Art as Evolutionary Adaptations
 LATUROVÁ, Martina
The content of this bachelor work is to introduce the main concepts of evolutionary aesthetics. It uses the ideas come of the Charles Darwin's adaptive theories to explain the origin of Art. It attempts to defend the belief that Art is able to provide some advantages in the fields of natural and sexual selection for survival or reproduction. This work will rely in particular on the contemporary naturalistic aesthetics theories of Denis Dutton and Geoffrey Miller.

Is it possible to demonstrate selection in science teaching? Simulation of natural selection in a model organism.
 MARVANOVÁ, Aneta
This thesis examines the effect of natural selection on the rate of development of Microvelia reticulata. Natural selection is an integral part of evolutionary biology. The main task was to determine whether the selection of the developmental rate reflected in the change of development. Selected individuals were reared in the same conditions from egg to imago in a total of three replications in a strain selected for rapid development, slow development and unmanipulated control. There was distinct increase in developmental rate between initial and first selected generation all replications of control strain, followed by slight decrease in all succeeding generations. Similar pattern was present in the strains selected for slow development. A comparably distinct increase in developmental rate appeared also in the strains selected for the fast development, but it was not followed by succeeding slowdown, or the slowdown of the developmental rate was not as remarkable as in other strains. According to not too convincing results and remarkable time and space demands of this research, it is unreal to run similar long-term experiment in school conditions. Research was supported by project of the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic no. P505/10/0096.
