Scientific interests:
- Standard and non-standard mechanisms of seed dispersal by birds in mosaic anthropogenic landscape and their role in plant diversity maintenance
- The role of marginal habitats in the maintenance of species diversity in agricultural landscape – vegetation and seed bank analysis
- Analysis of the diet of some chosen bird species connected with agricultural landscape in different types of land-cover types
