Thus the thesis is presenting a comprehensive guide for creation of taxidermal mounts. At the same time, all the the stated procedures are applied at couple of species used for taxidermical purposes. Apart from the techniques itself which are described in methodological part, the thesis is enriched with the description of individual groups and therefore, creates theoretical introduction about the species.
