Overview

Martin Reichard is affiliated with the Czech Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences, with significant contributions to subfields including nature and landscape conservation, ecology, aquatic science, genetics, and ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

Themes central to Reichard's work include fish biology, ecology, and behavior; fish ecology and management studies; parasite biology and host interactions; aquatic invertebrate ecology and behavior; chromosomal and genetic variations; and genetic diversity and population structure.

The scientist frequently publishes in several notable venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Scientific Reports, Journal of Vertebrate Biology, Molecular Ecology, and Journal of Fish Biology.

Reichard has collaborated extensively with a recurring set of co-authors, including Radim Blažek, Jakub Žák, Matěj Polačik, Iva Dyková, and Tomáš Pavlica.
