In present days hunting in not only a livelihood as it was plenty years ago. Nowadays it helps among others to achieve sustainable and durable development of the environment. The purpose of the thesis is to analyze the hunting law in both, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The paper consists of ten chapters. First chapter introduces hunting legislation during the period of the common state formed by the Czechs and Slovaks. First Act which was applied in the whole territory of the former Czechoslovakia was the Hunting Act no. 225 adopted in 1947. This Act was based on the principle of connection right of hunt with the right of property to the land. Right to hunt meant inter alia a right to protect a game. In 1962 was adopted a new Hunting Act which was in accordance with the law principles of that period. Main principle of the Hunting Act of 1962 was separation of right to hunt from property right to land. Chapters Two and Three contain the relevant description of the legislation of the European Union and norms of the international law related to the hunting. The main purpose of the EU legislation as well as of the international law is the protection of the species and the nature. Due to the differences in the hunting traditions in the member states the common European hunting legislation is not desirable....

Forensic entomology has become synonymous with medico-legal entomology and involves the use of insects in legal and criminal investigations.  Insects have been used as evidence in cases of wrongful death of humans and in wildlife poaching cases for many years.  The first jail time sentence for wildlife poaching in Manitoba, Canada was awarded after insect evidence was used to create a timeline for the crime.  In the interest of advancing the science of forensic entomology, insect faunal succession was studied on four white-tailed deer carcasses in southwest Virginia in the summers of 2009 and 2010.  The patterns of insect succession between the summers of 2009 and 2010 were similar at ± = 0.05.  Necrophagous insects arrived in a successional pattern as has been observed on other animal models (e.g. pigs) during past studies conducted in southwest Virginia.  To further explore the role of wildlife specific variables to forensic entomology, larvae of Phormia regina, Meigen, were reared on pork and venison in a laboratory at Virginia Tech.  Environmental rearing conditions were 30" C, 75% RH and 14:10 hour light dark cycle.  Significant differences in lengths of 3rd instar and combined overall maggot lengths were found for maggots reared on the different meat sources.  Mean adult weights and wing lengths of venison-reared flies were significantly greater than those reared on pork at ±=0.05. / Master of Science in Life Sciences
