Hydrobiology is the science of life processes in water.

Field of Research Interests

• acidification impact on lake and reservoir ecosystems
• paleolimnology of remote mountain lakes
• molecular ecology, phylogeography and taxonomy of Cladocera
• ultramorphology of cladoceran limbs and feeding adaptations
• chemical communication in plankton (prey-predator interaction)
• biomanipulation of water reservoirs
• cyclus of major nutrients (phosphorus, nitrogen)
• self-controlling mechanisms at population and community level
