Research interests

  • conservation and population genetic,
  • reproductive strategies in birds (conspecific brood parasitism, extra pair paternity),
  • landscape fragmentation, predation and evolution of antipredation strategies,
  • metagenomic (interactions between vertebrates and microorganisms).

    Education

  • 1999-2004: undergraduate study - Charles University Prague, Faculty of Science, Zoology. Diploma thesis: Consequencees of antipredation behaviour and crypsis in Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos).
  • 2004-2009: Ph.D. study - Charles University Prague, Faculty of Science, Ecology. Ph.D. thesis: Distribution of predators, predation risk and antipredation strategies in waterfowl.

    Employment

  • 2005-present: Charles University Prague, Faculty of Science, Zoology,
  • 2012-present: Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Departmant of Population Biology.

    Current Ph.D. students

    Projects

  • Next-generation technologies in evolutionary genetics (2012-2015),
  • Individual reproductive strategies of mallards (Anas plathyrhynchos) investigated by non-invasive approaches of molecular ecology (2005-2006),
  • Alternative reproductive strategies in Tufted duck (Aythya fuligula), (2007-2009),
  • Functional ecology of nest construction in waterfowl (2007–2009),
  • Integrated research of the effects and consequences of artificially reared mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) on wetland ecosystems with the application of advanced ecological and molecular techniques (2008-2010).
