Introduction
I am Dr. Zoltán Korsós, associate professor at the Department of Ecology. At the department, I teach Basics of Ecology, Research Design and Ecological Analysis Methods subjects for BSc students, and I organize Field Practice IV. In addition, I participate as an instructor in some chapters of the Zootaxonomy subject. I teach Ecology and Nature Conservation for MSc students, and I also teach Exotic Zoology. My area of research and interest is the conservation ecology of herpetology (amphibians and reptiles), as well as the taxonomic, systematic and zoogeographic study of Diplopoda, with special emphasis on the fauna of East Asia.
Main research areas
- ecology and conservation of domestic amphibians and reptiles
- taxonomy of domestic Diplopoda
- taxonomy and zoogeography of East Asian (Korea, Japan, Taiwan) bipeds
Topic management (current)
MSc students: 2
BSc students: 2
