Conservation aspects of endemism in Central Europe with special respect to genus Sorbus
 Tesařová, Anna ; Urfus, Tomáš (advisor) ; Macková, Lenka (referee)
Endemit is an organism living exclusively within a particular area on Earth. There are several mutually interconnected mechanisms leading to endemism i.e. allopathic speciation, polyploidization, hybridization and apomixis. This thesis deals with describing particular modes of endemic speciation and their occurrence. The most significant concept is certainly discrimination of paleoendemites and neoendemites. Paleoendemites are very rare and within Central Europe occur scarcerly only in Western Carpathians. Neoendemites are hardly comparable among Central European states. The concentration of endemics is closely related to the global centers of diversity that are distributed in highly unbalanced way. The genus Sorbus is essential group with regard to endemism in Central Europe. That is why the experimental part of my thesis was focused on flowcytometric analyses (absolute genome size and DNA ploidy level) of 13 endemic Sorbus species. Triploidy was proved to be prevailing ploidy level. Among triploid samples 6% of variation was recorded. The absolute genome size of the remaining endemic taxa indicated tetraploid level.
