Aquatic insect assemblages in littoral zones of ponds and other man-made habitats
KOLÁŘ, Vojtěch
This thesis focuses on aquatic insect and newt assemblages in fishponds and other man-made standing waters. It reviews the effects of fishpond management and restoration of post-mining sites on main aquatic taxa, with main focus on aquatic insects in the littoral zone. The next five chapters deal with long-term changes of the littoral habitats in fishponds and with various aspects of the importance of littoral habitats for aquatic organisms, mainly predatory insects and newts. The results are used to recommend management approaches aimed to increase biodiversity and conservation value of fishponds and other man-made habitats.
Dispersal and flight activity of aquatic insects: mechanisms and consequences for community assembly.
VEBROVÁ, Lucie
Water insects represent the considerable part of the freshwater communities. One of the most spectacular ability of those organisms is dispersion among various localities. The understanding of the dispersion mechanisms is of the key importance for unhiding the basic ecological and evolutionary processes such as colonization or maintaining high diversity patches. The aim of this thesis is to summarize findings about the dispersion and its main drivers. The experimental part deals with the influence of environmental factors on the flying activity of the water insects.
