Sledování integrace koní do stáda v aktivním ustájení
MACHOVÁ, Radka
The aim of this diploma thesis was to prepare an overview of the current scientific findings regarding the ethology of horses, housing technology and manifestations of stress in horses. Another goal was to prepare an own observation, the aim of which was to evaluate the course of familiarization of newly arrived horses placed in the integration box with the new herd during the first three days and to evaluate the importance of the integration box. A total of three young horses up to the age of 3 were monitored, integrated into an active stable in an integration box with the use of camera recordings. Each horse was monitored continuously for the first 3 days of integration. The duration of individual categories of behavior was recorded in minutes. A total of 216 hours were evaluated. The data was processed in Microsoft Excel. Subsequently, a statistical evaluation was performed using the chi-square test and the paired t-test. For all horses, the frequency of social behavior was found to be highest on the first day and then decreased, on average from a total of 174.7 minutes on the first day to 84 minutes on the third day. However, a difference was noted between the observed individuals in the length of the total time spent on social behavior (110 min, 197 min and 766 min). This difference was confirmed as statistically significant (p-value = 0.004). During the first three days, the proportion of locomotion decreased on average from 207.3 minutes on the first day to 144.3 minutes on the third day, and on the contrary, the time spent on eating behavior - eating increased from an average of 342.3 minutes on the first day to 497.7 minutes on the third day and rest time on average from 333 minutes on the first day to 450 minutes on the third day. When comparing the behavior of horses during the day and at night, social behavior, locomotion and alternative posture during the day predominated. In the case of social behavior (average 73 and 47 min), this difference was not conclusive (p-value = 0.12 > 0.05), on the contrary, the average time of locomotion (average 118 and 75 min) and alternative posture (average 144 and 75 min) differed significantly between day and night (p-value = 0.02 < 0.05). The results of the work show that during the first three days in the integration box, the signs of stress subside in horses. The influence of the individual and his temperament on the course of integration in the first three days was confirmed. Thus, the use of an integration box when introducing horses appears to be suitable for reducing stress and for safer inclusion of the horse in a new herd with subsequent habituation to an active stable.

Kdo je boss teď? aneb dopad farmaka sertralinu na hierarchii raků
MAREŠ, Josef
Pharmaceuticals' pollution of open waters is a current threat to aquatic organisms. The development of pharmacies and increased consumption of drugs leads to a burden on the aquatic environment with dangerous pollutants. Due to the fast and stressful lifestyle, the consumption of antidepressants increases significantly in the majority of the human population. After consumption and excretion, antidepressants and other drugs enter groundwater and surface water through wastewater treatment plants, which can have a secondary effect on non-target organisms. This master thesis assesses the possible impact of the commonly used antidepressant sertraline on the mutual social behavior of marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis). The experiment was based on monitoring the behavior of different pairs of different crayfish. The created dyads assessed mutual interactions between control crayfish, crayfish exposed to sertraline, and reciprocally between both crayfish groups. Three weeks before monitoring, crayfish were exposed to an environmentally relevant sertraline concentration of 1 g?l-1. The results were evaluated by sensory assessment according to available methods, and subsequently, the statistics were assessed. No group of crayfish observed showed a significant difference in behavior. Thanks to the initial phase of experiments of this type, we cannot determine with certainty from the results that sertraline does not affect the social behavior of marbled crayfish. However, along with other antidepressants, sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is undoubtedly a potential threat to the environment.

Oxytocin and Social Behavior in Laboratory Rodents
Aruťuňanová, Patricie ; Svoboda, Jan (advisor) ; Růžička, Jiří (referee)
Oxytocin is a neuropeptide hormone that is primarily known for its neuromodulatory effects on the female reproductive system. It evolved together with vasopressin from vasotocin and is synthesized in the hypothalamus, specifically in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei from where it travels through the neurohypophysis into the bloodstream. Its peripheral effects cover a whole range of physiological processes, from inducing labor to easing anxieties. The oxytocin receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor whose agonists and antagonists are abundantly used in obstetrics. Recently, this hormone has been associated with social behavior, for instance, there have been shown its effects on agonistic behavior in laboratory rodents. In these species, it is responsible for the right course of copulation, just as it stimulates parental behavior in them. It also has a positive influence on their social memory. Oxytocin is a promising drug for neuropsychiatric diseases with social deficits.

Socialization chamois (\kur{Rupicapra rupicapra}), in the new exposition in the zoo Hluboká
BAŽANTOVÁ, Jiřina
Mountain chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) inhabit the mountain areas in the Alpine countries and the Asia Minor. In the Bohemia it was introduced in Lužické hory (1907) and Jeseníky (1913). Chamois mostly create large numerous groups, which are leaded by the most experienced female. Males live either in the small groups or solitary. The aim of this work was the ethological study, which was carried out in the zoo Hluboka and in the zoo Olomouc, and further comparison of breeding in these zoos. For processing an ethological study the direct observation method was used. Observation in the zoo Hluboka took its place for 7 months, in the morning and afternoon times. Ethological picture was carried out separately for each individual of the group (one male and two females). Except a direct observation there were used two photo traps from which records were processed for all group of animals together. In the zoo Olomouc observation was carried out in two days and executed for all group of animals together. From observations was detected that chamois in both zoos had spent the most of the time by food intaking and lying. Except the female Andulka from the zoo Hluboka, which had spent the most of the time in the stable (out of sight). Certain anti-sociality had caused her dominant female Eliška. In the zoo Olomouc physical activities had been the highest in the morning and evening hours, while in the zoo Hluboka this hadn't been observed. Three main factors which may have an influence on breeding of chamois in the human care were selected: number of animals, climate conditions and the situation of exposition.
