The study of the phylogeny and taxonomy of selected genera of Erebidae (Lepidoptera; Noctuoidea) as a tool for understanding of origin of the Afrotropical moth fauna
In this thesis, I conducted the taxonomical and phylogenetical research of selected Afrotropical moth genera, especially an Old-World moth genus Amerila, Walker 1855. All the studied genera belong to the family Erebidae (Lepidoptera; Noctuoidea) and are well-presented in the state European entomological collections. In our research, we used mitochondrial, or mitochondrial and nuclear markers and different molecular analyses to resolve relationships within the studied genera (exclude Meganaclia, Aurivillius 1892). Comparative morphological analysis was used in all the studies. We aimed to update the classification of studied Lepidoptera genera, and to highlight the gaps in taxonomical study of Afrotropical moth fauna in general.

představení kandidáta školitelem; prezentace 10.03-10.28; posudek školitele; otázky Erki Ounap: mluví spatra; candidate fulfils criteria; Species concept used? Support by morphology? Why some nodes are not resolved? - singletons, and only barcodes available for some species in genbank; why not applied integrative taxonomy? - unpinned material from freezer, freezer switched off; estimation of number of species? > 5x present; richness of collections in European museums; associated mates and females - small shared characters; relationship of Afrivćan and Asian clades - multiple dispersal; Reza Zahiri from 10.58, mluví spatra; good thesis, well presented; impressive ability in taxonomy; species concept? 1) morphology but possible cryptic; 2) molecular, 3) distribution and ecology; are barcodes sufficient for description? no - hybridization, contamination, bias from Wolbachia, advantages - fast, reconstruction of relationships, unraveling cryptic; polytomies? not enough data, few genes, conflict; time calibration? - later in collaboration; P. Sroka: distribution of the tribe - appeared after Gondwanian split; L. Bocák: identifiers of sequences not provided in IV; mimicry not supported; in Australia not vicariance but dispersal.
