DBE - 'no alarms and no surprises'

Department of Behavioural Ecology...
...is a new research group at the Faculty of Biology of Adam Mickiewicz University established by Tomasz Osiejuk and Piotr Tryjanowski. We formally started working together on 1st December 2004, but virtually we always were interested in similar problems but worked under different affiliations due to... different life histories.
In our research we focus on several aspects of behavioural ecology. Most particularly we are interested in acoustic communication and signalling, sexual selection, long-term changes of life-history traits and habitat selection. We work mostly on birds but we will not hesitate to expand to other taxa, which may be useful for testing hypotheses and have nervous system developed. Recently, we focused mostly on such model species like shrikes, buntings, white stork and corncrake.
In our research we cooperate with several researchers and students from Czech Republic, France, Norway, Russia, Slovakia, UK and USA. Many of them visit our lab regularly.
We are interested in a few most fascinating living things in nature...
