BSc, MSc Charles University

My major interests are in the ecology and ecological stoichiometry of polar aquatic ecosystems with an emphasis on stable isotopic and elemental composition of polar tardigrades and rotifers. I am currently trying to elucidate the role of these small beasts in polar areas and their potential impact on their functioning.
