FIELD OF RESEARCH

• ecology of meiofauna

• impact of different stressors on harpacticoid copepod community, namely the organic pollution (fish farming) and hypoxia/anoxia

• experiments in situ and in vitro,  and with 13C isotopes to study the benthic food webs 

• large scale harpacticoid copepod diversity and biogeography 

• diet of economically important fish of Slovenian coastal waters (North Adriatic)

• microplastic pollution of coastal sediments
