The research subject conducted at the Laboratory of Behavioral and Evolutionary Ecology is the variability of individual traits and their reproductive success (particularly in the case of water birds).

Academic research conducted

  • Looking for the correlations between the condition of the female and sex proportion in nests and broods (original and shortly before acquiring the ability to fly) with various existing feeding conditions;
  • Determining the level of genetic similarity within a couple and its influence on efficiency of nests and broods and the presence of fertilisations outside the couple (preparation of DNA samples);
  • Examination of genetic structure of the population of common gull (preparation of DNA samples);
  • The use of molecular techniques in ecological and behavioral research, as well as in bird protection (DNA isolation, quality and quantity analysis, sex identification with PCR technique).

Research cooperation

  • The Polish Society for the Protection of Birds (OTOP);
  • University of Life Sciences
