Preliminary scope of work

Cílem práce je studovat energetické náklady reprodukce u plazů, konkrétně u zástupců infrařádu Gekkota a provést řadu manipulativních experimentů, které by odhalily pravidla alokace energie a její využití u rozmnožujících se samic gekonů.

Preliminary scope of work in English
