RNDr. František Šťáhlavský, Ph.D.

Katedra zoologie
Oddělení: Zoologie bezobratlých a protistologie
Odborná specializace: zoologie bezobratlých, arachnologie, cytogenetika
Výzkumné zaměření: Zabývám se taxonomií, fylogenezí a karyotypovou evolucí vybraných skupin členovců, s hlavním důrazem na řády pavokouvců. Studuji mechanismy diferenciace karyotypů a jejich potenciální vliv na speciaci.
Výuka: Participuji na přednáškách a praktikách Zoologie bezobratlých pro odborníky i pro učitele, Genetické metody v zoologii, Advanced invertebrate zoology, Arachnology, Biology of arachnids. Dále se účastním výuky v rámci Terénního cvičení ze zoologie (většinou v okolí Prahy)
