Media Image of the Kolocová-Sluková the Beach Volleyball Team from the National Press within the Context of 2012 Olympics.

Title: Media Image of the Kolocová - Sluková Beach Volleyball Team from the National Press within the Context of the 2012 Olympics. Objectives: The main target of the thesis was to analyse media image of the beach volleyball team Kolocová - Sluková in the national press and the influence of the participation of the team in 2012 Summer Olympics in London on the media image in the national press. Methods: The first used method in the thesis was interview with beach volleyball players Kristýna Kolocová and Markéta Sluková. For the thesis was used Content analysis of the articles of national press and their supplements and national magazines in the period from 1st April 2011 to 15th of August 2013. There was used the Quantitative research Omnibus in the thesis too, number of respondents was 1017. Results: The thesis approved increase of the article frequency or media interest during and after participation of the team in the 2012 Olympic games, as well as character changes (size, themes etc.). Graphs and tables present the results of the analysis. Based on these results there are offered suggestions for the media communication of the team. Keywords: Beach volleyball, media, media image, Olympic games, content analysis, omnibus, interview

Ekologie kvasinek v lesních půdách

Společenstva mikroorganismů ve svrchních horizontech půdy představují významnou složku lesních ekosystémů. Navzdory tomu, že kvasinky jsou nedílnou součást společenstev půdních hub, jejich roli v lesních ekosystémech dosud nebyla věnována dostatečná pozornost. Cílem této dizertační práce bylo popsat složení společenstva kvasinek v půdě a opadu temperátního lesa pomocí sekvenace environmentální DNA, identifikovat dominantní druhy kvasinek a popsat, jak složení jejich společenstva obráží biotické a abiotické podmínky prostředí. Dalším cílem bylo izolovat kvasinky z lesní půdy a opadu a popsat nové druhy, které jsou významně zastoupené v environmentální DNA. Reprezentativní izoláty byly charakterizovány z hlediska jejich schopnosti využívat organické látky a podílet se na rozkladu mrtvé organické hmoty. Výsledky této práce ukázaly, že kvasinky představují podstatnou část společenstev hub v půdě a opadu temperátního lesa s vyšším relativním zastoupením v půdě. V opadu se společenstva kvasinek liší mezi porosty buku, dubu a smrku. Faktory, ovlivňující složení společenstva v půdě, jsou pravděpodobně složitější a zahrnují vliv abiotických podmínek a vegetace. Přestože faktory prostředí ovlivňují společenstva kvasinek a vláknitých hub podobně, existuje mezi nimi rovněž mnoho rozdílů. Navzdory taxonomické...Microbial communities inhabiting upper soil horizons represent an important component of forest ecosystems. However, despite the evidence that yeasts represent an integral part of topsoil fungal communities, their role in forest ecosystems received so far little attention. The aims of my PhD thesis were to describe yeast communities in soil and litter of a temperate forest using high- throughput sequencing of environmental DNA, identify dominant yeast species and to explore how the composition of yeast communities reflects the biotic and abiotic factors of the environment. I also aimed to isolate yeasts from forest topsoil, describe novel yeast taxa abundant according to the environmental DNA survey and screen representative isolates for the traits relevant to their involvement in organic matter transformation. I have demonstrated that in forest topsoil, yeasts represent a substantial proportion of fungal communities with higher relative abundance in soil than in litter. In litter, yeast communities differ significantly among beech, oak and spruce-dominated stands. Drivers of community assembly are probably more complex in soils and comprise the effects of soil chemistry and vegetation. Even though there are similarities in the response of the communities of yeasts and filamentous fungi to...Katedra genetiky a mikrobiologieDepartment of Genetics and MicrobiologyPřírodovědecká fakultaFaculty of Scienc

A meta-analysis of global fungal distribution reveals climate-driven patterns

The evolutionary and environmental factors that shape fungal biogeography are incompletely understood. Here, we assemble a large dataset consisting of previously generated mycobiome data linked to specific geographical locations across the world. We use this dataset to describe the distribution of fungal taxa and to look for correlations with different environmental factors such as climate, soil and vegetation variables. Our meta-study identifies climate as an important driver of different aspects of fungal biogeography, including the global distribution of common fungi as well as the composition and diversity of fungal communities. In our analysis, fungal diversity is concentrated at high latitudes, in contrast with the opposite pattern previously shown for plants and other organisms. Mycorrhizal fungi appear to have narrower climatic tolerances than pathogenic fungi. We speculate that climate change could affect ecosystem functioning because of the narrow climatic tolerances of key fungal taxa.This article is published as Větrovský, Tomáš, Petr Kohout, Martin Kopecký, Antonin Machac, Matěj Man, Barbara Doreen Bahnmann, Vendula Brabcová et al.

Yeasts from temperate forests

Yeasts are ubiquitous in temperate forests. While this broad habitat is well-defined, the yeasts inhabiting it and their life cycles, niches, and contributions to ecosystem functioning are less understood. Yeasts are present on nearly all sampled substrates in temperate forests worldwide. They associate with soils, macroorganisms, and other habitats and no doubt contribute to broader ecosystem-wide processes. Researchers have gathered information leading to hypotheses about yeasts' niches and their life cycles based on physiological observations in the laboratory as well as genomic analyses, but the challenge remains to test these hypotheses in the forests themselves. Here, we summarize the habitat and global patterns of yeast diversity, give some information on a handful of well-studied temperate forest yeast genera, discuss the various strategies to isolate forest yeasts, and explain temperate forest yeasts' contributions to biotechnology. We close with a summary of the many future directions and outstanding questions facing researchers in temperate forest yeast ecology. Yeasts present an exciting opportunity to better understand the hidden world of microbial ecology in this threatened and global habitat
