Benešová, Šárka ; Andreska, Jan (advisor) ; Hanel, Lubomír (referee)
This thesis builds on my bachelor thesis "Selected mammals in elementary and secondary education". It deals with the opinions of 8th and 9th grade pupils of elementary schools on the dangers posed by selected mammal species. Among the selected species in this work are brown bear (Ursus arktos), wolf (Canis lupus), lynx (Lynx lynx), fox (Vulpes vulpes), dog (Canis lupus familiaris), and wild boar (Sus strofa). All these animals are found in the territory of the Czech Republic. In addition to the perception of dangers posed by these mammals, the thesis also ascertains knowledge of and attitude towards these selected species. The pupils also expressed their opinions about dog breeds and stated whether they currently had a dog, or had had one in the past, and if so, what kind it was. The study was conducted on the basis of a questionnaire survey. Questionnaires were given out at primary schools in areas, where some of the beasts abide (brown bear, wolf, lynx). The work also contains information about individual mammal species that were studied as well as the introduction of the domestic dog, its domestication and an overview of dog breeds. Key words: bear, wolf, dog, lynx, fox, wild boar, breeds

Knowledge of kindergarten pupils about animal anatomy.
HAMPEJSOVÁ, Barbora
This thesis is about wild animals living in the area Lusatian Mountains, Českolipsko, Dubskaand, Českosaské Švýcarsko, marginally in the Zoopark in Chomutov as a model group in environmental education in kindergarten. The aim is to find out the level of acquainting children with the selected endangered species, to compare how children perceive these animals, to find out how the children receive information about this topic. This research shows the range of available educational materials and auxiliary materials. On this basis there is developed a quality and comprehensive educational method connecting children closer to nature into this particular area. The aim is also from the perspective of contemporary and historic and legendary eliminate wide spread misconceptions and prejudices people against wild endangered animals and trying to clarify them.

Impact of large carnivores on forest regeneration in selected parts of the West Carpathians
Lalge, Ajinkya Bharat
A positive predator-prey population dynamics is important to sustain a healthy ecosystem. When this gap is widened it can have adverse effect on the particular ecosystem. Predators play an important role to keep the population of prey species in check. Predation also influences the size of the prey population by acting as a control. Predator and prey evolve together in a constant bid for survival. A healthy population of the apex predators also gives an indication of the health of the ecosystem. In an environment which is rapidly altered by humans for commercial and recreational needs it becomes extremely important to study the prey-predator interaction and the effects it has on the ecosystem. The effect of large carnivores is thought to extend down the food web to herbivores and to plants causing a trophic cascade. In the Czech Republic where the forests play a vital role economically there was a need to assess this Impact. We carried out some research in the west Carpathian Mountains which fall in the eastern part of Czech Republic to assess the impact large carnivores have on forest regeneration. The Beskydy Mountains is home to 3 large carnivore species namely Wolf (Canis lupus), Lynx (Lynx lynx), and Brown bear (Ursus arctos). The remaining carnivore species are not considered here, but we acknowledge that also they can play an important and varied role in communities. The prey species include Red deer (Cervus elaphus), Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), and Wild boar (Sus scrofa) while other small herbivores were not considered.
