Preliminary scope of work
Během vývoje mezozoických amonitů se několikrát objevila zajímavá adaptace – gigantismus. Cílem rešeršní bakalářské práce je shrnutí výskytů v evoluční a geologické historii, v souvislosti se změnami mořského ekosystému. Práce by měla odpovědět na otázky, proč ke gigantismu docházelo, a zda byla tato adaptace úspěšná. Bakalářská práce by měla předcházet diplomové práci, ve které by se uchazeč/ka zaměřil/a na konkrétní případy v české křídové pánvi.
Preliminary scope of work in English
During the development of Mesozoic ammonites, an interesting adaptation - gigantism - appeared several times. The aim of the research bachelor's thesis is to summarize occurrences in evolutionary and geological history, in connection with changes in the marine ecosystem. The work should answer the questions why gigantism occurred and whether this adaptation was successful. The bachelor's thesis should precede the diploma thesis, in which the applicant would focus on specific cases in the Bohemian Cretaceous basin.
