Research priorities

Empirical data from observations and experiments supplemented by simulation modelling are used to investigate important questions of evolutionary biology of populations, such as (model organisms given in parentheses):

hybrid zones as barriers against gene flow and their role in speciation (Mus, Sorex, Triturus)
study of factors affecting population structure (Rhodeus, Pipistrellus, Praomys, Rattus)
links between life history traits, adaptive genetic variation and population dynamics in small mammals (Arvicolinae)
phylogeography and reconstruction of historical colonization (Mustela, Clethrionomys, Microtus, Praomys)
mating systems, analysis of reproductive success by using DNA markers (Apodemus, Rhodeus, Carpodacus)
conservation genetics of vertebrates, development of non-invasive techniques of DNA sampling (Lutra, Rupicapra, Tetrao, Spermophilus)
immunogenetics of wild living vertebrates - links between genetic variation and fitness (Mus, Carpodacus, Rhodeus, Perdix)
mechanisms and evolution of thermal physiology traits in ectotherms (Triturus)
functional approaches in studying morphological adaptations (Zootoca, Triturus)
