Slavíková, Ema ; Munclinger, Pavel (advisor) ; Exnerová, Alice (referee)
Melanism is an over-development of melanin in the skin and its cover that is described in a large number of species in vertebrates. Increasing number of studies observing melanistic traits in animal species tends to reveal genetical, physiological and behavioural characteristics associated with dark pigmentation. This bachelor thesis briefly summarizes knowledge about occurrence and characteristics of melanistic animals associated with their specific pigmentation. Presented are rules and theories associated with melanism in vertebrates, e.g., melanocortin theory, thermal hypothesis and Gloger's rule.
