Local dispersal of Golden-ringed dragonfly Cordulegaster boltonii
Hančíková, Barbora ; Černý, Martin (advisor) ; Dolný, Aleš (referee)
We carried out a pilot study of local dispersion and patterns of movement of Golden- ringed dragonfly Cordulegaster boltonii (Odonata: Cordulegasteridae). Cordulegasteridae is a family with many primitive traits present and rather restricted geographical distribution ranges (at least among European species). Their migration seems to be limited despite the body size that predetermines them to high mobility over large spatial scale. Linear habitat (upper parts of narrow forest streams) specialisation along with behavioural ecology (peculiar premating habit of scanning streams for females) is a unique life history, which bring lot of questions. We collected mark-release-recapture data during two adult flight seasons in year 2010 and 2011. We were simultaneously capturing patrolling males along three separate streams (Dračice, Koštěnický and Struha) in total length of 9.9 km in, located in the Natural park Česká Kanada, in the Southern Czech Republic. We captured and marked 440 individuals and recorded 113 recapture events (26 % recapture rate) in year 2010 and 355 individuals were marked, 171 recapture events made (48 % recapture rate) in 2011. Our data suggested high level of stream fidelity (only 10 inter stream dispersal events, 2.8 % dispersal rate). What was as well reflected in a closeness of...

Migrations of dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata)
Hančíková, Barbora ; Černý, Martin (advisor) ; Waldhauser, Martin (referee)
This study is aimed at the phenomenon of migration, which is not still fully explored and which, by different circumstances, undergo several species of dragonflies (Odonata). Only for a few species from several tens of migrants generally, their migration route and strategies are explored. These case studies are described and I am also dealing with those species of dragonflies for which migration is not fully explored, and I am pointing out the other possible fields of research. One of the aims of my work is the comparison of different attributes and strategies of migration in dragonflies with other migrants from insect as well as the migratory birds.
