Preliminary scope of work
Student shrne a kriticky zhodnotí práce zabývající se tématem celosvětového úbytku hmyzu. Jako výchozí body poslouží práce Halmann et al. 2017, 2021; Seiboldt et al 2019 a SÁNCHEZ-BAYO,et WYCKHUYS 2019 a oponentní práce např.Wagner (2019) a řada dalších. Autor by měl podchytit podstatu celé diskuze včetně prací přinášejí primární důkazy pro a proti tomuto fenoménu a vyhodnotit nejčastěji zmiňované důvody poklesu/nárůstu populačních denzit hmyzu.
