Laboratory of Paleobiology and Paleoecology
Group number:
330
Group head:
Ladislav Slavík
Workplace:
Rozvojová The aim of the Laboratory of Paleobiology and Paleoecology is to gather information on geological past of the Earth with special reference to paleoecology and the dynamics of the origin, development and deterioration of biological communities. Paleobiological applications – evolution science and biostratigraphy are also studied.
