Polish Press Agency, The Polish Society for the Protection of Birds, and Journal of Animal Ecology write about research of cooperative team of Population Ecology Lab and Charles University in Prague. The research is about avoiding competition in sibling species of birds. http://naukawpolsce.pap.pl/aktualnosci/news,28896,konkurencja-w-stylu-slowika.html https://otop.org.pl/2018/03/22/mechanizmy-unikania-konkurencji-u-blisko-spokrewnionych-gatunkow-mppl/ https://journalofanimalecology.wordpress.com/2018/03/21/how-do-birds-avoid-their-sibling-species-competitors/
The article by Lechosław Kuczyński and Anna Skoracka (Population Ecology Lab) and cooperators from the Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic was published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. The study shows how birds avoid their sibling-species competitors. Data were collected by skilled volunteers within the Common Breeding Bird Survey in Poland. The link to [...]
In "New Phytologist" journal the article co-authored by Michał Bogdziewicz (Department of Systematic Zoology) entitled "Correlated seed failure as an environmental veto to synchronize reproduction of masting plants" was published. What Michał talks about the research: Variable, synchronized seed production, called masting, is a widespread reproductive strategy in plants. Numerous ideas were proposed to explain [...]
