In September 2019, we had a conference month to present our research! Veronika, Dima, Nik and Zuza attended the European Congress of Ichthyology in Lausanne with the following contributions: Nik Lupše – Evolution […]
Our research on deep-sea fish vision published in Science!
Silver spinyfins (Diretmus argenteus) live in the deep-sea and have extremely adapted “super-vision” with 38 rhodopsin genes in their genome. Our recent study was published in Science including the cover page. We found three […]
Nik Lupše attended the graduation ceremony at National University of Ireland, Galway.
Nik received his “Master of Science in Zoology” degree there with the Master thesis entitled: “Evolution of cuttlefishes (family Sepiidae) through molecular and morphological investigations”. Congratulations!!
