Spontaneous directional preferences in \kur{Eublepharis macularius}: Laterality and cardinal direction preferences
VOTRUBOVÁ, Kateřina
Despite increasing numbers of studies on orientation, magnetoreception and laterality, there is only few of them focused on reptiles. This thesis points out this issue and tries to come up with a new infromation about orientation in reptiles. Practical part is aimed at laterality in leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) by testing it in T-maze. It also focuses on potential influence of the Earth's magnetic field on orientation in T-maze and geckos ability to perceive this field. Additionally, this thesis include some general evaluation of gecko's etology throughout the experiment.
Behavioural evidence for magnetic orientation in rodents
OLIVERIUSOVÁ, Ludmila
Magnetoreception in rodents was studied in this Ph.D. thesis. Behavioural evidence for compass magnetic orientation was found in two subterranean African rodents: the social giant mole-rat (Fukomys mechowii) and solitary silvery mole-rat (Heliophobius argenteocinereus) and epigeic rodent bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus). The study is also focused on the role of magnetic orientation in solving the orientation task in Morris water maze in bank vole.
Magnetic orientation in the bank vole (\kur{Myodes glareolus})
NOVÁKOVÁ, Monika
The magnetic orientation was established in several species of rodents, but the mechanism of its perception has not been determined. Aim of this work was to verify magnetic sense in the bank vole (Myodes glareolus) and try to solve the nature of its magnetoreception in tests carried out in total darkness and when the horizontal component was reversed and the vertical component was inverted. A spontaneous directional preference in the magnetic field was tested in circular arena.
