Dynamika společenstva makrozoobentosu podhorského toku s početnou populací raka signálního.
ŠŤASTNÁ, Hana
Assessment of macroinvertebrates population at the Křesanov brook above the town of Vimperk. It contains a large population of the signal crayfish. It is non-native in Europe. Sampling was carried out in 2020. Macroinvertebrates sampling was done. Then, in the laboratory, its determination and detection of abundance and biomass was done. Statistical analyses were subsequently made using hydrobiological indices from the collected data. The analyses compared two stream segments that were different in some parameters.

Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in macroinvertebrates: relationship between concentrations and organism size
Hanzlíková, Lenka ; Dočkalová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Hořická, Zuzana (referee)
The size of benthic organisms is one of many possible factors affecting resultant concentrations of metals accumulated in organisms from surrounding water environment. Partial information is presented in research publications which state this dependency with different conclusions. So far the dependence was not unequivocally interpreted. Relationship between concentration and body size may differ among various metals and also between individual species of macroinvertebrates. This bachelor thesis is a research of professional literature and its result is analysis of existing knowledge of types of this dependancy and comparison of individual representatives of aquatic invertebrates and individual metals. Significance of the trend of dependence as a factor having the influence on the final interpretation of data on the concentrations of monitored substances, especially heavy metals is to be assessed. Result of this work should facilitate the interpretation of data for future analysis of heavymetals in aquatic invertebrate organisms. Keywords: bioaccumulation, heavy metals, macroinvertebrates

Assessment of macroinvertebrates diversity in contex of physical river habitat quality
Nováková, Barbora ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Havlíková, Petra (referee)
Research of macroinvertebrates is currently an important part of the assessment of stream quality. Basic characteristics influencing macroinvertebrates communities in the streams are elements from the external environment influencing streams, specifically basic geographic parameters of the site, land-use in the catchment and characteristics of the banks. These elements have a considerable influence on effect of the basic parameters in the stream, which are flow, sediment structure, input of organic material and pollution. Research part of the thesis is about the parameters influencing macroinvertebrates communities. Research area of this work includes three different catchments in the upper part of Blanice catchment area near Prachtice. There is one nature stream with forest in it's catchment, stream with a predominantly meadow basin and last stream is characterized by two distinct stretches - a revitalized section and a section with concrete bottom. The subject of this diploma thesis is evaluation of diversity of macroinvertebrates communities in all streams in the research area. Thesis evaluate communities of macroinvertebrate using a wide range of indexes (BMWP score, ASTP index, EPT index a diversity indexes) and compares their diversity by using rank-abundance graph. All results are summarized...

Makrozoobentos zarostlého a volného bahnitého litorálu kaprových rybníků
KAJGROVÁ, Lenka
The aim of the study was to evaluate the quantitative composition of benthic invertebrates in the littoral zone with emeragent plants and outside the macrophyte beds. For these purposes, two carp ongrowing ponds were selected in the Czech Republic (Blatná region) with traditional carp (Cyprinus carpio) farming and two organic ponds in Austria (Waldviertel). Samplings were performed in monthly intervals (May - September 2018). Samples were taken from the area of open water (pelagial) and from the littoral zone. The evaluation of benthic macroinvertebrates was supplemented by in-situ monitoring of basic parameters of the aquatic environment, granulometric score and rating of organic substances in the bottom sediment of ponds, both in the pelagic and littoral zone. For the sampling of pond macroinvertebrates associated with the root system of the hard emergent vegetation, a core sampler was chosen that penetrates the roots of hard littoral vegetation. After the samples were processed (collection and weighing) in the laboratory, the organisms were divided into three groups - Chironomidae, Oligochaeta and Varia. The results were presented in graphical form. Regarding results of environmental conditions of the studied ponds, they did not differ significantly. According to the analysis of the data, macroinvertebrates density was higher in organic fish farming ponds than in traditional fish farming ponds. In the litoral zone, the average density of benthic invertebrates was higher than in the pelagiac zone. The biomass of aquatic macroinvertebrates on average was also higher in the littoral zone.

Limnology of the Na Zeleném Brook in the Slavkov Forest
Krám, Pavel ; Senoo, T. ; Beneš, F. ; Čuřík, Jan ; Veselovský, F.
The contribution examined stream hydrochemistry and hydrobiology of the catchment occupied by spruce forest and underlain by amphibolite. The Na Zeleném catchment exhibited favourable hydrochemical conditions and high biodiversity of macroinvertebrates in contrast to another spruce catchments (Lysina and Pluhův Bor) situated nearby but underlain by geochemically different bedrocks (base-cation poor granite and Mg-rich serpentinite).

Freshwater macroinvertebrates and their use for assessment of environmental changes in running waters
Kolaříková, Kateřina ; Stuchlík, Evžen (advisor) ; Matěna, Josef (referee) ; Porcal, Petr (referee)
The dissertation thesis consists of five articles, bringing together results from investigations of macroinvertebrates in running waters. The use of freshwater macroinvertebrate organisms to assess environmental changes was based on the following facts: a) the presence/absence of taxa provide information about abiotic factors and/or about the pollution status of the site, b) they are indigenous and sedentary species, so that the environmental implications can be related to the site they live on, c) the organisms accumulate xenobiotic elements or compounds, thus reflecting the contaminant level in the environment. Localization of the sampling sites was related to the "hot-spots" of environmental problems. The particular investigations were carried out in the Elbe River catchment and in the Czech mountains on the selected headwater streams of the GEOMON network of the Czech Geological Survey. The Elbe was considered one of the most polluted rivers across Europe in the second half of the past century until the socio-economic transformation after 1989. The headwater streams in the Czech Republic were chosen with respect to the problem of acidification. The ability of bioaccumulation of xenobiotics in macroinvertebrate organisms was used to assess the long-term load of the Elbe ecosystem with trace...

Assessment of water quality and physical river habitat chages in the interaction on macroinvertebrates.
Altmann, Martin ; Matoušková, Milada (advisor) ; Benešová, Libuše (referee)
Streams are an important part of the most ecosystems, they help them to maintain their stability and function. They should therefore be the subject of study and especially protection. For their monitoring and assessment of ecological status is increasingly used biomonitoring of benthic fauna, which well reflects the biotic and abiotic conditions in physical habitats of streams. These abiotic conditions of physical habitats which are shaped by physical and chemical factors are the subject of literature search part of this work. The second part is about the research in experimental catchments of Zbytinský brook and Tetřívčí brook, tributaries of headwater Blanice river which springs in the foothills of the Šumava mountain range. The research took place on 5 sampling sites which are different in hydromorphological parameters and rate of human activities impact. There was assessed water quality following the previous research and its relationship with discharge conditions. In the case of Tetřívčí brook, there was also assessed physical habitat and macrozoobenthic community. Zbytinský brook catchment was in the past significantly affected by agricultural activities. The main reach, which flows through Zbytiny village with 300 inhabitants, and its tributaries were meliorated. The only one tributary...
