Jaroslav Piálek Editor

Miloš Macholán is a senior scientist and head of the Laboratory of Mammalian Evolutionary Genetics at the Institute of Animal Physiology and Genetics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, and Professor of Zoology at Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic. He is a recipient of the Otto Wichterle Award for outstanding young scientists. Stuart J. E. Baird is Associate Professor at the Research Centre for Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (CIBIO), University of Porto, Portugal, and Chargé de Recherche (première classe), INRA, France. He has studied hybridisation on four continents and his current research interests include spatial genetics, speciation and inference from genomic data. Pavel Munclinger is head of the Department of Zoology at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. He teaches molecular ecology and evolutionary genetics and is particularly interested in mouse transposons and hybrid zones. Jaroslav Piálek is a senior scientist at the Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Brno. He has developed dozens of wild-derived house mouse strains to study the evolution of genetic incompatibilities at incipient stages of speciation in two European mouse subspecies.
