Excited to share that in October, I started a 2-years postdoc in Hanley Color Lab at @georgemasonu.bsky.social. We're going to study bird color vision in the wild 🔎🪺🐦 Many challenges ahead! 😁 The position is funded by @nawapoland.bsky.social Bekker Programme.

My first paper just dropped 😳 We found that animal perception tends to follow Weber's law across a wide range of species and types of stimuli, although we saw a lot of variation too. With @jj255.bsky.social and Tanmay Dixit doi.org/10.1093/behe...
How animals discriminate between stimulus magnitudes: a meta-analysis
Often, as the magnitude of a stimulus increases, it becomes harder to detect small changes in this stimulus (termed the magnitude effect). We investigated

I'm very pleased to share that my picture of the red-backed shrike eggs made it on the cover of Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology 😊

Recently, the 1st chapter of my thesis was published in Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology. We found that colour of spots on eggshells is related to condition of females and chicks, but not to male provisioning effort in the red-backed shrike.

In April, I successfully defended my PhD thesis at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Many thanks to all who supported me along this long journey, especially my supervisors Adrian Surmacki & Marcin Tobółka, family & friends. New challenges ahead! 😀
