Marko Sabovljevic (05. April 1974) Belgrade, Yugoslavia. I graduated Biology (2000, BSci, University of Belgrade, Serbia) and then received MSci (2003, University of Belgrade), PhD (2006, University of Bonn, Germany) in Biology. Following the post-docs in various European Science Institutions, in 2008, I joined Faculty of Biology academic stuff at University of Belgrade as Assistant Professor in Department of Plant Ecology and Phytogeography. In 2014 I received Associate Professorship and in 2019 Full Time professorship. In 2022 I joined academic stuff at Botany Department of University of Kosice. I am giving various courses like Molecular Ecology, Biogeography, Plant Ecology, Biodiversity Conservation or Bryophyte Biology, for example. My research interest goes to plant sciences and narrows to bryophyte biology i.e. any problem targeting bryophytes from the molecule to ecosystem level. Thus, my studies includes both field and laboratory work, both fundamental and biotechnological problems and bryophyte conservation. I published over 500 scientific papers, with focus on bryophytes, which even though the second largest group of terrestrial plants, are not receiving attention as much as vascular plants and a lot assumptions and not-known still waiting to be explained. I was a fellow by national (Serbia, Italy, Germany, Austria) and international funds, and visiting scholar in many European Institutes and Universities. I am a founder and leader of Bryological Association of South-Eastern Europe and a part member of many scientific societies and working groups. I am active reviewer in 55 scientific journals, editor-in-chief in one SCI journal and member of editorial boards in 18 additional journals. I participated in 106 scientific meetings world-wide and organize a few.
