscape Area Blaník. The field research was carried out during the years 2005 to 2006. The occurrence of following 8 species and 1 synklepton was confirmed: Smooth Newt (Triturus vulgaris), Warty Newt (Triturus cristatus), Alpine Newt (Triturus alpestris), Fired Bellied Toad (Bombina bombina), Common Spadefood (Pelobates fuscus), Common Toad (Bufo bufo), European Tree Frog (Hyla arborea), Grass Frog (Rana temporaria) and Water Frogs (Rana synklepton esculenta). The determination was performed on the basis of morphologic characters and voice expressions. During the field research suitable reproductive habitats of particular species were studied with respect to numbers of specimens found there. Based on presented results, habitats valuable for protection mere marked. The records of particular species were written into maps of the species occurance.
