Palaeontologist from the Department of Paleozoology, University of Wrocław, where he completed master’s degree (Early Pleistocene carnivores from Żabia Cave) and the doctorate in the same area (systematic studies of the Plio-Pleistocene mustelids from Poland), graduating from the latter in 2012. Since 2010 he worked at the University of Wrocław. His main interest in the area of systematic studies of fossil and extant carnivores, with particular interest to the European area.

Doris Nagel graduated in 1989 in Institute of Palaeontology, University Vienna, where he also completed his doctoral thesis on the study of the felids from Vraona Cave. Since 2001 she is work as an associated Professor at the Department of Palaeontology. Her general research interest focuses on a wide range of topics related palaeobiology and the conservation of national fossil sites in Austria. Specific interest covered multiple aspects related to the ecology of mammals like the evolution and adaption of mammals to various environments (niche development) since their diversification from the Palaeocene. Different aspects of these investigations are food preferences specially in carnivorous mammals, evolution of the middle and inner ear, morphological adaption of the locomotion system as well as migration routes.
