I am a macroecologist doing research on issues of spatial scale, statistics, and biodiversity, with particular focus on temporal change of biodiversity. I work at Faculty of Environmental Sciences of Czech University of Life Sciences (CZU) where I teach macroecology, biogeography, and Bayesian statistics. I am also an associate editor of Global Ecology and Biogeography (Wiley) and Nature Conservation (Pensoft).
