PhD student
I am a PhD student in the Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals Polish Academy of Sciences, Department of Vertebrate Zoology.
In 2020 I completed my bachelor's degree in Biology, and in 2022 I completed my master's degree in Biology, specializing in: Ecology and Biological Diversity at the University of Wrocław.
My research interests are paleontology, with particular interest in Carnivora and also archaeozoology.
My doctoral thesis carried out in the MAMBA project consists of description of the remains of the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) and the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) discovered in Late Glacial sites in Central Europe. The doctoral dissertation will examine differences in the morphology of different fox populations, and whether the populations have changed over time. I also want to explore the importance of foxes to hunting communities at the end of the pleniglacial period.
