Spatial activity of birds and methods of its continuous monitoring
Havelka, Jan ; Sedláček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kauzál, Ondřej (referee)
The aim of this work was to collect current knowledge of avian spatial aktivity focusing to its internal structure, using modern telemetry devices which allows continuous monitoring of small animal species. In the light of these new methods, avian home ranges seem to be more dynamic structures, changing during diurnal and nocturnal acitvities, breeding cycle, age, sex and social statut of a bird. Thanks to detailed radiotelemetry we can observe even secretive animal behaviour and its characteristics in three dimensions. Continual monitoring allows us to study migration in a detailed way, its influence to other parts of their annual cycle and to asses migration connectivity. In future these new information should be used for targeted conservation of endangered species.
Scaling spatial activity, body size and diet in bats (Chiroptera)
Křemenová, Jana ; Lučan, Radek (advisor) ; Šálek, Martin (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I have summarized the literature on the spatial scale activities for mammals in relation to body size and trophic level of the individual. I also outlined the impact of other environmental and behavioral factors. Finally, I conducted a brief comparison of the influences acting on the size of the home range in birds and mammals.
