My scientific interests and research activity of my team focus on:

- Spatio-temporal patterns of evolution in the aquatic ecosystems, host-parasite co-evolution in aquatic taxa.

- Biological invasions in aquatic ecosystems: invasion routes and vectors, ecology of invaders, interactions with native communities, mediation by pathogens.

- DNA barcoding as a tool for surveying aquatic biodiversity. Integrative taxonomy of malacostracan crustaceans.

Our usual model organisms are amphipods, shrimps and isopods, chironomid flies and microsporidian pathogens.

And last but not least: we have fun doing science together!
