'In order to see birds it is necessary to become a part of the silence.' - Robert Lynd
I am
interested in a diverse set of topics ranging from a basic avian biology (breeding
and migration), through evolutionary and behavioural ecology, to signalling and
communication in birds. I am dealing with various groups of birds, with the little auk
being the prime model species. To find out what I have been up and I am currently
dealing with, please see Publications and Ongoing research
I am carring out my research both in the field (now mostly Arctic) and in the molecular lab (molecular: sexing, parentage analyses, population genetics, MHC genes). Please contact with me, if you would like to collaborate.
I am currently hold a post-doc position (50/50 research and teaching) at Department of Vertebrate Ecology and Zoology University of Gdańsk, Poland
