Which effects govern intensity and timing of bird migration?
 Koukolíková, Anna ; Lučan, Radek (advisor) ; Peške, Lubomír (referee)
Avian migration is one of the most striking manifestations of environmental seasonality in areas with higher latitude and is therefore not surprising that the study of this phenomenon has attracted biologists since immemorial times. One of the interesting findings is the fact that the spring and autumn migration does not take place at all times with the same intensity, but in most species noticeable migration maxima (waves)can be observed, often present over large geographical areas. Such synchronicity in migration behaviour implies the existence of specific triggers that affect migratory species populations. The presented thesis summarizes the current state of knowledge of factors (e.g. climatic, lunar, solar etc.) affecting the timing and intensity of bird migration. Key words: migration ecology, Aves, climate

Telemetric monitoring of the feral pigeon ( Columba livia f. domestica) population in the Prague streets Plzeňská and Mahenova
 Šimánek, Jakub ; Řezníček, Jan (advisor) ; Peške, Lubomír (referee)
The thesis studies the quantity of feral pigeons (Columba livia f. domestica) and their daily activities in the locality of Smíchov in Prague. The research was focused on finding whether there is only one group of pigeons bound to the locality by daily activities connected to their consistent alimentary habits or whether there are two subgroups, one of them staying in the locality and the other one leaving to get food further from the city. A method of wing tags with further tracking and modern GPS telemetry was used for the research. A total of 10 birds was caught and marked by a wing tag and one subject was tracked by GPS telemetry. Using these methods, it was found that the pigeons are divided into two subgroups in the locality, one of them sticking to their overnight area even during the day and getting fed on garbage or by people and the other one leaving to get food on the fields 6km away from the city. In the sowing period, the whole group took part in leaving to get the food in the fields further from the city. Key words: feral pigeon, abundance, telemetry
