Our research in the field Cnidaria comprises different taxa with the main focus on species of Scyphozoa, Hydrozoa and Staurozoa.
In taxonomic studies we use various morphological approaches as well as molecular methods. In addition, we use live cultures to rear different life stages of selected species for taxonomic and ecological studies.
