Preliminary scope of work

Cílem práce by mělo být shrnutí poznatků o vlivu změn ve velikosti a počtu buněk na celkovou velikost těla živočichů. Práce by se měla soustředit na mezidruhové i vnitrodruhové srovnání a pokusit se odhalit hlavní faktory působící změnu ve velikosti a počtu buněk (např. teplota prostředí).
