About

Karel Šimek is the former Department Head at the Biology Centre, based in the Czech Republic. His research primarily focuses on freshwater microbial communities, specifically examining the ecological dynamics involving ciliate populations and their responses to environmental changes. His recent articles cover a range of topics, including the impact of nutrient loads on ciliate assemblages and the role of various microorganisms in freshwater ecosystems.
