Ekologicko-faunistická charakteristika měkkýšů (Mollusca) PR Gutské peklo (Moravskoslezské Beskydy)

Abstract

The thesis deals with the Ecologic-Faunistical characteristics of Gastropods in the chosen area of the Gutské peklo Natural Reserve.

The main goal of the thesis is the introduction into the Biological-Ecological factors which affect the presence of Gastropods and their collecting and determination.

The first part contains general characteristics of Molluscs and describes ecological factors affecting their presence and numerousness. It also deals with Malacofauna as a model group of fauna in the environmentalist practice. The last part defines the chosen area and its evolutional characteristics and describes the natural conditions of the chosen area of the Gutské peklo Natural Reserve. The part also includes a short list of flora and fauna and especially terrestrial molluscs species.

The bachelor thesis processes and describes the species of terrestrial molluscs found in the given area. There were 12 species of terrestrial molluscs found in the researched area of the Gutské peklo, 10 of which had a shell and 2 species were without a shell. The species of Least Concern prevailed over a few Near Threatened species. As far as the species endangerment is concerned (IUCN, 2001), there were no Vulnerable species (VU) found. The prevailing species of Least Concern (LC) were represented by Laciniaria (Alinda) biplicata, Urticicola umbrosa, and Oxychilus cellarius.
