Václav Gvoždík (born 24 August 1979) is a Czech herpetologist specializing in evolutionary biology and vertebrate phylogenetics.[1]
Between 2003 and 2010, Gvoždík studied at the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague. He later completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Basel during 2012–2013.[1]
Since 2006, Gvoždík has worked in the zoological department of the National Museum in Prague and since 2014 he has also been affiliated with the Institute of Vertebrate Biology of the Czech Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on evolution, speciation processes, and phylogenetic diversification of vertebrates, using molecular approaches, phenotypic analyses, and biogeographical methods.[1]
