The growth and development of wings during ontogeny with emphasis on Palaeodictyoptera
Rosová, Kateřina ; Prokop, Jakub (advisor) ; Sroka, Pavel (referee)
The series of two fossil species belonging to the order Palaeodictyoptera from the Late Carboniferous of Kuznetsk Basin in Russia were re-examined. The two species as Tchirkovaea guttata and Paimbia fenestrata were investigated with emphasis on the wing growth and development in comparison with the structure of developing wings in recent mayflies. This fossil material of T. guttata and P. fenestrata was long considered by previous authors as undisputed evidence for a unique type of wing development in the Palaeozoic insects. The idea was that the larvae of these insects possessed the wings, which became articulated and fully movable already earlier during the postembryonic development and that these gradually growing wings changed their position from longitudinal to perpendicular to the body axis. Moreover, the development was supposed to include two or more subimaginal instars, implying that the fully winged instars moulted several times during postembryonic development. After detailed study of the available fossils and subsequent comparison of the fossil evidence with the development of wings in the recent mayfly Cloeon dipterum it was discovered, that the alleged series of immature, subimaginal and imaginal wings of T. guttata and P. fenestrata do not provide clear evidence that would support...

The Motive of Metamorphosis in the Work of Franz Kafka and Thomas Brussig
Vašků, Tereza ; Markvartová, Eva (advisor) ; Bučková, Tamara (referee)
This presented bachelor thesis deals with the comparison of two works with the motif of metamorphosis, Franz Kafka's short story Die Verwandlung (1915) and Thomas Brussig's novel Die Verwandelten (2020). The motif of metamorphosis has always fascinated artists and it appears in new works and thus enters the general consciousness. In the introductory section, the general theme of the motif of metamorphosis in literature and the division of metamorphosis is presented. The second part is devoted to an in-depth analysis of the works Die Verwandlung and Die Verwandelten. The metamorphosis of characters, the development of family relationships and communication are stressed the most. The third part is devoted to the question of the similarity of the works, since the novel by Thomas Brussig is undoubtedly based on Franz Kafka's short story (similar titles, division into 3 parts, the transformation of people into animals with the ability to think and communicate). The differences that exist between the works stem from the different times in which the works they were written. KEYWORDS The motif of metamorphosis, Die Verwandlung, metamorphosis, Die Verwandelten, Franz Kafka, Thomas Brussig
