Space-time continuum links of announcements about deaths and injuries of birds in rescue stations in the Czech Republic.
 HROMÁDKO, David
Birds represent the most frequent group of patients that rescue centers take care of. Road transport, glass panels, electric lines and poaching are main risk factors for birds in anthropogenic landscape. Thanks to rescue centers, many injured or endangered birds are cured and released into the wild every year. That is why rescue centers play an important role not only in environment protection but also in ecological education. This dissertation interprets causes of admisssions of birds wounded by anthropogenic lanscape. In this work I processed the databases of animal rescue centers during the period from 2008 to 2017. Those databases contained composition of the species, age, causes of admissions and follow-ups of injured birds within that period. Circumstances leading to admissions were also investigated from perspective or particular birds orders and their species composition. I also analysed links between sensitivity of birds orders towards impact of human activities on the environment together with quantity progress of admissions in particular years and in particular orders of birds. I also evaluated seasonal variation in number of admissions and relevance of birds age in regards to their injuries. Types of the injuries and zoological classification were also assessed. Most frequently rescue centers took care of birds from the order of passerines (Passeriformes). All in all, synanthropic species appear to be most vulnerable, which is significantly related to anthropogenic impact on the environment. In regards to age category non-independent juveniles were the ones who needed medical treatment most frequently.
