Year-round specialists? Habitat niches of migratory birds on breeding and non-breeding grounds
Zálišová, Jaromíra ; Procházka, Petr (advisor) ; Reif, Jiří (referee)
Migratory birds undertake challenging journeys over vast distances each year to cope with seasonality in their environment and to exploit peaks in seasonal resources. The environments in which they are found in these geographically distinct regions over the course of the annual cycle vary considerably, forcing them to cope with a wide range of conditions. By examining whether migratory birds are year-round specialists that follow their niche or generalists that inhabit a broader range of habitats, we can better understand their ecology and the conservation implications associated with global change. However, our knowledge of habitat selection across seasons is still limited. This thesis aimed to explore and evaluate, through a literature review, existing knowledge on habitat selection by migratory bird species on breeding and wintering grounds. Emphasis was placed on the mechanisms influencing habitat selection, including geographical and anthropogenic influences, as well as to clarify the ecological requirements and potential specialization of migratory birds during their annual cycle. The current literature shows that migratory birds are most likely less opportunistic than previously thought, but a comprehensive analysis of data on habitat use by individual species is still missing and I would...

Rozdílné přístupy států k hospodaření s dešťovými vodami
Ličková, Nina
The text deals with the application of rainwater management systems (Rainwater harvestin, in text as RWH) and their application within cities and municipalities. It solves the problem of how to use these principles by the general public in private real estate, architects and planners in public spaces and buildings. Some of the tools are implications for legislation, disseminating HDV information, education, introducing awareness and creating motivation to use RWH systems. Several countries were selected in Europe and overseas, for example, to compare individual approaches to promoting and deploying RWH. The aim is to get an overview of the possibilities of the state and the cities to support the development of the idea of proper management of rainwater.
