MSc: University of Gdańsk, Faculty of Biology, Department of Vertebrate Ecology and Zoology
My research focuses on the evolutionary ecology of small mammals, with particular emphasis on the physiological and behavioral aspects of animal biology. I am especially interested in how animals respond to environmental changes, the consequences of employing survival strategies such as hibernation, and the reproductive biology of long-lived species.
