Diatoms of Quaternary Sediments from the Lake Komorany
Poštulková, Anna ; Rajdlová, Hana (advisor) ; Houfková, Petra (referee)
Diatoms are unicellular phototrophic organisms, whose siliceous frustules preserved in sediment have broad palaeolimnological application. Sediments of former Komořany Lake count among the richest Czech sediments in quaternary diatoms. This already destroyed locality is examinated in search and practical part of work. The search part contains characterization of diatoms and locality Komořany Lake. Diatoms are described in paleontological point of view, that is why the main attention is payed to morfology of frustule, their ecology and application in geological sciences. However, for complete image of this various group, the new pieces of knowledge about their taxonomy or evolution are not overlooked. The root of the work is summarization of accessible literature about Komořany Lake with special attention to research of diatoms. In practical part diatom valves were isolated from samples of sediment from profile PK-1-W, 18 long-lived sections were prepared and 6 of them were used for taxonomical determination. The 47 taxons of diatoms were found, 7 of them had not been included in work of Řeháková (1986). The synonymy of taxons are created in comparison with results of Řeháková (1986). From taken pictures are created 6 taxonomical plates. Key words: diatoms, Bacillariophyceae, Komořany Lake,...

Historical occurrence of bark beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) in the Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic, and possibility of its study in lake sediments
Vytisková, Markéta ; Hořická, Zuzana (advisor) ; Hruška, Jakub (referee)
The bachelor's project is closely related to the problem of bark beetle calamities in the Bohemian Forest National Park in the Czech Republic, and to a possible use of paleolimnological methods for their historical reconstruction. The importance of subfossil beetles as a proxy in assessing past changes in the nature is growing, and the occurrence of remains of Scolytinae in lake sediments has been confirmed - also in the Bohemian Forest paleolake Stará jímka. The thesis is a literature review of (1) the relationship between spruce forests and bark beetle gradations in the area, and (2) chitinous remains of bark beetle and other Scolytinae preserved in lake sediments, and their paleoecological implications. Key words Bohemian Forest (Czech Republic), spruce forests, bark beetle, paleolimnology, subfossil Coleoptera, paleolake Stará jímka

The Quaternary Paleoecological Analysis of the Soos National Nature Reserve
Rajdlová, Hana ; Holcová, Katarína (advisor) ; Novák, Jan (referee)
The Quaternary Paleoecological Analysis of the Soos National Nature Reserve The aim of this proposed diploma thesis is to describe the structure of diatom communities in the diatomite deposits of the Soos National Nature Reserve and compare the finding of this thesis with those of older publications. Another aim was to reconstruct the history of the basin trough with the outputs of diatom analysis accomplished in the 3,4 m long sediment profile. The similarity of diatom communites in individual diatomite types was also tested. Key words: subfossil diatoms, Soos National Nature Reserve, paleolimnology, Late Glacial, Holocene
