Streptophytic Algae with a Focus on the Class Zygnematophyceae
Špička, Jan ; Soldán, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Ráček, Jan (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with streptophyte algae, with special attention given to the class Zygnematophyceae. The thesis is written as a literature review, aiming to summarize existing knowledge about streptophyte algae, particularly focusing on the class Zygnematophyceae. Additionally, the thesis elucidates the phylogenetic relationships within this group, which historically have been challenging. The thesis primarily focuses on the description, ecology, and taxonomy of streptophyte lineages, emphasizing their significance in the study of terrestrialization, or the colonization of land. A significant part of this thesis is therefore to highlight the ecological and evolutionary role of streptophyte algae, especially in the context of their adaptation to terrestrial environments. An additional aim of the thesis is to address the issues associated with the group of algae, given their inconsistent definition. The thesis points out that algae do not form a monophyletic group, as they encompass various taxonomic lineages. This thesis can serve as a foundation for further research in the field of algology, thereby contributing to a better understanding and orientation in the process of terrestrialization. It also indicates the need for more phylogenetic studies to enhance understanding of the...

Floristicko-ekologická studie sinic a řas v různých typech stojatých vod na severním Plzeňsku
ČECHUROVÁ, Markéta
The algological research was realized on 10 various water bodies in the northern Pilsen region during the year 2020. They were mainly post-mining sites or artificial ponds, where plankton samples were collected. Environmental characteristics (pH, conductivity, water transparency, temperature, amount of nutrients) were measured. Cyanobacteria and algae found in samples were identified to the possible lowest taxonomic level, also relative abundance levels were stated. The relationship between environment and the species composition was studied. A total of 77 phytoplankton species were recorded.

Pilot study on the issue of Euglenophyta in the Czech Republic
JURÁŇ, Josef
On the basis of literature review and floristic survey of almost 150 localities a revised checklist and a proposal of redlist of the Euglenophytes of the Czech republic were made. 286 taxa are reported from our state from which 5 taxa are new for Czech republic - Lepocinclis caudata, Monomorphina reeuwykiana, Phacus arnoldii, Trachelomonas bituricensis var. lotharingia, Trachelomonas volvocina var. punctata. The proposed redlist contains 9 taxa which are threatened by small number of localities or settle biotopes threatened by human impact.

Euglenophytes of the Czech Republic in view of South Bohemia and the Bohemian Forest
JURÁŇ, Josef
A list of photosynthetic euglenoids of the Czech Republic was made from works about algal flora of the Czech Republic and this list was confronted with similar works from the Slovak Republic, Poland, Romania, Ukraine and Slovenia. Following the literature about algae from South Bohemia and the Bohemian Forest a checklist of photosynthetic euglenoids from this area was compiled. Data from this list were completed by my samples from this area. There were found 2 taxons new for the Czech Republic and 3 taxons new for South Bohemia and the Bohemia Forest.
