EcoSpace is a team of ecologists, zoologists, and conservationists specializing in the role of environmental heterogeneity in shaping biodiversity patterns.
Head of the team: Assoc. Prof. David Hořák, Ph.D.
EcoSpace Lab investigates how environmental heterogeneity and the plurality of natural systems drive spatial patterns of biodiversity, with a particular focus on African ecosystems and wetlands. Our research integrates ecological and biogeographical perspectives to examine the structure and complexity of physical and ecological spaces, and how species distributions and assemblages are shaped by variation in ecological niches and behavioral strategies. We apply these insights to advance nature conservation.
