Research priorities

We use fish to investigate general questions in ecology and evolution as well as applied issues in fisheries management, conservation of aquatic habitats and floodplain restoration. Our field and experimental studies are conducted in Europe, Asia and Africa.

The current topics investigated in our department are:

behavioural and evolutionary ecology of bitterling fish

adaptation and coevolution of bitterling and their mussel hosts

demography, ecology and biogeography of Nothobranchius furzeri

ecology, distribution and parasites of invasive fishes and their impact on native fish biodiversity

0+ juvenile fish community structure in lowland rivers and their flood plains

optimisation of methods for 0+ juvenile fish sampling

diversity of fish communities and population parameters of key species in various types of aquatic habitats

rehabilitation of aquatic habitats and ecosystems for the restoration and conservation of fish biodiversity

revision of the species structure of the genera Gobio and Romanogobio in the Eurasian area

molecular biodiversity inventory of the ichthyofauna of the Czech Republic

immune and physiological parameters in Carassius gibelio

impacts of metazoan parasites on 0+ juvenile fish development

community ecology of fishes in the Gambia River floodplain, Senegal, West Africa

reproductive isolating mechanisms in the East African annual fishes Nothobranchius spp.
