Visiting Academic
The University of Queensland
Ondrej’s area of expertise is within the field of spider ecology. His research focuses on prey-specialised spiders. In the past, he investigated mainly the predatory behaviour of these spiders. Currently, he is also interested in their venomic adaptations. He studies the efficiency of spider venoms by means of laboratory bioassays and analyses the composition of their venoms.
