RNDr. Petra Horká, Ph.D.
Research Interests
Research in my group is focusing on various apects of fish ecology and behaviour using combination of field surveys and laboratory experiments. Our current research interest include 1) trophic ecology of fish in anthropogenically impacted rivers using δ15N and δ13C 2) validation of a new animal model of schizophrenia 3) using genomic DNA as a proof of fish meat adulteration and 4) factors influencing movement activity of fish in rivers.
