Bogdanowicz, Wiesław (prof. dr hab.)

Main research interests

Behavior and ecology of mammals, especially bats (Chiroptera). I work using both 3D geometric morphometrics methods and population genetics methods.

Ongoing research project

Skull morphology of Pipistrellus pipistrellus and P. pygmaeus — a 3D geometric morphometrics approach. In this project morphology of the cryptic species skull (especially dentary apparatus — 64 landmarks examined) were compared with reference to differences in their diet.
