Research activities

• Participation in Research Projects: 2015 - 2017: Evolution of Rodents and their Parasites in Open Habitats of Eastern Africa 2010 – 2013: Rodent Communities in a Changing Environment: Implications for Human Health in the Alps (PI of the FP7 European project) 2010: Comparative Phylogeography of Zambezian Region in Southeastern Africa Using Small Mammals as Model. 2005 – 2008: The Diversity and the Ecology of Vertebrates of the West Africa. Czech Science Foundation 2002 – 2004: Sex Ratio in Voles – Can Mothers Manipulate Sex of Their Offspring? Czech Science Foundation Professional Experience: Training and professional experience received in the Czech Republic, France, Italy and UK in sampling small mammals (rodents, shrews, bats) both in Europe and Africa (through a range of habitats and countries); laboratory experience (DNA analyses at various levels and screening of rodent helminths); and a range of statistical data analyses in population genetics (various classic and Bayesian methods including Approximate Bayesian Computation), population and community ecology, host-parasite interactions and social networks of animals. Research Interest: - Population history of European and African small mammals (phylogeography, invasion genetics and speciation; inferring population history through Bayesian modelling based on genetic data) - Interactions between rodents and their gut helminths and ectoparasites - Distribution and dynamics of rodent-borne viruses (LCMV, hantaviruses) - Social network analyses revealing small mammal social structure, behaviour and parasite/pathogen dynamics - How global environmental changes affect wild small terrestrial mammal populations and communities
