Prevence škod působených zemědělskou technikou na zvěři
Palacký, Jan
The subject of the work is the prevention of damage caused by agricultural machinery to game. Attention in the solution was focused on agricultural machinery and mechanization used in pre-sowing soil preparation. Based on the identification of conflicts between small game and the used agricultural mechanization, related significant environmental aspects were identified. The thesis deals with the levels of biodiversity, environmental agricultural mechanization, which is conflicting from the point of view of wildlife. Individual species of small game that are injured or killed during these works are also identified. Based on the identified environmental aspects, related legal requirements were set. The result of the work is the determination of suitable methods for the prevention of these damages. As part of the design of technology, a suitable perspective method was selected for verification - measures to prevent and minimize damage to game. The method of monitoring with observational thermovision was chosen for the research, thanks to which it was possible to search for endangered young hares in selected localities together with the nesting grounds of the Lapwing with the aim of expelling them or marking them enabling subsequent fixation. Based on the performed monitoring, it was found that the use of manual thermal imaging can be used for active protection of small game.

Surviving of Northern Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) chicks in agriculture landscape
Kubelka, Vojtěch ; Šálek, Miroslav (advisor) ; Cepák, Jaroslav (referee)
The variability of egg-size within a bird species reflects different reproductive investments and, besides the intrinsic constraints and particular female quality, it can be affected by environmental factors, too. Moreover, the egg-size predetermines the chick performance. The knowledge of factors influencing precocial chick survival is crucial for better understanding of life-history strategies as well as for endangered species conservation. The Northern Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) represents a suitable model species for investigation of climate variables effects on egg-size and also to study factors influencing chick survival. Eggs in a total of 714 nests were measured during 13 breeding seasons over period 1988-2014 in South Bohemia and 293 lapwing chicks from 100 broods in 37 localities were monitored in 2013-2014. The mean egg-size through the whole season is positively affected by March precipitation, March clutches also negatively by minus temperatures in March. The higher intensity of rainfall there is during March, the bigger eggs are laid in March and the steeper is slope of decline in mean egg-size during season. This decline is more profound with lower rainfall in April. The effect of habitat is not significant. The body mass and condition of hatchlings is positively correlated with the...
