Rediscovery of Darwin
Poklopová, Linda ; Frouz, Jan (advisor) ; Smrž, Jaroslav (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on Charles Darwin's The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms, with Observations on their Habits and its impact on contemporary science. Descriptive parts and sections about morphology have been frequently mentioned in the literature, however, most often as a historical curiosity. Major immediate impact and lasting interest was sparked by thoughts about the behavior of earthworms. Ideas about mixing of soil by worms instigated the publication of scholarly papers analyzing the distribution of earthworms and the importance of soil mixing for archaeology. Ideas related to the impact of mixing on soil formation and its fertility received much less attention. Hypotheses about the impact of bioturbation on landscape level were largely ignored, only to be rediscovered and further explored at the end of the last century and the beginning of the current one.

Initial knowledge of kindergarten pupils about natural phenomena.
FULMEKOVÁ, Kateřina
This thesis focuses on knowledge and notions children attending Kindergarten have about certain Invertebrate species, specifically an ant, an earthworm, a hard-bodied tick and a butterfly. A special interest is being taken in observing artistic expressions of the kids where these animals are concerned. The thesis also describes approaches used to educate children on the Invertebrate in Kindergarten and later in elementary school

Usage of dissection of invertebrate animals in education of biology at secondary school
Ondrová, Radka ; Mourek, Jan (advisor) ; Říhová, Dagmar (referee)
The thesis is focused on anatomy and implementation of dissections of 4 selected model invertebrates in school practice. The selected model species include swan mussel (Anodonta cygnea), stick insect (Medauroidea extradentata), cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha) and sea urchin (Echinus esculentus). In case of the cockchafer, the text is based on this model species, but the supporting photographs of dissection are taken from the tropical cetoniid beetle Pachnoda, which has very similar internal anatomy with the cockchafer. For all selected animals, I describe external and internal morphology as well as recommended methods of obtaining the material, proper killing of specimens, and dissection techniques. The text is supplemented with original digital macrophotographs. The thesis includes also an overview of primary and secondary school textbooks with focus on anatomy of the selected animals. The text is supplemented by a glossary of morphological terminology used in this thesis. Attached is a photographic atlas of dissections, which is a combination of this master thesis and my bachelor thesis (defended in 2010), in which I dealt with five model invertebrates in the same way. This is Ascaris suum, Lumbricus terrestris, Helix pomatia, Procambarus aff. fallax and Archimandrita tesselata. The complete...

Krajinně-ekologické‚ vodohospodářské‚ ekonomické a legislativní hodnocení záměru výstavby kanálu Dunaj - Odra - Labe: Potencionální vliv záměru výstavby a provozu plavebního kanálu Dunaj - Odra - Labe na biodiverzitu reprezentativních skupin bezobratlých živočichů v říčních nivách
Ústav půdní biologie AV ČR, České Budějovice ; Univerzita Palackého v Olomouci, Katedra ekologie, Olomouc ; Agentura ochrany přírody a krajiny ČR, Olomouc ; Merta, Lukáš ; Moravec, Pavel ; Resl, Květoslav ; Pižl, Václav ; Holuša, Otakar ; Tuf, Ivan H. ; Tufová, Jana ; Trávníček, Dušan ; Bezděčka, Pavel
Studie uvádí výsledky výzkumu potencionálního vlivu výstavby a provozu DOL na biodiverzitu žížalovitých, půdních bezobratlých (mnohonožek, stonožek, suchozemských stejnonožců), střevlíkovitých brouků, vodních brouků, vodních bezobratlých periodických tůní, prioritních druhů evropsky významných bezobratlých (mimo výše uvedené skupiny). Významné lokality fauny bezobratlých dotčené realizací DOL a posouzení variantnosti řešení.
