Introduction:
My name is Nóra Vili, I work as an assistant professor at the Department of Zoology. At the moment, I hold ecology internships for BSc students, I participate in the teaching of molecular ecology, and in the laboratory of the research group I hold internships related to several subjects. In addition, I teach in the Hungarian-language graduation preparation program of the University of Veterinary Medicine. My research interests are primarily focused on the development and ecological application of molecular markers, and more recently on the causes and consequences of sex change in amphibians.
Main research areas:
- Unique genetic identification of birds of prey using microsatellite markers
- Development of molecular markers and their use in ecological and nature conservation genetic studies
- Causes and consequences of sex change in amphibians
