Josip Skejo completed his primary education in Šibenik, secondary education as a Franciscan seminarian in Sinj, while the university degrees he obtained in Zagreb (undergraduate studies in biology in 2014 under Prof. Dr. B. Primc; graduate studies in experimental biology in 2017 under Assoc. Prof. Dr. D. Franjević, Zagreb and Priv. Doc. Dr. A. Hochkirch, Trier). He is a field, lab, and museum biologist with extensive national and international experience. His fieldwork and taxonomy mentor was Prof. Dr. Nikola Tvrtković. He published 4 books, 3 chapters, and over 45 scientific papers, cited over 540 times, and described over 60 taxa new to science. He is a member of the IUCN/SSC Grasshopper Specialist Group, where he co-authored over 150 professional papers. He is a member of the national commission for the competition in biology. He works as an assistant at the Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Zagreb. He prepared his doctoral dissertation in Düsseldorf under the mentorship of Professor Dr. William F. Martin and in Zagreb under the mentorship of Associate Professor Dr. Damjan Franjević.
