/Principal investigator of Grant VEGA, years 2017-2019. Origin of amniotes: identification of key structures of the most-basal amniotes using computed microtomography. Project summary: Our knowledge of the skeletal structures, on the basis of which it is possible to identify the most-basal amniotes, will be focused on the study: 1) of stem amniotes having an amphibian reproductive strategy, and 2) of the basal amniotes with the terrestrial reproductive strategy. Besides this, the investigation will be focused on the Parmo-Carboniferous group Diadectomorpha, the members of which play a key role as for the origin of amniotes. The first aim of the project is the knowledge of morphological transformations of the neurocranial structures during the evolutionary transition of tetrapods with amphibian reproductive strategy (Anamnia, the reproduction depending on external water) to tetrapods with reproduction not more depending on external water (Amniota, they leg the amniotic eggs on the land). The second aim is to evaluate all gained morphological data in the phylogenetic analysis to resolve the relationships of the investigated taxa at the transition stem amniotes – basal crown amniotes.  

Principal investigator of Grant VEGA, zears 2017-2019. Project summary: The research focuses on the study of two Permocarboniferous sister groups: stem amniotes (the Permain groups Seymouriamorpha and Diadectomorpha) having the amphibian reproduction strategy, and basal crown amniotes (the Upper Carboniferous groups Captorhinidae and Protorothyrididae) having the terrestrial reproduction strategy. The first aim of the project is to understand the morphological transformations of the neurocranial and cerebral

structures which occurred during the evolution of the transition from tetrapods with amphibian reproduction strategy (Anamnia) to tetrapods which were released from the external aquatic habitat with their reproduction strategy (Amniota). The second aim is the study of the cranial and postcranial skeletal structures which may indicate the transition to a terrestrial lifestyle and reproduction strategy. The third aim of this project is to evaluate all obtained morphological data in the phylogenetic analysis in order to identify interrelatioships of investigated taxa. 

Co-investigator of grant VEGA for 2013-2015 . Project summary: The project focuses on research of the squamate reptiles, especially groups of Lacertilia and Amphisbaenia during periods of the significant global climate changes - the Cenozoic. The project aims to survey of the sedimentary deposits of Central Europe dating to this time. As stratigraphically oldest, the lizard finds from the lake sediments of German Eocene locality - Messel pit will be studied. The site is under UNESCO protection and represents a unique paleontological site of world importance. The Paleogene sediments from the site Bystré, the Lower Miocene sediments of the Dolina mine in the Veľký Krtíš and sediments the Upper Miocene site of Borský Svätý Jur will be further investigated. The research will also be done on the reptile finds from the locality Wiesbaden in Germany. The sediments of this locality are dated to the Lower Miocene, Zone MN 2. This ahead of the migration of species from Africa to Europe due to climate change and the openning of migration routes caused by the collision of African and European continent in the lower Miocene. From this viewpoint, finds from this site could to fill gaps in our knowledge of the original reptile fauna, before new groups were followed by migration from Africa. In the following time period (MN 3 – MN 6), the lizards from next five German localities will be studied. In terms of detailed knowledge of comparative anatomy, the morphology of the extant relevant taxa will be studied and compared. A knowledge of a detailed anatomy, functional morphology and life demands of living taxa enables correctly interpreting the fossil record, evolution of animals and paleoecological conditions. Research will be conducted multidisciplinary approach and by application of newest methodologies to ensure the highest quality data. 

Principal investigator of grant VEGA for 2012-2014: Morphology and evolution of squamate reptiles of the subfamily Anguinae (Squamata, Anguidae) and the phylogenetic origin of their basic skeletal structures Project summary: The aim of this project is the study of the interrelationships of members of the subfamily Anguinae on the basis of the study of the morphology and ontogeny of Recent and fossil members of the subfamily Anguinae in the context of the evolution of the family Anguidae (Squamata, Anguimorpha). Besides this, the research will be focused on the study of the phylogenetic origin of the skeletal structures of anguines on the basis of the study of the stem and basal amniotes. Further, it will be studied the morphological transformation of the skeletal structures from their appearance in the stem and basal amniotes up to the crown amniotes represented by lizards of the group Squamata.
