Svalbard reindeer and its interaction with extreme polar environment
KAVANOVÁ, Veronika
Two distinct populations of Svalbard reindeer are compared based on their antler parameters. Relative antler size and number of tines are supposed to reflect well environmental conditions of the sedentary population within the growing season. Both studied populations are well spatially isolated due to high mountain ridges, glaciers and fjords. The population in Petuniabukta occupies sparsely vegetated region with harsh climatic conditions, whereas Skansbukta represents area with continuous tundra vegetation, milder climatic conditions and consequently also longer vegetation season. These environmental factors probably lead to significant differences in relative antler size and number of tines. Skansbukta population has larger relative antler size and higher number of tines than the population in Petuniabukta.
Cvakavé zvuky při chůzi u jelenovitých (Cervidae)
KAVANOVÁ, Veronika
The thesis deals with knee-clicking sound in cervids and summarizes current state of knowledge on its occurrence, origin and significance. The original research part of the study focuses on comparison of knee-clicking sounds of chosen individuals of Finnish forest reindeer (Rangifer tarandus fennicus) and white-lipped deer (Cervus albirostris). Sound characteristics are then discussed with respect to social status and general living conditions of each individual.
